Facebook Selling Etiquette

[magicroundabouts]

If you sold an item on Facebook and had agreed a day and time to collect and then the buyer didn’t show up, would you just assume they were no longer interested and move to the next buyer?

This has happened to me so giving the benefit of doubt, I pm'd the buyer and asked if she still wanted it as she had failed to turn up as originally planned.
She replied, no apology for no-show, rearranged another day and time.
She failed to turn up again so I put it back up for sale about 24 hours later. Sold item to someone else and it was picked up within the hour.
Meanwhile, I received a pm from the no- show lady calling me all sorts for not waiting for her, she was reporting me etc etc.
Reported her to the admin of the selling page and blocked her. End of.

I always put "no holds" on selling items now.

Yep, and then i give thema bad rating for timekeeping/punctuality

Sorry OP, to answer your question (I went off on my own little rant ).
You could message once if you are feeling generous but experience tells me they aren't interested so put it back up for sale.

Ah, that’s good to know! It is back up for sale 😀 and i’ve added ‘no holds’ to the description (thanks for the tip!).

Yep I state no collection so sfs. I will always out of courtesy message the actual collector but don't give them more than a few hours.
