Should i give a discount to this buyer??

[aeroblitzracing]

He seems like a nice person in message and his buying feed back is 100% BUT the feedback hes left for others is mainly negatives and neutrals and allot of neutrals with postive remarks like "good" or "correct".

not sure if i should sell to him or not. can anyone give me some insight?

I parrot what everyone else is saying... that this whole thing would likely go south, and just not worth it. I could just see this buyer leaving a feedback like: "Disagreeable seller. Would not work with me on purchase"

I would block him ASAP!

There is one major thing that comes to mind when I think of AMZ vs Ebay vs Mercari, vs posh mark is that AMZ sellers probably do not respond to those questions, the price is the price.

I can understand mounting negs for China sellers for a variety of reasons, but , still, if the feedback makes this seller uncomfortable he should not participate in this bargaining.

I wonder how many millions are lost to Ebay and sellers with excessive bartering tactics as well.

IMO,   If giving this person a discount felt right,

You wouldn't have to ask.

Always listen to that little voice,     It's rarely wrong.

I recently made a post here where a potential buyer asked for my best price and wanted cheaper shipping (in a demanding tone).  I told the buyer that I was not displaying "Best Offer" in my listing; so therefore, I was not accepting offers.  Further, I advised the potential buyer that shipping is calculated based on zip code and is as stated with no further discount, then immediately blocked.  I took a look at her FB left for others.  It wasn't pretty.    Place the block on this guy before you answer.  That should prevent further harassment from him.      Don't let ANYONE bully you like that.  Immediately block them.  That is what I did and all the posters on here supported that decision also.

Depends on what you're selling here.

It appears a lot of people who are complaining about their low sales are selling items in categories that are saturated, or no longer have the popularity/appeal they once had. It doesn't take much to see that common thread between the products and low sales. byrd69er 

You have a valid point  about selling items that are still popular  . This is why research is as  important   as checking  the advanced  sold listings regularly  .  I make only a handful  of types of themed  jewelry  so I'm always watching the  latest trends  to see what the population is currently  interested in and go from there .

I agree, and I wasn't really suggesting that he start bargaining, but in this case I could see a pattern in the guy's bad feedback and what he was complaining about, in those purchases where he had a complaint.

If he was my prospective buyer, I would have sent back the reply I suggested, asking what his concerns were, but if the OP wants to just ignore the doofus instead, I'm good with that, too.

When you give a Wolf your hand don't be surprised when they come for your arm.

If you give discounts "just because someone asks", then you are selling your items too high when you could be selling more. Something to think about.....

And that feedback history means this person is NOT a nice person and in reality, block and move on.
