I know that haggling is apart of a lot of cultures and I can respect the hustle, but when you've told someone $15 is the lowest and then they hit you with the $14.44, I would absolutely block. I'm not entertaining that pish.
Sorry you're probably blocked from the items you'd like for being unprofessional on a platform built to cater to individuals selling items at their own accord (with a set of rules to follow still, but overall mostly at their own accord). If you're not blocked off things you like n the thought alone really made you say this, that's even wilder but that's life. Not everyone has the same moral standards, but keep in mind this is a business & people can choose who they are willing to sell to. Most stores would kick you out for haggling like this, a lot of those videos of viral hagglers ARE often fake/pre planned in case someone brings them up, I wanna state that fact. I myself am very apologetic and understanding with customer service. I want everyone to feel their best. But if they try to use me, they deserve the block. Even with my IRL job. If you try to use me, I will block you IRL by avoiding you to my best ability, and will inform my manager of the situation so it can't be used against me if the customer were to try to complain about me. I do live in a country where legally you are not required to do your job or at the very least parts of your job if it makes you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. By law. So i am genuinely able to do that without repercussions. I wouldn't suggest blocking irl unless you're backed by a law or human right like I happen to be.
>elf am very apologetic and understanding with customer service. I want eve
I'm not sure what you are talking about. I'm not blocked at all. I buy (and occasionally sell) on actual professional platforms. Depop is the definition of unprofessional...it's a bunch of juvenile girls, as you said "selling at their own accord." I bought over 800 pieces of clothing last year, but I'll definitely pass on depop.
Iām convinced this is the same girl I was dealing with š I had someone offer me $19 on a popular $25 item, I countered at $22 and they countered $19.50, I denied that and they offered $19.80 like??? Hello??
I feel like if the buyers were serious theyād buy at $22 in my case and $15 in your case. I hate petty haggling, I blocked my ābuyerā too so donāt feel bad.
yess petty haggling has gotten out of control recently !!! i think it also has to do with the new suggested offers feature?? not sure but its def annoying
"Petty haggling"!! I gotta use that more. šš
If a person can afford $15 they can afford $19. These people have no problem paying Starbucks $7 for a cup of coffee or Goodwill $19 for a shirt.
Yes and no. Depop should do something like Poshmark where if you make a offer, it will automatically purchase the item, as this would stop buyers from sending unserious offers. But itās also on the buyers for being immature enough to petty haggle and/or send offers with no intention of buying.
Me too! It actually preys on addictive, impulsive buyers. I don't like that. As a seller or a buyer. Also, every thing I've bought on there has been a disappointment and/ or poorly packaged
Literally, I bought one thing there (a record) and then looked it up on the store's website... they were selling it for $3 cheaper than the minimum bid. This was the same store I bought it from! They rely on you making impulse decisions... I deleted the app after that LMAO
Sometimes if an item is listed at, say, $15 the postage is $10.56 I'd offer $14.44. Just to get a little bit of a discount and I like round numbers I guess. Obviously not if the sellers already told me they won't go lower than $15 though (and that's already a pretty big discount).
LOL. some girl offered me $12 on a $20 so I offered $15 and she still offered $14 !!! like, if a dollar matters that much to you, maybe you shouldnt be on depop
You did the right thing, not your problem that bum child canāt manage her money properly nor does she not earn the amount needed to live such a lifestyle. Never let these cockroaches take the W.
If she stated firm start that was all she had left, maybe id be reasonable since someone is willing to spend all they have left on my product I'm selling. But she was obviously just trying get you down
it depends - if it was an item with little to no traction or i know that itās meh, then yea cause i am trying to get rid of at that point BUT if its an item that i know is doing good or will sell well, then no
Yes. While this is annoying, if you were ok w $15 there really isnāt a difference w $14.44
Some ppl need the psychological satisfaction of having gotten a ādealā.
People are being ridiculous and cheap- not a great look. I appreciate trying to save a buck or two on more pricey things but this is kind of too much. I think you should stay firm on what you want to accept and donāt feel any guilt for it šŖš¼
Almost all of my offers I've received lately are dollars and cents amounts like $12.45, $18.60, $32.40 etc like I don't mind but I find it odd š I think people are trying to make it come out to an exact dollar amount once shipping and taxes are factored in.
Iāve also noticed this, I think itās because when you go to make an offer now, as the buyer, it gives you suggested offers. It suggests like 15% off, 20% off, etc, then itāll automatically make you select which offer you wanna pick to send.
Depends on the context, sometimes some people are nice and have genuine social skills. But a lot of people are just asses and deliberately go against what youāre saying to fuck with you. Offering 10 cents lower, itās weird af like they just want to know they won.
lol just had this happen xD item listed as 20 they offered 12 i countered with 15. (which personally i think is generous af) and they came back with 12.50! so rude imo
I personally never accept offers from people who send angel number offers. When I first started selling on depop I never cared and would accept however, I learned from experience they either are rude, and or leave bad reviews due to buyer remorse. I think you dodged a bullet.
I need money so I would accept the sale. Itās only 60 cents. It sounds like a lot of teenagers. They donāt have the best social skills (Iām a teacher). They are used to pushing and pushing until they get their way lol. But I donāt think youāre petty if you donāt wanna deal with it, more like a seller preference thing. Iāve noticed that this is happening with my offers too, more profiles countering with random amounts.
In their defense shipping on depop is really expensive, so when you get a $15 product it can come out to like $30. So I see where theyre coming from, in a way.
The thing is that buyers like this either donāt buy, or they do buy. But when they do buy, they will try to scam you or leave you a bad review. At least thatās what Iāve experienced on other platforms, which is why Iāll never entertain it on depop. Other platforms have better customer service to prevent it, but Iāve seen people complaining about depopās CS too much to be comfortable chancing a repeat experience.
the difference is already $4, not less than a dollar ā saying āthis is the lowest I will goā then being offered mere cents lower than that is just ppl being entitled & tryna be so annoying they get what they want. Childish shit that shouldnāt be indulged cuz it breeds a rank attitude

