.....egads, are all the buyers on GB simpletons?

In the past two months, out of approximately 20 sales (to include firearms and accessories), two of my "customers" had the incorrect address listed in their profile resulting in their item being returned, and then reshipped at their expense.

Fully half of my customers inquired as to how much postage was even though it is listed EXACTLY in every auction. Most also ask for my address, which is part of the info available at a click to a winning buyer. It is a simple process, and while I cut a nooby some slack, some of these guys have over a 100 transactions already. Can you say "unclear on the concept"?

I accept only checks or money orders, yet half will ask if I take credit cards or PayPal. Why no, I don't, just like it says in the auction details.

One fellow interested in an AR lower wanted to know why he needed to send an FFL since it is "not a gun yet". OK, that is a misconception, but politely correcting him brought his anger down on me. Guess what? You don't get my lower and all emails were reported to GB. Currently listing for this gent? No longer a registered user.

I could go on (and on!) but since these folks DO send me money it is best to simply swallow my ire and accept the ducats gracefully.
