I have been trying to sell this bag I bought few years ago but never carried. As it's somewhat limited ed/celebrity related item, whenever I list it, I'd get certain number of interested buyers. But as I'm sure most of you guys here experienced already, "watching" does not mean buying, hence the reason for the repeated relistings.
After I relisted it with lowered starting bid yesterday, I was contacted by someone who showed interest in it the last time it was up for auction. I did not like this person as she kept asking for discount after discount and making few payments instead of a single one. And there was something else that bothered me too, so I ended up adding her to my block list.
She's asking for yet another discount even after the starting bid is lowered than what she wanted to pay the last time. And I find it silly and funny at them same time how what she's asking for now is a discount of only $2! I couldn't help but think it's a good thing I blocked her because I do not want to sell anything to her, at whatever price.
Now, the reason for the thread... What am I supposed to reply with? Do I tell her that she's blocked? Or should I just ignore her message? I'm guessing it's most likely she won't bid anyway. Heck. I wouldn't be surprised to have her ask for yet another discount if I tell her I'm fine with $2 discount she's asking now.
How did you guys tell your buyers they are blocked, if that circumstances ever came? And when they found they are blocked, either by your notice or not being able to bid, how did they react? As you can guess, I am the worst with confrontations and now dreading to reply back to that buyer. Sigh.
