I sell an item that is a 3-pack for $10 + $7 shipping.
A potential customer just messaged me and said...
I am interested in this item, but I only want one. How much for one?
Reply: I usually only sell them in a 3-pack. I guess I could sell you one for $4 but the shipping would still be $7 so it wouldn't be worth it. Aloha, James
Ok, I would just like to buy one please, could you please sort that out for me so I can pay you. Thank you.
Now I'm deciding what to do.
Do it, make a listing for one?
Don't do it?
Ignore?

·2 months agoI don't get it. But I'm glad that he actually bought it. Congrats on the sale!

OP2 months agoWOW! He bought it.
WOW! He's a repeat customer.
WOW! It's going to Australia via EIS.
I don't know what he paid for the EIS part but I find it odd that he's ok spending $12 for 1 but not $17 for 3 ... but who am I to question that? A sale is a sale.

·2 months agoIf I found the right item EIS charged $20.05 (inclusive of your $7 charge). No duty/tariffs as Australia has a very high di minimis exemption (about US$700)

·2 months agoCan you make any profit only selling one item for $4 (with $7 shipping)? I would just explain to the customer that this is not feasible (they won't want to pay $7 for shipping again).

OP2 months agoThey cost me less than $1 each.
I thought to myself...
In the time it took me to make this post, I could have made a new listing, so I did.

There goes a $4 sale, down the drain.
