Default Seller ignores my messages- didn't even buy yet
I have been watching this dress for over a month and a half but I think the price it too high, so i sent a 6 messages to the seller asking her if i could buy it at a cheaper BIN price. It has not sold snd she has relisted 5 times already. I can understand if the seller doesn't want to but why can't they just respond back and at least say no...something...anything!? Everytime they relist and it doesn't sell I ask again.

Im so annoyed that I thinking at buying it just to give her a Neg. I know thats wrong but im truly annoyed.

should i keep asking or forget it?

It is rude of the seller, but it's her right to choose to ignore you.

Sometimes I get the most annoying questions (not to say that you are annoying!), and if I were a ruder person, I would probably ignore them, but out of obligation, I answer them.

Just forget it. Obviously then seller is not someone you want to give business to anyway.

Perhaps the seller is seeing your question as annoying/rude or your offer as ridiculously low? Regardless though, ignoring your questions is needlessly rude and a lower offer is better than being stuck with an item you don't want... at least, I would have assumed as much!

I agree with the previous post - this rude seller doesn't deserve your attention. Take your business elsewhere.

should i keep asking or forget it? [What do you think? You've sent six messages during five auctions and gotten no reply. How much more annoyed do want to be. Forget about it ]

I think the seller's message is clear even though he/she has chosen to send no message, but that's the message, the fact that there isn't one. Plus, why would you want to buy from a seller that doesn't give you the time of day?

^ I agree, if she hadn't answered after a second email, i would have assumed that she didn't want to sell it at a lower price, i guess she would have lowered the BIN when she relisted if she wanted to sell it for less.
However, a quick email from her to say no thanks wouldn't have gone amiss.

Agreed- I'd just forget about it and find something else b/c even if you did buy it now, who's to say that the seller won't give you problems after the sale since she's not responding to your messages now?

I am going to bet she blocked you from doing a BIN. Just a hunch.

Agree with all of the above.She does not want to sell it lower.In her thinking it is possibly cheaper to relist than to sell at your price?? Possibly, but even so it is VERY RUDE to not even acknowledge you.Move on,waste no more time with her .As even if you do the buy it now ,you wind up paying more just to leave a neg?? Possibly then too you would not be happy with the dress as the memories it has due to this and now you are stuck trying to resell..not worth it.I email up to 2xs --just in case--no response I move on...

I will usually answer the 1st message to say that I can't take that offer. After that, rude or not, I don't answer.........personally, I think it rude to keep asking.

I offered the seller $25 less than what they were selling it for. Honestly had she just responded back even with a no i would bid. Dee- I don't think I was rude because at first I just thought she didn't get the first two because I sent it after the auction had ended.

you guys are right I wont bother. She lost a sale just because she couldn't respond back oh well

I personally think if you are a seller...its good customer service to answer questions that are asked of you..if she answered at least once..it would be over and done with...but to not answer at all seems a bit rude to me.
I answer everything..and I really don't get too many dingy questions.
