He just told me I'm not worth his time since I only buy $5 coins.....

That was nice of him to say...

Thanks for the a****le alert.

The sad part is it was a $12 coin.

And I had bought other items from him under my old Ebay handle.

Oh well the scum rises to the top.

I've never understood the business philosophy that says a $5 buyer isn't a valuable customer. While a $5 sale doesn't seem like much, imagine if that customer spent $5 per week. Then, because of excellent treatment, he spreads the word, new customers come in who also spend $5 per week.

Than let's say that, over the course of a year, you add just one of these new customers per week. The following year, you have 52 new customers who will spend $260 each. It adds up very quickly, and it all starts with that one little guy that you treated right.

not that I agree with treating any customer like this...but I do know that most dealers feel that if a sale is under $20 on ebay it is not worth the time to do it....again I do not agree just passing on thoughts....

Note: It wasn't an Ebay transaction.

I just e-mailed him and asked if he was selling anything I needed.

His reply was "I don't have time you only bought $5 last time"

His reply was "I don't have time you only bought $5 last time"

Customer bases are grown when a seller/vendor treats the customer with respect that is equal among all types of customers. Little purchases often lead to larger purchases, or more frequent purchases.

Even doing a deal or two that loses a little money goes a long way to establishing a base. Again, respect and equal treatment is the key.

If this person doesn't want your business, then don't deal with them. There are others out there who understand customer service who will seve you much better down the road.

Thanks for sharing the name with us.

Here is his reply to me telling him it's not good to turn down business

"You did not buy $5 tokens, you bought a $5 token! This was after I spent
over 30 min. going through my SE KS tokens for you & now, you want me to do
it again? "

Fool doesn't even know I spent $12. Also he only gave me a list of about 10 tokens.

Also, real funny how it's not worth it for a "$5" coin but he has many listings that are in that range it had to take him 10-20mins/listing to do that.

Gotta remember, he's selling $5 coins for a reason......can't expect him to act like an MBA in marketing.
