Seller 66

hey there FT,

as seller 61-64 said, it's true.

there are many experiences i've encountered with the buyers.

among the serious ones are,

case 1:

buyer was delaying payment and once payment was made, she demanded it to be posted out on that day itself.

ever thought that we had other commitments?

when i said i couldn't, she got all chaotic and started saying she's disappointed and stuff.

how irrelevant is that?

then she said, "customers are always right."

case 2:

buyer wanted to COD DURING MY EXAMS WEEK.

she demanded me to get to her car, so i went finding although i was studying for my exams, she called and said she was behind me. her being so demanding, and hung up the phone on me when i was talking so nicely, despite all that, i still put on a smile on my face and COD with her.

she looked moody, so i thought it was something that happened before she came to meet me.

i didn wanna get involved.

so, i COD and just left. suddenly, she texted me saying i'm rude, i'm demanding and that she's paying for the stuff she bought from me. i need to be a better seller.

wth?? i smiled although she was rude and said i was rude and SHOULDN'T OPEN A BLOGSHOP WHEN I HAVE EXAMS. SO IRRELEVANT.

when i asked what's her problem, she said, "customers are always right."

case 3:

buyer begged for discount and i finally gave in.

when posted, she claimed the item is ruined etc etc and wanted me to be responsible. saying cos she asked for a discount then i decided to send her a ruined item. who on earth would be so stupid to ruin their own reputation by posting something ruined?

once again, she said, "customers are always right."

many more cases that happened and one post would never be enough.

HOWEVER,

the conclusion i concluded is that ppl always say, "customers are always right."

i totally diagree.

think about it, us sellers, are trying our best to make your shopping experience the best, as we know how it is like to be a buyer as well. waiting for your purchase to come, OF COURSE, is normal. however, over anxiety causes stress and impatience. then, release it on the sellers.

and when the sellers defend themselves, they start saying that we're not good sellers cos we're rude and shouldn't open a shop.

what is going on here??

we're humans as well and we have other commitments and responsibilities to attend to. just cos you're paying, doesn't make you all right. fyi, one right doesn't make up wrongs. we're buyers as well. just ask nicely and your deed will be returned, some way or another.

we go to the extend of getting stocks for you girls, under the hot sun, fuel money, time, effort.

going to the post office to post/COD, and what do we get in return?

a slap across the face accusing this and that.

are we not appreciated as sellers?

that we should just keep quiet and let you buyers step all over us?

think about it.

ponder.

we're all human after all.

on the contrary, there are certain customers which i enjoy dealing and going the extra mile for.

because they are friendly, patient and well-mannered.

these are the ppl which i appreciate and will get appreciation in return as well.

being rude/demanding won't get you anywhere.

thanks for reading.
