Non-responsive sellers with active listings

The "ignore" solution sounds good IF that filters them from classified listings.

It does.

I've got a few listings.
Put me on your ignore list (temporarily or permanently, your call ) and test her out.

A lot of times I won't even grace people with a response, typically when it's an insultingly low offer. If you're genuinely interested and have questions, I'm more than happy to answer them, but perfect example, I had a gun listed at 350, it was up literally less than 3 hours and someone messaged me with "$200." It wasn't even a question, it was a statement, which makes it even more laughable. People are also busy and don't check this 20 times a day, I usually check once a day if I have something posted and if I get time, otherwise, it can wait. Patience is a virtue.

You're taking it personal. People can be jerks, so what, life goes on. Don't let it get under your skin. I would be surprised if no one with a classified ad wasn't getting any lowball offers. It happens. Put on your big boy pants and move on.

Imo if someone just flakes out on an agreed deal/meeting I would drop them like a hot stone and never deal with them again, thank god that has never happened to me both buying/selling.
As far as someone posting something for sale and doesnt respond I would just leave a comment on that thread stating such and move on.

Hahaha, right!

Have a non-responsive seller is nothing new. Lots of people list things in multiple places and forget to go back to them and mark as sold. If they aren't on here regularly and don't have the correct notification settings, it's easy to have an orphan classified. 90 days should be good.

I have been low balled on items for years going well beyond firearms being a eBay seller since 2000 and always replied politely yet with a bit of wit when I listed something "or best offer" and got a joke of an offer.
As far people being busy and dont check sites they have something listed for sale I simply don't buy into, it's called notifications which for a very long time now shows in one's email.

One would have to go out of their way to disable notifications, just saying.

IDK, I wasn't getting them and needed to tweak the settings. Just sayin'

I never said I was taking it personally, I'm not sure where that came from, clearly you read something different than what I posted... it didn't bother me in the least aside from the chuckle I got out of it, but clearly you seem to think that it did for some reason. Don't try to read into something that isn't there buddy, though I am curious how you managed to pull that idea from my post...

Not trying to stir anything up but any site I have ever been on, be it selling or just posting, getting email notifications was the default setting.

I thought it was odd too. I was getting the notification once I logged in, just not an email saying I had a message.

 

[Radman64]

Yeah, that's strange.

 

[Warpspeed]

Yeah, that's strange.

I'm 99% sure it was my doing

I agree about the unreasonably low offers: those don't really deserve a response although personally I have responded to those people and said "sorry but no" to maintain some etiquette on the site, even if they are not. Just to be clear I don't think we're talking about people who don't respond same day: we're talking about people who have had something listed for two or three months with multiple inquiries and no response. They should just close the ad if they're not serious about selling. The "ignore" solution sounds good IF that filters them from classified listings.

They get filtered automatically when they expire and never show again if you ignore.

Man, when can I shoot with you lol.
