Read the Listing

I can't tell you how many messages I've received literally asking me for the information that is in the listing. Questions like: What size? How much? What condition are the shoes in? All of these answers are in the listing.

Show Up on Time

I had a situation where the potential buyer set the time, and I was there at 3:30 P.M. ready for the exchange. I waited an hour before I decided to message her back. I like to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe something came up. Oh, something came up alright. This potential buyer not only stood me up but also wasted an hour of my life, and couldn't be bothered to let me know!

One More Tip Before You Shop

In conclusion, I would just ask that if you say that you are going to buy something, do it. If something comes up, or you change your mind simply let the seller know. Just be a  decent person. Nobody likes to be stood up.
