Bidders can't read
 
I am amazed that people can't read a title or description for a product. A
lady just left neutral feedback without contacting me at all about how small
her beads were. 3mm is in the title and description. If you are not sure
you should email buyer if you are not statisfied with your purchase.

uuuggghhh! This just ticks me off when people don't communicate!

That is a terrible feeling and I went through that myself when I first
started selling. Not with feedback but with an email that said the same
thing. YOu don't want to be snippy and tell them that it was right
there, but it was right there!

I make it clear on my main auction picture that 'images appear larger
for detal. see below for additional pictures." where i include a
picture of the beads in my hand. of course, you don't know how big my
hands are but it puts things in a little perspective. even then, I know
pictures can be deceiving.

I always like to see an item pictured with something that I can visually relate
to, a coin for instance. or a ruler.

And, as in all retail experiences, we grit our teeth, and smile sweetly while
we say "insert correct information here" while we think "You stoopid
idjiot"!!

The customer is always right, within bounds of legal and moral! LOL

And, I beg forgiveness now, for my stoopid questions!

I had that problem a few years ago when I started carrying 3mm firepolished
beads. I put a disclaimer in the description: "3mm is a very TINY bead!" I
haven't had any problems since then. I feel for you, believe me!

And now that I'm not charging for shipping, you wouldn't believe how many
people email me and want to know the shipping charges because there weren't
any on the PayPal invoice.

Sorry about that feedback, though. That's the pits.

Make sure you write a response on your feedback page.

Mea culpa...I didn't read the original post carefully, and didn't see that the
doofus left neutral feedback without contacting you...

You're right to be irritated...sorry for misreading! (ack!..I'm a doofus!!)

..
Is it possible to respond to neutrals?
Id be tempted to respond to the feedback, politely, "Yes, 3mm *is* small."
Sorry you had a bugger buyer.

Hmmm, I don't know. Good question. I hope Amy can, because that seems to
require a response. Doofy buyer.
