[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 2136297, member: 147"]I had a frustrating experience with someone I think must be a person board and stuck at home. I have some things up on eBoo, he messaged me for my best price on some glass. Then he asked about a second item if he bought both. Then he asked about what I could do for shipping. He told me he would be paid Tuesday (this was on a Saturday) and could I wait until then. I said yes, ended both listings and set up a listing just for him with the agreed upon price and shipping. Then he asked about a third item. Then Tuesday came and he asked me if he could think about buying them for a little longer. I replied: [I]Since you first contacted me on 4/25 you have sent [B]41 messages,[/B] asked a lot of questions, told me you wanted them. I researched shipping, gave you reduced prices and agreed to wait until today for payment. You have until 5:00 EST today to decide. If you do not buy the listing by then I will consider our negotiations ended.[/I] At 5:07 I ended his special listing, put the individual pieces back up for sale and blocked him. I was just as happy, he was a low feedback buyer. After 41 messages, some of them questions he had already asked me, I was afraid it would end badly, that he would change his mind and want to return the items. The next day another buyer bought one of the items :)[/QUOTE]