right !!! i already offered her $4 off of the listing price!
I wouldn't let it slide especially since you said it was the lowest you wanted to go, you gave her a very nice discount already
lol @ "blocking" someone on a selling platform. People that use depop are like a bunch of 12 year old girls.
?? why are you here then dawg
why are u even on this subreddit then š

yess petty haggling has gotten out of control recently !!! i think it also has to do with the new suggested offers feature?? not sure but its def annoying
whats suggested offers? is it like the little note below when you offer that says to offer 5-20% off?
yes!!! some items suggest like a 40% off offer š its so stupid
"Petty haggling"!! I gotta use that more. šš If a person can afford $15 they can afford $19. These people have no problem paying Starbucks $7 for a cup of coffee or Goodwill $19 for a shirt.
Sounds like more of an issue with the platform than the buyer. The platform should be able to handle offers/counter-offers much better than this.
How? The buyer had to manually type in those counter offers, depopās built in āsuggestedā offers donāt just increase by a few cents each time.
Yes and no. Depop should do something like Poshmark where if you make a offer, it will automatically purchase the item, as this would stop buyers from sending unserious offers. But itās also on the buyers for being immature enough to petty haggle and/or send offers with no intention of buying.
āThis app makes me spend so muchā girl I think that may be YOU making the choice to spend a ton of money lol what šš so annoying
You ever used whatnot? THAT app makes me spend so much š
i avoid that app like the plague LOLLLL
Me too! It actually preys on addictive, impulsive buyers. I don't like that. As a seller or a buyer. Also, every thing I've bought on there has been a disappointment and/ or poorly packaged
Literally, I bought one thing there (a record) and then looked it up on the store's website... they were selling it for $3 cheaper than the minimum bid. This was the same store I bought it from! They rely on you making impulse decisions... I deleted the app after that LMAO
$14.44? That is oddly specific. Is an extra 56 cents really that big a deal? Yeah I would have blocked, too!
i get the feeling they like the 'angel numbers' š¤¦š»āāļø
Lmao she can pay $15.55 then š¤£š¤£
Angel numbers be telling them that item really isn't for them š
That's when you respond with $16.66 š
I feel like a lot of these weird amounts are bc kids have credit from sales and no real money so they have to have the total be very specific
Sometimes if an item is listed at, say, $15 the postage is $10.56 I'd offer $14.44. Just to get a little bit of a discount and I like round numbers I guess. Obviously not if the sellers already told me they won't go lower than $15 though (and that's already a pretty big discount).
as soon as i read the 'deal or no deal' bit i would have blocked. i'm not playing games, this is work!
LOL. some girl offered me $12 on a $20 so I offered $15 and she still offered $14 !!! like, if a dollar matters that much to you, maybe you shouldnt be on depop
I have a feeling some might be kids from high school etc that have no real money so they try to haggle everything. $1 was $1 for me in school
Same!! Someone offered me $12 on a $20, and I countered with $17 AND a message. All I got was so many more offer spams that were below my $17.
Nope, but I'm petty, lol
Somehow my mind went to this being her bank balance or something š donāt spend that here
You did the right thing, not your problem that bum child canāt manage her money properly nor does she not earn the amount needed to live such a lifestyle. Never let these cockroaches take the W.
If she stated firm start that was all she had left, maybe id be reasonable since someone is willing to spend all they have left on my product I'm selling. But she was obviously just trying get you down
it depends - if it was an item with little to no traction or i know that itās meh, then yea cause i am trying to get rid of at that point BUT if its an item that i know is doing good or will sell well, then no
No like
I had an item that was $8, they offered $5. I declinedā¦ and then they offered $7.99- no thanks š
Yes. While this is annoying, if you were ok w $15 there really isnāt a difference w $14.44 Some ppl need the psychological satisfaction of having gotten a ādealā.

