So many cancellations lately
I'm so frustrated with buyer cancellations. In the past month, I've had a bunch of cancellations across Posh, Mercari, and eBay. Just today, a buyer who is also a seller bought this item, but it was after the post office closed. Just now, she requested cancellation and wrote this whole soliloquy about how she's so stressed that she spent soo much. I wanted to say, "Do you mean you realized you probably can't resell it for 4x this amount?" because her listings are all 3-4x what mine are listed for, the same type of item.
I've also had several people recently ask to cancel, claiming their child did it. Really? Your child figured out how to submit an offer? More like, you made a bunch of offers and someone else accepted a lower offer. If your kid really is buying shit on your phone unsupervised, I hope they're sending your nudes to your exes, too. Take some responsibility!
But as a seller, you have to accept it and do a refund, because otherwise, these slobs will just damage it and cry about it to get a refund and keep it.
It's so shitty, and it doesn't hurt buyers at all. But then I relist, and I lose all the likes I had. Can't they at least restore the likes? What a bunch of shit.
eta: And this morning I have a cancelation request on ebay, for an international buyer who made an offer. Says "purchased by accident." You've accidentally sent an offer, which required clicking thru multiple steps? Liar.
But I did sell the item that was previously canceled and made me post this. This time at full list price. And it went out this morning.
