Selling on Oople
Has anyone else experienced a lot of time wasters on oople? So many people enquire about buying and even agree on a price but no payment is sent and it all goes quiet?
I think its really rude that people do this. At least people can message and say they have changed their minds. I'm not going to name and shame but speaking to others there are some repeat offenders.

Agreed
Hi Dave,
I have to say I agree with you on this. I too have experienced this many times myself. If people change their minds fair enough but at least have the courtesy to let the seller know so that he / she can sell their item to someone else. TW

What really annoys me is the way people delete the price on an item after it sold. If you have something to sell, or want to buy something, and want an indication of the price to offer it at or what someone bought or sold it for, then you could use a search to research prices. This alone puts me off listing anything to sell really. I've always had a decent experience buying, and selling the few times I've bothered to sell. I always try to know (of) or speak to someone who knows them prior to agreeing a sale, but generally it's been good for me. Not listed anything for sale myself for a while though, I guess because keeping stuff is easier than dealing with potential time wasters?

Timewasters
I have experienced this multiple times, usually selling buggies. Yes yes, I want want. Listed as sold. Hi mate ready to send but still waiting for your paypal payment. Then a few days later, 'oh sorry I bought one off a mate/new/someone else' or nothing at all. It's been even been more annoying when I have then told other people who have enquired, sorry its sold. Then a week later messaging them hoping I can still sell my buggy they say sorry found another. When that happens its even worse. So yes its basically a waste of time and damn rude.
I have found best way is to say paypal me now. Then mark as sold etc. No payment it stays for sale. I guess there will be tyrekickers in all scales of cars!

I guess we could start charging to put For Sale Adverts up on oOple. A small charge might help us pay for the server costs and tech help we get. It would also keep the messers from upsetting people if we charge to put an advert on the For Sale section. Let me think about it...........

Yes, many times, particularly by people posting wanted adverts. I generally tend to just ignore those now as there are a high % of tyre kickers amongst that group. I used to hold items for days/weeks but after numerous let downs, i just tell the interested parties that i will hold until a certan time but then i will move it on. Sifts the wheat from the chaff easily. Everyone knows where they stand and it saves getting messed around. Despite the above, the oOple selling experience has been largely perfect.
