BOGUS BUYERS

[dulcette]

ayy may bago akong kwento this girl sent an order form then kept messaging us. ito yung convo namin:


9:09pm Patricia

 Me

Patricia

Me

 Patricia

 Me

 Patricia

Me

Patricia

 Me

 Patricia
U.P.

 Me

 Patricia
sorry hndi ko alam eh

She vanished after that and di na nagbayad.

pero hanggang ngayon tawa pa rin kami ng tawa sa sagot niyang "UP" nung tinanong namin kung anong campus ng UP. LOL

Another case of a "buyer" backing out and seriously bored with her life.

[asongforyou]

Sa experience ko, yung mga buyers na dami tanong at dami hinihingi (pictures na kailangan nakaangat pa ang lipstick ng todo), hindi bibili yun. Kasi yung mga seryoso talaga at gustong bumili, bayad agad, wala na tanong, tawad at iba pa. Kaya ako, pag daming tanong, dinededma ko na lang. Kakainis e. Lalo na yung mega-tawad. Kasi ako pag nag inquire, usually seryoso ako at hindi lang for the sake na magtanong at mangulit. I am assuming na pag tingin ka ng tingin sa Beauty Bazaar, ang gusto mo mamili. At eto ang isang pet peeve ko, magte text ng 1:30 am para itanong, "Sis, available pa ba ang Candy Yum Yum?"

[FOURever]

^baka yun lang free time nya sis? Kaya lang nakakaistorbo nga sa tulog.. Replyan mo na lang kinaumagahan.. Hehe

[lordknight_aiz.18]

hehe. may buyer naman ako. sobrang kulit. pagkatext niya sakin, after 5 seconds may kasunod agad na message na "Pls Reply Asap" na all caps. tapos miscol ng miscol. kaloka.  parang emergency. tapos di naman pala bibilin agad. 

[Antigone]

May nagreserve ng item ko. Sabi ok lang daw ba na bayaran after ilang days kasi asa work siya and di siya makakauwi. Pumayag naman ako. Tapos after a few days, magdedeposit na daw siya. Never heard from her since.

Another one reserved the same item. Texted me. Asked if may box. I said walang box. She said she'd get money and pay later. Never heard from her too.

Buti na lang di ako atat makabenta. Pero sana next time, kung di bibili, wag na magreserve di ba?

[beautywhite]

 Haay,madaming ganyan na ''buyer'',ask ng ask. Kesyo out of town ,yung iba di na nakahabol sa bank samantalang ang text ay 1 minute na lang bago magsara ang bank.''Sis,di na nakahabol sa bank'',then wala na at di na reply.
Mga joy reservers nga naman ang mas madaming tanong . Sa una very sure at mag set pa ng date.

Kasi yung mga seryoso talaga at gustong bumili, bayad agad, wala na tanong, tawad at iba pa. Kaya ako, pag daming tanong, dinededma ko na lang. Kakainis e. Lalo na yung mega-tawad.

totoo yan sis, proven ko na yan..kapag yung for example, ang usapan namin is through sms and naka-8-10 exchanged messages na kayo, ubusin lang niya load mo, 90%  hindi yan bibili (yung 10% naman, may mga buyer lang na madaming tanong but in the end buy naman lalo na kapag first timer to buy online or bagets pa lang yung client )

usually 3-5 exchanged messages, eto yung sure buyer:
1st-2nd message - inquiry or order na kaagad
3rd-4th message - payment sent
5th message - got her items na

about doon sa natawad, may naencounter na din ako na naka-promo na nga yung items, hihirit pa din ng discount..OMG, saan ka naman nakakita na promo na nag-increase ka ng price kaya ka natawad. bale nangyayari parang nambabarat ka ng sale/discounted items, kahit sa mga mall walang ganyan and as if naman ang mga items mo, parang nakabalandra lang sa bangketa para baratin ka ng sobra sobra sarap tuloy magpauso ng album na aside sa Bogus Buyers, OVER KUNG MAKATAWAD BUYERS album

Buti na lang ang mga cp ko, naka-filter yung calls. minsan may nakikita ako na reject call pag gising ko sa morning, yung time mga 12 midnight, at may text na "hm yung ...?", kaloka!

nakakainis kung minsan but kapag kinukuwento mo na, natatawa ka na lang.

And this forum will never run out of Irresponsible Buyers pala talaga...

I have this semi-newbie buyer who reserved something from my list last weekend, she promised to pay Sunday, again, hindi ako ang nag-set ng date ng payment nito ha. I never heard anything from her the whole day nung Linggo.

So this morning, at around 1am, I texted her to ask for confirmation if she's still getting the item, I know its kinda off to text her that late but then thats the only time I had a chance to review my pending sales kasi.

She never replied. I followed up at around 10am kanina saying Id appreciate it much if she'd send a reply to confirm whether she's going to push thru with the transaction or not. She never replied. 

And this afternoon, i texted her, telling her Id publish her details on this thread if she fails to reply within the day, Voila! She replied rightaway (as in less than 5mins after i texted).

