Hmm... just a post to find out from friends, buyers and sellers, other blogshop owners on sales antics encountered.
What are the funny encounters you experienced with buyers or sellers? Maybe not funny, but maybe undesirable? Or you have wonderful experiences? I just thought of sharing mine!
Encounter one -
This was related to me by a fellow blogshop owner. I was told that there was this particular customer named Ms XXXXXX whom liked to bargain. Normal bargaining I would understand, but not those kind that makes you lose faith in your own communication skills. Well anyway, this blogshop owner was offered a toy by Ms XXXXXX for like maybe $30, only to find out that Ms XXXXXX was trying to bargain and buy the same toy from ANOTHER blogshop for say $20? What a bummer... Don't people know that it is a very small circle here? Catching your own toy for $1 and selling for $30 is understandable as it's luck as well... but.... hmm.... Well some could argue that if she manages to pull it through, it's her luck as well!!!
Encounter two -
I met a buyer last weekend. Well, we arranged to meet at Dhoby Gaut Mrt station. I knocked off early and went walking around whilst waiting... She came late, well, not that late actually since I also had to wait for another blogshop owner who was really late! (Not that it bothers me too much as it was a Friday after all and I had no life.) When I finally met her, she was truly apologetic. Kept saying sorry, and even gave me a bag of cookies! I kept rejecting but she kept pushing the bag to me... Well, I guess I couldn't refuse a nice bag of choc chip cookies. :) Thanks to the buyer whom shall remain as Ms XXXXX, you know who you are! And also to the blogshop owner who swapped toys with me! :)
You there! Have any interesting experiences to share? Come on! Leave them in the post comments!

Juz wanna share my encounter with this buyer... She's staying somewhere in the western area and she ordered a lot of items from me in Sept. But then ask me to reserve till Oct... Sigh! I was hesitating but she kept on emailing and smsing me... So I obliged. Wrong Move!!! In the process, she kept on changing her orders and till today, never purchase anythg from me. So, I gave up on her and cancel all her reserved items. I am not angry but I turn down a few potential buyers becaused of her. I've been avoiding her and as i'm writing this, she texted me... Arrrgh!! What to do with her??? I don't wanna be mean but I have no time to deal with this buyer... ???
ohhhh some R something primary school kid right?
hahahaha
dun need to waste time on her lah
hahahaha
Seriously I think we as blogshop owners should actively feedback about such incidents to save ourselves precious time and resources. I have had my fair share of reserving items only to learn that the buyer had bought from others. There were also so many others who reserved and went missing. We all would like to keep customer happy but with such bad experiences, how to blame us for not wanting to reserve? Sigh... Any bright sparks with an idea for sellers to track blacklisted buyers? We should not embarass them though... so maybe the information should be privy to our group.
well here's my story..
erm,ya a primary school ger..
firstly,she sms mi to reserve alot of items from mi..den,keep asking for discount and said she is serious in buying..den ask mi to help her buy sumthin from another blogspot..( LUCK I DIDNT)den ask mi to go down to her school to meet her!! as i stated on my blog that STRICTLY no meet-up as i have to stay at my shop.. den i told her,u go shopping aso nid to go down de mah.den she says ok,ask mi to reserve for her.. in a single day,sms mi 3TIMES to comfirm her order( same question).. den ask mi wads my blog,den keep changing order.. den keep sms mi asking WADS MY BLOG AND WAD SHE ORDER!!.. till now,every now and den she will still sms mi to ask mi wads my blog and wad she order from mi!!!.. everytime i log into msn,i have to appear OFFLINE because of HER!! keep askin this and that,in the end buy nothing..i heard from another blog owner that she aso reserve alot thing from her aso..keep giving excuses lor..can u imagine someone keep asking u wads ur blog and ask u to repeat order every few days?? OMG.. her handphone 9***9139 PLEASE!! SELLERS PLEASE BEWARE OF HER.. DNT WASTE UR TIME ON HER!!.. i had a veri bad experience lor.. sian..

Hey come on! I am sure you guys / gals have more juicy experiences???? Must share so that we all learn...
Muahahahaha!!! Let me share my juicy story...I encountered BOTH OF the persons that u all are talking about...they really irritates me..making me mad...Let me 1st start with UFO Addict's encounter 1..this person actualy has a blogshop lor..she simply buys things from 1 person then mark up the price to sell another person..then hor..she will keep changing her prices,said she sms wrong..then she will say,u buy more I give u discount...then she will change again..when u are meeting her for the items,the buyer is threatened not to be late,as she will CHARGE ACCORDINGLY FOR EVERY MINUTE THAT THE BUYER IS LATE!! wHAT UNREASONABLE REQUEST!!She keeps sms the buyer,ask the buyer to buy this and that..then she will CHARGE DELIVERY FEE..YOU HAVE TO PAY HER CAB FEE LOR...LOL...If I go her home to collect the item,isit she will pay me cab fee?haha..this gal is an ITE gal..who lives in the west..if u buy something from her,she will message u more than 30 times a day to ask u transfer the $$..if u dun do so,she will scold u rudely...she will also call u and then ring a few times and hang up..please lor..she thinks that I am so free like her?I also have things and job to do lor..she expects u to reply every sms fast..when you tell her politely that u do not want certain things,she will sms and ask the same question again..I just have been too nice to her liao..now she still always sms and haress me..DO NOT EVER THINK THAT SHE WILL STOP AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN IN TO HER ONCE,she will be more agressive..
