Ebay messages
Does it matter if I do not reply to an Ebay message? Is there a 'no response required' button that I am missing?
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Think it's on the MANAGE ACTIVE LISTINGS page. Click the dropdown list "MARK AS ANSWERED".
Can't check thoroughly as I'm in a rush, but it's deffo there somewhere.
Well I never have, and nothing bad has happened. Haven't even seen it. eBay is not quite like the evil empire, yet, penalising you for everything it can think of.
I wonder if the asker gets a notification when it's marked as answered.
I had answered the customer's first message. I didn't want or need to respond to the second message.
I get lots of 'sorry it's not what I'm looking for but thanks for taking the time to check' messages.
Are sellers always supposed to have the last word?
Why would I be interested in a different sized pair of boots?
Maybe they could also include a link to 8 pairs of thick socks so I could pad out my feet to the size 12s they're suggesting.
Strange one - had a query on ebay for a scarce video I have for sale - can find no others on net - but price only £19.99.
Person asking:
'can you tell me if this item is recorded delivery and does it
come with a tracking number or is it sent by normal delivery '
My response was that I would gladly send recorded if that is what they would like to ensure delivery.
This was about 3 weeks ago, and they have not ordered it - do I detect a possible claim of INR was being 'tested', or am I just cynical ?
I often get queries with no follow up. I'd just make a note in case they do eventually buy it.
Possibly someone who has been ripped off by the megasellers in the past.
Wot Jim says - I often get requests for quite detailed info about products too - especially the rare stuff - but no sale follows.
Annoying but not suspicious. (IMHO)
I think you are just being cynical.
(and I don't think it is strange for people to ask questions before buying either - £20 is a lot for some people).
I get this a lot too. Although I have to say that it's almost invariably a sign that they won't buy. I used to get this with decorating, just the same: the more questions and requests for references the less chance they'd order. The only place I don't get it, unfortunately, is with the Deaths, where some folk (not many fortunately) seem prepared to spend good money for the pleasure of leaving one or two star reviews -- for the whole bally series! Why?? If they don't like them, why suffer?
