I made a deal with a member on their WTS ad yesterday. We agreed on price, we agreed on location to meet, and we agreed that I would reach back today to dial in plans to meet up.
After reaching back to the seller today, they backed out of the deal, stating :
“Actually I just got another offer for the [Redacted Item] from a member a little closer and closer to my asking price so I'm gonna go with them for now.…I just got a better offer from someone else I'm sorry”
So, I offered the seller this option:
“look, I get it… but when you make a deal, you honor that deal…even if a better offer comes along 5 minutes later. We left thing with an agreed price and location to meet, and plans to dial in final timing today.
so I’ll be honorable and offer you a deal since you’re backing out on ours —
1. public shaming?
2. Negative feedback?
3. Or reconsider our deal as originally agreed?
choice is yours…”
So what say you NES… negative rep? Post their User Id here?
The seller has replied:
“Public shaming? I'm sorry but I've had numerous people back out on deals with me and never threatened them with negative feedback and public shaming. I understand your upset and I apologize again but I feel as if I should be able to choose who and how I sell my items.”
So what does the brain trust think…?
I honor my deals. Maybe that is too much of an expectation?
