Selling on Ebay Classifieds can be a test of patience.
Much to the amusement of other users when this becomes public.
This is also the case in this example.
Munich – Anyone who has already bought or sold something on
Ebay classifieds
will probably know the feeling: many inquiries, often non-binding, mostly without a real name - you quickly notice whether they are serious.
The nerves of some users seem to have worn out as a result.
This shows a chat history between a seller and a prospect.
As the saying goes:
Well, that escalated quickly
.
The trigger?
A technical inquiry about boxing, available on the Best of Classifieds Facebook page.
Ebay Classifieds: Seller reacts annoyed to demand
The interested party asks about the sound quality - but he does not put a question mark.
The salesman then replies a little tersely: "That's what a subwoofer sounds like... Boom, boom", followed by a shrugging emoji.
For the interested party, the answer is more of a provocation than satisfactory information. Visibly annoyed, he responds with "What's wrong with you" - again without a question mark.
Apparently enough for the seller.
He only replies: "What kind of question is that!
Everything is right with me".
The more heated the choice of words became, the more the number of correct punctuation marks was reduced.
"I don't think so, go to the doctor," the angry prospect hurls at the seller.
It is unlikely that the two could finally agree on a sale.
In this case, too, the chats have become an internet hit.
However, not all offers are so entertaining, sometimes a scammer is hiding behind them*.
And some sales are even illegal.
