Instagram/Facebook Sellers: Rants and Raves

[orangeraine]

I'm a seller naman sa IG. but I don't do SFS. nagpopost lang ako ng ad kapag nabilhan ko talaga yung seller. tapos natuwa naman ako.

May nakita naman ako claiming her perfumes are US authentic pero class 4a naman talaga.

sis pano malalaman kung 4a lang. May naorderan ako na tester. Mabango naman pero medyo madaling mawala ang scent.  First time kong nagorder ng scent na yun so di ko alam ano itsura and amoy ng original.

that's nice sis. magandang practice yan kasi feedback naman yon
i like seeing feedbacks sa profile ng seller, mas nakakaenjoy bilhan. hahaha

Hisandhercollections on IG yun seller ng contact lenses is a scammer! I bought 10 lenses from her, ang sipag sipag sipag sumagot nyan nung una. Nung nagdeposit na ako sa smart money nya at nagtatanong nasan na yun orders ko, di na ako nireplyan. Tapos nagcomment ako sa FBphoto nya asking abt my orders, she deleted tapos blocked me from further commenting.

Ingat lang tayo mga sis. Isa lang ang nang bugos seller sa akin sa ig luxekiss ang name. Sa lahat ng nabilhan ko sa kanya lang talaga ako nagka bad experience. Siya pa ang galit. Nabasa ko rin ngayon marami na ang nag complain sa mga comments na november pa daw sila fully paid tapos wala ang items. Humingi sila ngayon ng refunds pero hindi na sila sinasagot. Pero active pa rin ang seller nato mag post ng mga binibenta niya. Ingat lang mga sis baka mabiktima din kayo.

^^^korek sis chichi143. as a buyer, gusto ko din yung kita ko agad feedback at products. Kesa puro SFS.

[andee how?]

Ano yung SFS?

[orangeraine]

^ako din sis may ganyang experience. ayun nga lang, di naman natin masisisi si buyer kung talagang di niya nagustuhan yung product dahil sa details. pag ganyan, isang ngiti lang katapat niyan para mawala yung inis mo. hihi.

shoutout for shoutout, sis 

[sugardrop]

SFS - flooding!!!! Di ko naman ma-unfollow kasi may mga type ako na products.

[jelliebean28]

Bakit kaya yung ibang sellers naka private pa ig nila? Nakakatamad tuloy ifollow minsan kasi diba dapat public sila para mas madali makita items etc, pati yung iba kelangan pa mag vibe para sa price, hindi ba right ng customer na makita agad yung price ng bawat tinda? #justathought

[chichi143]

eh kamusta naman yung mga shop  na ifofollow ka tapos pag trip ko naman mga products nila at nagfollow back ako eh, iunfollow ako?

hahahahaha

[jelliebean28]

Plan ko sana maghire ng part time virtual assistant para maging taga SFS ko for 3 hrs daily hanggang sa mareach ko yung target followers ko. Hindi ko na kasi maattend, offer ko lang to sa mga students who wants a summer job. Tingin nyo okay na yung minimum wage rate per hour na 53 pesos? San ko kaya ipopost yung job offer na yun? Ang tatamad kasi ng mga sisters ko...

excuse me sa mga ig sellers dito huh... i just wanna comment about "inquiring"... maraming tinatanong kaming mga buyers tapos hindi naman kami bibili... hindi ba normal yun? hindi nman yata pag nag inquire ka eh bibili na db? kung ayaw nyo pong masayang ang oras nyo kakasagot, indicate the prices of your items... kc there are times na kaming mga buyers, mag iinquire pero sa daming gusto syempre mag iisip ulit anong uunahin lalo na over na sa allowed money/budget... siguro kung nag submit na ng order form (which is sometimes sumasablay pa lalo na may mga unexpected circumstances)at nagdeposit na ng payment dun nyo siguraduhin na kukunin ang items nyo... just my two cents

Ditto. Think of it as having a physical store - there are potential customers, onlookers, and window shoppers but none of these guarantee sales. Inquiries are made because we want to make sure that it is the right product for us. If it's not, we wouldn't buy it just because a lot of questions were asked. It's like testing and swatching the products, and trying on shoes and clothes. It's part of having an online store. As long as the person inquiring isn't outright rude or nang-aasar lang, I don't see anything wrong with that. Hindi lang naman sellers ang nasasayangan ng oras and load by answering questions, same din naman sa mga potential buyers sa pagtatanong.

[orangeraine]

I do agree with both of you sis @sugardrop and sis @ur_prettyprinces. malay ba naman ng buyer kung ano talaga tinda mo. picture lang naman nakikita sa IG e. that's why they have to ask. kahit akong seller, mahilig din ako bumili sa IG. at napakadami ko ding tanong. HAHAHA. yun nga lang, kung hindi talaga maiwasang mainis or mairita, ngitian na lang.

I bought perfumes from Shomistshop and they turned out fake. T_T (She has since taken down her perfumes since I complained of them being fake. Apparently her officemates say the same.)

According to her she gets her supplies from Vanity Fragrances (This is the FB account. Instagram account is perfume_mist and perfume_drops but I can't find those anymore).

Anyway just a heads up since I saw in her FB a shot of parcel addressed to another Instagram seller.
They are advertised as US authentic testers that's why they are cheaper (much cheaper) than regular ones. To me, the ones I got are just as bad as those so called SG perfumes.

It's really better to just buy from those proven to be selling authentic ones. Also, as much as possible, I think i'll try to stick back with ebay cause u can rate the sellers, and they won't be able to delete your rating and comments. I'm an ebay seller myself and I always made sure to ship them as soon as possible! I've had an experience with another Insta seller who only told me after I deposited the payment that she can only ship the item like 3 days after because she doesn't have the stock on hand. and on the promised day, she wasnt able to coz the guy who was supposed to pick them up didnt come These are no nos in eBay but something Instagram sellers get away with. And returning and asking for a refund is such a hassle!

Anyway, lessons learned. I hope u all dont experience it.

Bought from SlimPro888 before but his supplements are not effective at all and looks repacked such as the Slim Supreme. Then the curvy juice is double the price sold at 300 instead of the usual 120-150 from other sellers. He doesn't really give much support either, tipid sumagot. Okay lang pero I didn't repurchase after reading some negative feedback about the products as well.

Pa-pm naman sissies authentic seller ng mac lippies. Also, binubuksan ba nila yung makeups when the stocks arrive halimbawa? Concerned lang ako sa shelf life kasi syempre hindi na accurate kung ibabase sa opened jar logo. E hindi naman natin alam kung kelan dumating sa kanila yun. TIA!

[orangeraine]

^ sis pwede mo naman siguro itanong sa seller kung kailan niya nareceive yung item. lalo kung trusted naman.
