Is it reasonable of me to ignore/block this buyer?


I had set up a special listing for this buyer months ago when she wanted to buy two items from me. She then apparently backed out and then ghosted me. I never heard from her again until months later. Now, she's coming back like nothing happened and is interested in the same thing.

 

If you were me, would you try to deal with this person again? I ignored her message then blocked her after she sent me another one. I was hesitant to sell to her to begin with. I highly suspect that she was going to flip at least one of the items.

 

She can prolly get around the block with another account if she legit wants to buy it this time. Not doing her any favors by engaging her requests for discounts tho.

It all depends on how much you are willing to put up with to deal with this person. Personally, I would have blocked her as you did and ignored any further communication/selling. These types of buyers always turn out to be more trouble than the sale. Trust me. I have been here for over 23 years.

I would simply ignore and block, frankly.  I'm fairly patient and usually in favor of second chances but in this situation I'd not care to deal with the person again.  Just my opinion and personal take on things.

I would have blocked her the first time. Then it wouldn't be an issue.

I think everyone's going to have their own opinions.

Mine is, I believe in second chances.

I would give her one more chance.

Do what ever you feel is best for you.

I did. I got a new account since that time. She may think she's dealing with a whole different person. I doubt it because it's pretty obvious it's not, but some of these Care Bears people are a little soft in the head.

BLOCK & IGNORE!!  Anything else is just going to be a bad experience.

All the signs are there.  You just need to pay attention to them. 🙂

 

You said it yourself, she already "ghosted" you once ... why give her another chance?  And you even set up a special listing for her.  Maybe if she had given you some kind of reasonable explanation ...you might  consider a 2nd chance, but to act like nothing, nope!  Not falling for this again. 

 

I'm very patient myself & not quick to block, but why ask for trouble?  People show you who they are & she has shown you. I say BLOCK. Just my 2 cents.
