Caerus Posted September 9, 2010 Share What are unwritten rules for sales that people should abide by? As its pretty much based on trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOldGuy Posted September 9, 2010 Share 1)Dont run the opposition's product / service down. Explain the differances by all means, but keep to the facts and dont let emotions get involved. 2)Explain any and all "hidden costs" to the consumer. An example, if you sell an item and it needs batteries to work which are not included - tell the customer - theres nothing worse or more irritating to a client to buy something and get home only to find it needs another cable, batteries, a seperate plug etc. Drives me MAL.! 3)Listen to what the customer wants, and dont try and sell him something he dosnt want, just because you have it in stock, and need to move it.

Caerus Posted September 9, 2010 Share What if someone agrees to buy something and then changes his mind the next day? I understand that folks are allowed to do this but when would a say cut off be? When the seller gets the money only? There must be some kind of friendly verbal agreement "clause" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted September 9, 2010 Share Trust and honesty are pretty much the bottom line for Hub sales.I sort of rely on the 'security' of The Hub environment and hope that the other person feels the same.I have done several buying and selling transactions and all have gone well. Payment confirms the sale.Once money is in the bank, the item can me sent.Speed Services is the prefered method.Or cash on collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good for me then jumping the gun and agreeing to something else. I mean its not the end of the world I suppose. Just learnt a lesson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted September 9, 2010 Share Only ship once you have payment. Be very careful if the guy has only 1 post and is selling a R30k bike with no details. I PM guys and ask if they know the seller and what's he like.(the new friends list now also helps a lot) Ask for loads of photos and especially close ups.
