Maybe it's just me, but it drives me crazy when you are trying to sell something, someone contacts you, asks for more information, pictures, videos, etc. You send what they want, answer questions and then... Nothing!  I don't care if what I have doesnt end up being something they're  looking for. BUT just say thank you, not interested or something that acknowledges you got what I sent (that you requested of me). I find that so rude! Example on FB messenger, I can see when someone has seen my message, so kindly respond.  Because in my experience there have been times I've received a message and I bumped it so it opened but I hadn't actually seen it. So, I didnt know someone had even responded. But it's happening often enough that it"d be nice to just have people acknowledge they received what they asked  you send... ok rant over! ??

I loathe selling stuff online!! I've had people commit to purchase, I send the invoice and they never pay or contact me again... several times! I've had people low ball me so bad, it IS an insult lol! I've had a zillion questions, went out of my way to get more photos, measurements, pics of my horses legs, heads, backs to show them what size my item fits, per their request ... and then.... crickets... it's super annoying! I joined a bit auction page on Facebook that they actually monitor really well... people get booted off for no pays or trying to jerk around about paypal fees..  I've had really good luck buying and selling on there.  Funny story... I listed a cheap breast collar for sale,  nothing fancy just basic.. I listed for $25.00 yes, twenty-five. I had 2 people ask me to meet half way to deliver it ... one was 45 minutes and the other was over an hour! Lol! I offered to ship at their expense,  $7.50 priority mail. Nope... about a month after I listed it, I had a man ask me all kinds of questions on it, measure it, more pics etc etc... then asks if I'll take $20 i said NO!  About 2 more months go by and I get a call from my ex farrier... he says do you still have that breast collar for $25 listed... yep i do.. he asks if he can come buy it... turns out the guy that offered my $20 is his father in law lol!!! I said you bet, its $25.00 he came and bought it for him. Sigh.....

Yep...or...

posts horse for sale.

girl messages about horse, asks price.

i tell price.

girl asks for barrel videos.

i send barrel videos.

girl asks for pole videos.

i send pole videos.

girl asks price again (like I added an extra zero by mistake the first time?)

i tell price:

girl reply’s that he is way out of her price range but very nice.

RUDE.  You knew the horses price within 30 seconds of the conversation and you still wasted my time asking for more information.  RUDE RUDE RUDE.  I’m aware he’s nice, that’s why he has that pricetag, I didn’t need you to tell me that.

Right??? I  am selling some old barn doors, they are old and heavy but in good shape.  Prices are listed in ad. Girl wants measurements. I measure all 10 doors, as they are all different, and send. She wants a picture of a specific one. I take it and send it. Then messages me back saying Her husband can make it fo $60 and says I'm asking too much!!! Like why did you even contact me then??? Ugh!
