Default suppliers who waste buyers time

hey,
i saw a thread started by tylola about forums users wasting sellers time, well i would just like to say that sellers can actually waste the buyers time also

seller says if you place your order, next 10 get free shipping, some kind of incentive etc, then when you message that person, they are suddenly no longer intrested in giving you what they offered, or delay the process so you wind up just paying for whatever you want and not getting the incentive, or promising a freebire and then being indaunted with soo many offers you cannot get it, when you were the first second or 5th to reply to thread

another good 1 is, when you request an item from a seller then they say, oh we dont have it in stock! when they have clearly offered on here! they suddenly dont have it in stock, but 2 days later they do and suddenly the price has gone up by a fiver!

another 1 is when, they say we dont have this in stock but we will let you know when we do, you hear nothing and constantly chase them regarding item, they say sorry still nothing, you see them reply to a thread on here stating they can get the item! hang about! u just told me a week ago you couldnt get the item, now you say you can?

another favorite is, you have a chat with a supplier on msn, you mention what you have been buying, they suddenly say oh i can get that cheaper! but when i asked you b efore you said you didnt even do that product, now you can get it cheaper when you knew that i got it from elsewhere,

my all time favorite is, i have sent out your item, you wait the required period for delivery, you get nothing but stalling tactics, can you wait a week longer? just to see if they come, its been a week! you said time frame was 1-3 day y would it come now, then they dont want to send you another item, or refund you and you have to constantly, e-mail, msn open threads just to embaress them to do something about the situation

these are just some of the examples of what i have experienced while dealing on this forum, i havent named any names, but it is not just the buyer that is in the wrong sometimes the supplier can be out of order to! i understand there can be problems with ordering and supplying but, sellers can keep people up to date and maybe we wouldnt make so many silly mistakes, sorry that this post is so long! but it does work both ways

Well just don't deal with them again and i think you should at least show your satisfaction on the itrader comments you leave.

Don't trust them the only method of payment is the dreaded Western Union big no no.
