Items listed in multiple online listings. - Wed Jan 07 2015 04:51 PM
I'm unsure why sellers list single items in multiple venues. Different situation, if you have multiples of the same item and can ensure that everyone who makes a purchase will receive one.
As a business owner who places an emphasis on customer satisfaction. I can't think of any reason that can justify the possibility of inflicting this sort of disappointment upon a potential buyer who makes a purchase in good faith. Only to be told by the seller that it is sold; because the seller listed an item in multiple venues.
Most sellers would want to safeguard themselves and their buyers from this sort of situation rather then create it. Why would a seller; especially, those that supplement their livelihood or at the very least their ability to collect, risk biting the hand that feeds them???
But, then again I realize to some people a quick sale can be more important then the possible chance of offending others. I have never had to to put my desperation to sell an item before the satisfaction of my potential buyers. I guess every seller has their on finances or lack of to consider.
