THIS is the #1 reason I hate doing cancellations after someone purchases. 😩
This buyer asked me to bundle multiple items. While we were going back and forth, I declined 5 other offers on Vinted, Poshmark and Mercari because I was working out his bundle.
He finally purchased, so I considered everything SOLD. I went through and removed the items from Facebook Marketplace, my Facebook group, my personal page, Mercari, Vinted, eBay AND Whatnot.
Two hours later:
“My mom just bought me shirts. Is there any way you could refund me?” 🥴
Sirrrrrr. 😭😂 Your mama buying you shirts was NOT on my reseller bingo card.
Now I have to relist everything on all those platforms AND reach back out to the people whose offers I declined like, “Heyyyy… so funny story 👀😂” and hope they’re still interested. And chances are, they’re going to come back offering me even less.
I’ll probably cancel the order because I don’t want to ship it knowing he doesn’t want it, then have him be upset and possibly leave me a bad review. But I really wish buyers would be more considerate of a reseller’s time. 😩
It’s not as simple as clicking refund. Behind that one cancellation is time spent bundling, answering messages, declining other offers, delisting inventory and then doing ALL of it over again.
I’m always willing to work with my buyers, but pleaseeeee be sure you actually want something before you purchase it. 😭😂
Resellers… what would YOU do? Cancel it or ship it? 👀
