As a seller, I agree with your rant, but as a buyer, I understand where he is coming from too. Why pay $8 when you can talk a seller down to $3? That's his 'job' as a buyer... to get what he wants for as little as possible. State your selling rules, then either stand firm or try to work with the buyer... your call.

I agree ADB. I buy & sell on other sites, and as both a buyer and seller, I try to get the best deal I can. When selling, I dont really mind if a buyer wants to haggle over a price a bit (low ball offers are a completely different story). All in all, as a seller, most of the time I'd rather sell my item at a discounted price than not at all. And yes, I know there are different circumstances to different situations.

Now as a buyer, I have contacted sellers to negotiate a better price. (Usually with BIN items or items that have no bids). I know that the seller wants to get as much as he can for his item, while I'm trying to get it as cheap as I can. I dont low ball people, but I do try to offer fair prices. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it don't. Bottom line, your gonna deal with the bottom feeders no matter where u sell. Jus try not to let it get to you.