I told her she should be more responsible next time, especially that she was the one who set the date of payment, she said she was in the province yesterday and she's in school today, that I should give her until tomorrow to place payment.

She even mentioned she replied to me at 3am telling me she wasnt able to place payment kahapon. -- Never received any reply from her and Hello, ano to, pampalubag loob? Arent buyers supposed to inform the seller AHEAD OF TIME that they wont be able to place payment ontime?

Napapailing nalang ako. Iba na ang culture ng buyers talaga ngayon.

May isa pa akong story na dapat ishare here eh, pero later nalang. haha!

[cherrhys]

^I hope you won't mind but this is just a friendly advise...   It's better siguro to set a definite days of reservation and avoid sending out your item unless you have already received payment.  Now if after an agreed date, buyer simply "disappears" then put up your item for sale again.  Wala ng tanong tanong or follow-up (sayang time at load/text).  Di naman pwedeng magreklamo si buyer coz wala namang nawala sa kanya and same goes to you at minus pa ng sakit ng ulo on your part.  But if mabait ka talaga, text the buyer as a notice lang na since di na siya nagparamdam you will put the item back for sale na lang ulit.

This has been the most effective for me after ko makaencounter ng mga nakakalokang buyers before.  I really don't need the headache and don't have the time to make follow-ups.  Kasi, as some of the GTalkers have posted, if gusto talaga nila yung item wala nang dalawang salita yan for sure magbabayad yun agad.  Therefore if di na nagparamdam eh di ayaw na malamng yung item.

[babyjapnurse01]

^ may naka-set na ko actually na reservation period, max is 3days, but the buyer has the freedom to choose when she wants to send the payment sa certain period na yun, what I do kasi, whenever may nagrereserve, nagpprepare na ko ng waybill kaagad kaya i ask for their details upon reservation, that somehow cuts down the chances of having joy reservers eh kasi may details ka nang hawak (unless lang they send me fake shipping details ha)

sakin naman, i wouldnt mind texting for updates, may limit din naman ako, after 3 texts tapos no response, buyer automatically qualifies to be in my blacklist and on this thread, and item goes back to my list of for sale items.

I dont really send out items without payment, i do that once in a while for buyers na sobrang pinagkakatiwalaan ko na (bilang ko sa kamay 'to hehe!)

there are some instances din kasi na serious buyers fail to update ahead of time as well, kaya i still excercise a little courtesy to ask kung go pa ba or cancel na before putting the item back on sale again.

 

[moonstar_004]

^ako din, i have piling-pili na buyers na ok lang ma-send ko in advance the item, kasi i'm sure they'll pay when they say they will pay. gusto ko rin kasi ma-receive agad ng buyer the item.

[runawaywithyou]

Ako din pinadadala ko yung items sa mga trusted buyers ko lang.  Pero yung tipong nakakadalawang transactions pa lang, hindi pwede   

[jaymilu_620]

nakakatawang nakakapanlumong experience ko i was accuse of being bogus buyer by a bogus seller. saklap di ba,25k ang nawala sa akin and sa iba ang biktima ng scammer na to pero siya pa ang galit at gumagawa ng kwento,kaya sis do not be deceived by prmose for buy1 take 1 gadgets or iphone4 na 25k lang,kung ayaw niyo matulad sa akin,up to now nakakpanlulumo kasi nakita ko sa site niya na yung mga buyers niya ay ginawa niyang bogus,siya pa nagmumurang siniraan siya na wala naman siyang any proof of transaction na ginwa dinadaan sa paninindak at ako nga threat niya ikakalat pics ko at binabrand na bogus kapal,sana times 1000 ang karma sa kanya

[babyjapnurse01]

how do you guys deal with buyers na super delayed magbayad pero mamadaliin at kukulitin ka sa shipping?

[iampennylane]

^i just text them pag naship na yung items nila. Dedma sa pangungulit. Madaming ganyan noh? Imbyerna

[auane]

^^ignore it sis..tama din si sis iampennylane, or just text them the tracking no, plus the transit time

yung iba nga, hindi pa bayad, ask kaagad kelan daw dadating items nila

[dulcette]

may buyer ako who kept on calling me kanina, IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM, in the middle of the street, mali daw kasi yung account number na binigay ko. pero i was confident na tama yun since it's an automated message na sinesend sa winning bidder in ebay, so i kept my stand na mali lang kopya nya or something.

ayun, i checked, and tama nga yung number, dami pang echos ni ateh eh. ayaw lang naman talaga magbayad kasi hindi nagbabasa ng item details. sabing wala akong gcash eh. chos.

kahigh blood lang yung anlinaw linaw ng payment methods ko biglang ipipilit na gcash nalang bayad then magiimbento pa ng dahilan. ohwell.

[sugardrop]

yung iba nga, hindi pa bayad, ask kaagad kelan daw dadating items nila

TRUE! Sakit sa bangs ng ganyang buyer.

[jaymilu_620]

I'm so sad kasi patuloy pa din nanloloko yung bogus seller na yun.meaning wala siyang takot
