In the last 3 minutes of the auction, some one messages me complaining about the shipping price and that they wanted to buy the machine.... They only bid the starting bid O.o
I gotta say, would some one REALLY think that I would let a machine go for less than a dollar? I'd like to at least get back what I paid for it.
The funny thing is that ebay does say when the reserve has not been met......
One thing to remember when you are the seller. The buyer meets your terms or forget it. You do not have to feel guilty turning down someone who is trying to abuse your generous nature. There is a saying in sales: Some do, some don't, so what?, NEXT!
Don't let a deadbeat get you down. You will find a buyer, just keep at it.
Don't even answer emails of unreasonable people.
