dfq23 131 Posted October 8, 2013 How about you use your bank card to make up the difference rather than offering half the asking price for an item which you also expect to cover the Paypal fees and overseas tracked and insured postage! Rant over!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted October 8, 2013 Could we open a section to shame these people in? I've offered less than the asking (I'm sure we all have) but never more than 10% below asking. I had items on sale through local Kijiji and idiots will offer less than 1/3 of asking. I always just ignore them, what else should one do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dfq23 131 Posted October 8, 2013 There are discounts and there are requests for the seller to metaphorically allow themselves to be financially butt f##cked. I'm also on a video game forum and there is a member who on pretty much every high value for sale post puts "i'll take it for ....." then offers something stupid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R1evans 0 Posted October 8, 2013 I've just had that scenario with an item I was recently selling, and I found it very hard not telling them to OFF in the direction of FUCK. Low ballers,bah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elp 26 Posted October 8, 2013 okeeeeeeeeeee i ask for discounts everywhere i go as do I often enough - if you don't ask, you don't get - but offering less than half the asking price on M2M where people generally are not selling for profit (and if they are we're talking minimal to cover some mod or other) is offensive....and I would say counter-productive now!

Stuvetjee 17 Posted October 8, 2013 Dunno why that guy is talking about Paypal credits, my pp account is linked with my bankaccount. so if im paying something and use paypal, they take it from my bank. Let him carry on with his "low paypal saldo" :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
