Manners

[rchatlin]

I recently posted a lengthly sales list in the marketplace,
and most transaction have gone smoothly. However, some members are forgetting their manners during PM exchanges.

It's ok to ask for pictures, prices, shipping information for items you're interested in. That's how it works.

But please, have the courtesy to respond one way or the other about your continued interest level.

If you're an overseas customer, yeah, the shipping charges are gonna be high. If it's too much, just say you're no longer interested.

But please, don't pretend your 14 previous PMs saying how much you want the toys never happened. If you ask me for prices, pictures and shipping, then at least have the courtesy to respond after I send you all that information. It takes a fair amount of time and effort to do, and a simple message is all that's needed.

And lastly, when I get fed up waiting and ask if you still want them, send an answer! Ignoring my messages when I can see that you're active on the boards and posting is very insulting.

Common courtesy should be in play here.

Too true, and one thing that is made much easier in a message or on a forum rather than face to face, is the ability to just say "Thanks for your time/offer/pics but it's not for me at the moment"

Good post, Rob

Happens to me sometimes too.

Well said Rob

[cjefferys]

I heartily agree with this.

As Dan said it should be common courtesy. After all the next time you might want something the seller has he might not answer your PMs.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I have to agree. Common Courteousy is not as common as it should be. Like Common Sense I guess.

It's never right to leave people hanging because you wouldn't like it if it were done to you

This thread should be made sticky in the marketplace forum.

Well said Rob, I completely agree, how difficult is it to send a reply saying "thanks, but no thanks"?