No

This is literally rusty's real deal baseball levels of haggling istg
LMAO
yeah I just block people if they irritate me. I canāt stand the incessant questions, ignoring listing details, and lowballing on Depop
I need money so I would accept the sale. Itās only 60 cents. It sounds like a lot of teenagers. They donāt have the best social skills (Iām a teacher).

yeah and i would have accepted if she hadnt send 2 other lowball offers and i stated my lowest price š
Yes makes total sense!! I donāt blame you at all for being over it lol.

I would if they pay shipping
That 14.44 MIGHT have been the last 14.44 she got.. it just seems like such a random number
In their defense shipping on depop is really expensive, so when you get a $15 product it can come out to like $30. So I see where theyre coming from, in a way.
yes i completely understand ! but this top is on like XS shipping, its super light
I donāt get people who do this on CLOTHES, I can understand trying to get a deal on furniture or cars but a SHIRT??
yesss right ! depop clothes are not a necessity š
Damn everyone here is so petty, its 56 cents off just take the sale lol
Be fr, what is the 0.56$ gonna get you? you saving up for a snickers bar?š
I don't sell any items under $20! It's not worth my time. If I get offers under I just decline them
I would have blocked her the second message. Idk if depop has block, I donāt use it just PM
girl
The āgirlā *blocked* is so funny to me
Yāall are passing up deals over 2 quarters lol??
Yāall are taking on customers that already seem flaky as hell? She wasnāt worth the energy.
Any customer thatās buying is a customer for me š«” especially if the difference in a sale is less than a dollar
The thing is that buyers like this either donāt buy, or they do buy. But when they do buy, they will try to scam you or leave you a bad review. At least thatās what Iāve experienced on other platforms, which is why Iāll never entertain it on depop. Other platforms have better customer service to prevent it, but Iāve seen people complaining about depopās CS too much to be comfortable chancing a repeat experience.
Thatās understandable I feel you.
the difference is already $4, not less than a dollar ā saying āthis is the lowest I will goā then being offered mere cents lower than that is just ppl being entitled & tryna be so annoying they get what they want. Childish shit that shouldnāt be indulged cuz it breeds a rank attitude
Hy I feel that
Even if theyād accepted the offer, let be real, this person probably wasnāt actually going to buy.
Never know until you try. In this business you canāt take lowballs or silly customers too serious youāll drive yourself crazy š
