I got a message from a âcustomerâ asking: âI just redid my office and is this ok for sensitive skin?!â with a link to my listing for elastic beaded rings.
I replied: âyup! i actually wear them myself and iâve never had any problems with them. thereâs no metal either, just elastic string and plastic beads.â
Then they said: âimpulse bought this! couldnt resist any longer. thxâ
And then they sent an official-looking image with a QR code, which said: âAlmost there! New purchase pending. A buyer has placed an order in your shop. To finalize the sale, seller confirmation is needed from your end. Please open the link below on your PC to review and complete the order process.â followed by my username.
This isnât a thing, and NEVER has been. And if it was, it would be on the order page, not as an image sent by the customer. Fuck you man, I thought I had a sale :(( I shouldâve known when they asked a question that obviously didnât apply to my item. If they even looked at the images, theyâd know there wasnât any metal in the rings and wouldnât need to ask.
