eBay Sellers:  How to Deal with Difficult Customers

 

If you are an eBay seller, you will have to do business with eBay buyers.  As traditional retailers do, you may also have a problem with some customers. While the majority of eBay buyers are more than pleasant to deal with, there are some who can gruffle your feathers.h  While your first thought may be to give a difficult eBay buyer a piece of your mind, you may want to refrain from doing so, especially if you rely on eBay to generate income for yourself and your family.

 

When it comes to dealing with difficult eBay buyers, one problem that commonly arises is with your current auction listings.  It is not uncommon to get an eBay message from a buyer requesting that you lower your price on one of your listed items.  In fact, it is not uncommon for an eBay buyer to mention that other eBay sellers have the same items listed for less.  If and when this ever happens to you, you will want to keep your cool. You should simply state that you are unable to lower your asking price.  Kindly suggest to the eBay buyer in question that if they are looking for more affordable prices, they should consider doing business with an eBay seller who offers more affordable merchandise.  The decision as to whether or not you want to lower your eBay prices is yours to make, but you should never feel pressured into doing so.

 

Another situation that commonly arises on eBay, concerning difficult eBay buyers, is the payment process. There are many eBay buyers who make the mistake of assuming that all eBay sellers accept the same methods of payments, but not all do.  One of the most common methods of payment accepted is PayPal.  If you currently do not have a PayPal account, you may want to look into doing so.  Regardless of what methods of payments you do accept, you are urged to outline them in your auction listings.  Yes, eBay has a section for that, but, unfortunately, not all sellers make their way down to that section.  Should you have a buyer that wants to make alternative arrangements, you need to use your best judgment.  If you cannot reach an agreement, eBay should be notified.
