Not really. Just thought you all would enjoy the messages I have been getting and it only ended in one sale.

At about the same time I started getting ebay messages from two people for the same item, one bulk pound of SIM cards. Eventually I asked buyer #1 if he was also #2 and then his messages stopped. I do know they both are from TX and have zero feedback. total of 24 messages over just the last few days. Eventually #2 did buy and pay. I just wonder what the future holds in store? here are the cut and paste messages I got, for your amusement.

Good luck with the sale. Hope it all goes well. Those messages just scream scam to me.

The English translation is "Hi, I'd like to waste a whole bunch of your time on an item you make very little money on." I get them on craigslist more than eBay, very annoying!

 

[jerseyben]

Yea I would have just ignored every single message. Very annoying and I hope it works out for you.

 

[diggummup]

Yeah, I know you didn't send him your bank account number did ya yo? lol

 

[DeepseekerADS]

Yeah, I know you didn't send him your bank account number did ya yo? lol

Me either, no way in the world I would give out my bank account number, ESPECIALLY in this particular case.

Dealing with the ludicrous emails from customers is the hardest part of selling on eBay or Craigslist. Sometimes I actually look forward to reading the nonsense people send. I have been selling online for the past decade and I almost now wish I had cut and pasted a file for all the silly questions I have received over the years.

So how many of those received replies?

I must be too nice of a guy (or i get tired of ebay telling my i have unanswered messages) most did get repiles. It ended in one sale and he should be getting that package pretty soon.

I wounder what slew of messages will happen today?
