Yeah, I learned my lesson from that, but still, how do you come up with this workflow? How can I resolve anything with the buyer directly? If we agree on not doing the transaction, how would I get rid of that thing in my seller dashboard? Like, just allow cancelling it indefinitely. What's the point here!?
Also, agree on the weirdness of the buyer. What did he gain by keeping to pretend he wants the item if really he didn't? I mean I didn't care about the slowness, was just decluttering a bit, so I wasn't in a hurry or anything.
- mrguyorama 4y agoThe sketchy workflow is because you were doing something you weren't supposed to essentially. Ebay doesn't want sellers to humor people doing scammy things. They were hoping you sent the item before they paid, or they didn't have the cashflow to complete the purchase but wanted to prevent anyone else from getting it. In ebay's world, if someone is not clearly a normal buyer, you should cancel that transaction. This goes the same for consumers, if a seller is acting weird, cancel that transaction and move on.
- SoftTalker 4y agoThat really is good advice for any online selling including Craigslist, FB marketplace, etc. Anyone who is acting even slightly weird is almost always just wasting your time.