2nd incident..this gal also reserved a lot of things from me..she keep asking what are her orders,when to meet,what time etc,saying that she is too young etc..then for example she reserved 5 items from u,she will always say'huh?so expensive ah?Why?Can give discount?'When everything is dealed again,she will defer and defer the meeting date then ask for discount again..I duno retype what she has reserved how many times to her liao..I take it into account that she is young..so I agreed to meet her at such a far place..but now then I realised she does that not only to me!
yaya,i agree with poohlover.actuali the 2 i encounter too.jus tat at least the J**mine did place a deposit of $3.after mia.but erm..$3 LEI!!.. as if its alot lidat lor,den aso sms mi ask mi who m i..claiming she lost her handphone..erm,den ask how much her pending payment..omg..
and ya lor,we gave in to the n*** cause she kip saying she veri young lei..n etc.. hais.. think she is too free and out to play us out lor..walau,wad she treated us for??? we r not tat free de lei..hais..
Haha i played her out instead lol... i told her i got no time to entertain her and in the end she kept calling and smsing me for 2 days but i totally ignored her. then she finally gave up hahaha
perhaps we should open up a blog to discuss all these lol
Hey guys! I guess a lot of us know who this N*** girl from R****** Pri Sch. Juz ignore her lar... She is still young and trying our patience. If she sms, I'll ignore. If she calls, I ask her to place her order again thru email. Then, I go home and delete her email. As simple as that. But i must say, enough is enough... now she has a new tactic. She will not call u using her hp. And you will "accidentally" take her call. I wanted so badly to tell her off when she calls. But then again i dun wanna be mean. She is after all a little girl. But she is also a pain in the b***!!!
Hey cyrusclops, i agree wif u...
i am done with the new url!!! http://blacklistedcustomers.blogspot.com
go there and tell me your blogger email then i add u into the list of authors ba!! hahaa
using her home number to call is not a new tatic lol
Ya,agree with stitch fan,we often give in as n*** is young..but maybe she is just making use of our kindness..glad that the blacklisted page is up..actually we are just trying to sell our stuffs here,we do not earn much as well..with this webpage up,we will actually save a lot of time and effort on people who are trying to play us out..
Seems like there were many encounters from different blogshop owners on certain undesirable personalities from what I am hearing!
haha. i got that n*** girl too! she orders kawakiyo pens from me! and alot of them! I'm glad that i read this before i made them. I think i'll just cancel her order since i've to time to make them too!
Hmm... do you guys and gals think that we should be specific now? Coz some other may not know exactly who are referring too! LOL... I got bombarded again... :(
Hi i am a new blog owner and really helpless to what i had encountered. I got my first enquiry from someone name E...nne and no email and address etc just said she is interested in getting some items from me and left me her hp no. As this is the first enquiry i got, i am very excited, so i sms here to ask what are the items she is keen. She replied the pooh cushion (thought she wanted to get maybe 2 or 3 items as she said some items), but i am ok with it so i asked her how and where she wants to collect it. She replied saying if i can do exchange. I told her no but she keep insisting saying she can trade 5 plush toys for my pooh cushion but i already told her i don't want. (by then i had already exchange more than 10 sms with her telling her i don't want), in the end, i gave in, telling her if she got new boron scrump later, i will exchange with her then. Finally she stop sms me but must relief is short as a few hours later she sms me again saying she got the scrump (but from what i know, it has not been released yet) so i asked if it is the big or small one. She replied asking me if i want the full set, i told her i am not keen in the small ones but prefer the big ones but thinking she really want the pooh cushion so badly, i gave in saying i will exchange with her small boron pooh and scrump then and ask her where she want to meet up to exchange. She insisted by mail only and asked why must meet up, i told her i must see items condition before i do exchange or no deal. The next replied i got from her, she totally stirred clear from the exc, she start promoting her pooh aeroplane telling me it is very nice and i must get it (5 sms). By then i knew i am in for serious trouble with this lady as she totally refused to accept my replied sms telling her i don't want and by then it is already near midnight. The next morning i saw 3 more sms from her saying she has one pooh cow plush and if i take it together with the aeroplane she will offer me both at $30.00 and the next sms is what time i am going to meet her to collect the items! My final and firm sms to her is that i only collect scrump, don't want pooh so pls stop asking. After that no more sms from her then. It is scary knowing she can check on my blog and i don't know where she is from.. but by accident, i found out she is also a new blog owner, i felt better knowing who she is now and will never want to deal with her again..
