Hopefully you had a chance to read our blog post called  50 Most ANNOYING Things Online Buyers Do & Ask: What Drives a Seller Crazy, But today we are just going to rant about the types of buyers that drive every seller crazy!  Enjoy ~ 

1.  YOU NEED TO READ MY MIND... AND ALSO REFUND ME! 

While you’re enjoying a relaxing Sunday that consists of 2 bottles of wine and a Netflix binge, you see your phone notification light up and when you slide that Unlock icon you are immediately smashed in the eyes with “Chargeback Notice”. When you open the email you see “Item Not As Described”.... With literally no other details besides the buyers shipping info, and since the buyer never contacted you, you have no clue what they are unhappy with.

Leaving Bad Feedback or Filing a Chargeback without Ever Contacting is absolutely the #1 most ANNOYING type of buyer! 

2.  HARD KNOCK LIFE 

THE SOB STORY. Yes, all of us sellers agree that your life is super-duper tough because your legs were ran over by three semi truck while you were rescuing a family of abandoned baby honey badgers from Route 69 at 10:30pm on a Tuesday and that the injury has left you with daily pain and migraines and you have been saving money to purchase the Hoveround scooter but when you tried to finance it they said your credit wasn’t good enough. We truly sympathize when you say that while you were forced to roll from your bed to the computer room (because you don’t yet have the scooter) and you rolled across your sons Legos and got several embedded in your chest (specifically the window shaped Legos) and you had to be emergency airlifted to a hospital in Toronto to undergo plastic-brick-removal-surgery but the surgery was postponed because while in transit you found out your father was attacked by a pack of coyotes roaming the streets of Florida and he is dying in the critical care unit. Ma’am, trust us, we feel mega awful for you (and your pops and the badgers too) but the Adidas hoodie is still $19.99.

3.  MY UNCLE WORKS IN THE FBI! 

Everyone hates the buyer who threatens bad feedback, filing a BBB complaint, contacting the news and / or spreading the word that you are the biggest piece of crap since Hitler because you won’t let them return the $200 gown they wore to Homecoming.

4.  BUT WHY?  

It’s a dark and stormy night. The wind and hard rain is making your internet glitch. When you finally get back online, there it is…. The famous “WHY” from a buyer… “why is shipping so high?”, “ Why does it take 48 hours to ship?”, “Why do you only ship on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”, “Why, why, why?!?!?!?”

Nobody likes the buyer that compares your listing to a totally different company; "Best Buy has these same earbuds for $1 less each!" or “I saw this EXACT same set at Sally Beauty Supply for only $19.99! How do you sleep at night asking people to pay $22 for the same friggin thing?!”

5.  PLEASE TRUST ME...

It's for Charity… Like, I swear on everything… Please send it for free! - If I had a dollar for every time we are asked for donations from random people who have never bought anything from us, never contacted us previously and have utterly no intention to ever purchase through our company yet want us to ship them a specific Lot from our site (usually it’s Free People or Victorias Secret merch), I’d be ultra-rich AF, like Jeff Bezos / George Soros / Elon Musk rich AF.

Yes, all of us online sellers agree that helping the homeless people of the rough streets of Idaho is important, but lady, you don’t have an actual charity (501c3) and you don’t even have a website or a facebook event, so from our perspective it kind of looks like you just want to score some free stuff.

6.  LIKE SHAGGY SAID, "IT WASN'T ME" 

Denial: "I know you don’t cancel orders that already shipped but I accidentally left my laptop at Starbucks and someone apparently used my Poshmark account to buy those three size Medium mens jogger sweats from you. Thankfully I realized I left my computer there so I was able to go back and get it, it’s just unfortunate for you that someone did this. I wish people were more honest!!! Please cancel this purchase right away!” or “I didn't buy this! My pug jumped on my laptop when I wasn't looking.”

7. AREN'T YOU MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT?  

Buyer at 11:55pm: Hi, I need to know ASAP when my order will arrive

You: Did you check your tracking number?

Buyer: No. Can’t you just do that and tell me?
