Seems simple doesn\u2019t it? Oh, but it never is simple.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Do you have a pink one?<\/p>\n
Seller: No, only what is listed Black or White.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: I really need pink.<\/p>\n
Seller: Then you\u2019ll need to go elsewhere.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: I\u2019d pay an extra dollar for a pink one.<\/p>\n
Seller I don\u2019t have a pink one.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Could you paint it?<\/p>\n
Seller: Not for a dollar. You can buy one & paint it any color you want.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: I don\u2019t have the room or paint for that.<\/p>\n
Seller: Neither do I. Perhaps you should look elsewhere for what you want.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: But you have the best price.<\/p>\n
Seller: I don\u2019t have what you want, so I don\u2019t have the best price.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: I\u2019m a single mother of a transgender, autistic, blind, diabetic, child. My little girl is crying so hard that you don\u2019t have a pink bed frame.<\/p>\n
Seller: I have a black bed frame \u00a0and a white bed frame. That\u2019s it. Take it or leave it.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: You don\u2019t have to be mean.<\/p>\n
Seller: Stating the truth isn\u2019t being mean.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: I\u2019ll pay $18 for the white one if you paint it pink.<\/p>\n
Seller: No. Another buyer is here right now.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Don\u2019t sell them the white one I want that one.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Answer me!<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Don\u2019t sell the white one!<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Where are you?<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: Why aren’t you answering me?<\/p>\n
Seller: Sorry, the white one just sold. They paid cash, and loaded it into their truck. It\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n
@transmomma56238: You bastard! I\u2019m reporting you to the administrators! I\u2019m giving you a bad seller rating! You\u2019ve upset my child! She really wanted the pink one.<\/p>\n
Administrator: We understand that you did not sell a pink bed frame to @transmomma56238 after you agreed to do so. We will suspend your account until you provide good reason for mistreating this buyer.<\/b><\/p>\n
Seller: I didn\u2019t have a pink bed frame. I didn\u2019t agree to sell one to @transmomma56238. Please review the ad. I\u2019ve included the entire text exchange with @transmomma56238 for your review.<\/p>\n
Administrator: Your explanation is insufficient.<\/strong> Pending further investigation and resolution of this matter, your account is hereby suspended.<\/b><\/p>\n 36 hours later…<\/p>\n Administrator: After review, we have reinstated your account. We caution you to be polite and courteous at all times to potential buyers. Failure to strictly follow our terms of service and community guidelines regarding abuse is not acceptable. We will be monitoring your account for any further Abuse.<\/strong><\/p>\n @transmomma56238 I\u2019ll take the black bed frame. I suppose I can paint it. But I\u2019ll only pay $10 and you\u2019ll have to deliver it. The Star marks where I am, I guess you\u2019re in California??? I need this by tomorrow.<\/p>\n Seller: Uh\u2026 No. During the 36 hour suspension you caused on my account. I sold the second bed frame. I was in fact, updating my account at this moment.<\/p>\n @transmomma56238: You bastard! You knew I wanted one of them! Why didn\u2019t you take the ad down immediately? How dare you disappoint my child like this? I\u2019m reporting you I\u2019ll make sure you never sell anything on this site again.<\/p>\n Seller: I never<\/strong><\/span> agreed to sell you anything, contrary to what you thought. I wasn\u2019t able to update the ad, or conduct any further business on this site during the account suspension you caused. Apparently the site administrator believes I somehow abused you, which I did not. The shit is sold, it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s not coming back, you lost out due to your actions, NOT MINE<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve got a problem, I suggest you take it up with the Administrator.<\/p>\n Seller: Administration: ALERT!!!<\/span> You have violated our terms of service and community standards your account will be suspended pending further review.<\/strong><\/p>\n Seller: Clicks [Submit] confirming deletion of account with satisfaction. Spends rest of day placing remaining items previously for sale in large dumpster.\u00a0<\/p>\n The above is a complete flight of fancy. However it is illustrative of elements of my online sales experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ve run across more flakes than I can count. I don\u2019t understand why people would ask for something you\u2019re not advertising as if you have some back room, or off season Santa\u2019s Elves working to run up their custom order in your garage.<\/p>\n I say what I’ve got, the price I\u2019m asking, and that they\u2019ll have to come and get it. I don\u2019t get what\u2019s so difficult about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n Come to think of it, my online dating application experience is pretty much the same. I say what I\u2019m looking for, who I am, and next thing I know, someone is asking me if I can give them a ride to their drug dealer in exchange for a blowjob. Uhh NO! There is no part of that I\u2019m interested in.<\/p>\n Perhaps the issue is with me?<\/p>\n Perhaps the problem is that people are so incredibly stupid and entitled that they think they can get away with anything? Or that they\u2019re so selfish, self absorbed, and shameless, that their \u201cnormal\u201d stupidity amplifies my inherent disdain?<\/p>\n In any event, this sort of thing (my disdain for humans in general) is perhaps why I\u2019ve not been in sales in any meaningful way.<\/p>\n I\u2019d make a Dalek, Terminator, or the Matrix AI proud wiping the planet clean of defective humanity if possible, all of humanity if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019m going to embellish a bit here because I want to illustrate a point.
