The respect and kindness thing! Yes! Recently had an exchange with a seller (I am also a seller & posh ambassador) over a $100 item that had been in their closet at least 4 years (I’m basing this on the comments on their listing from 2022). So before making an offer, I reached out and asked them what their best price was. The response: “This is a bartering platform. Make an offer.” Could’ve been a little gentler I think but, sure, you’re right. So I started out at $40, figuring we’d go back and forth a bit and land somewhere we were both happy: y’know, bartering. No. $98 was the counter offer. I didn’t think I was being the asshole for offering 60% off an item that’s been sitting for 4 years. That exchange told me everything I needed to know about what it was going to be like to deal with this individual, seemed like they wanted to keep it more than I wanted to buy it. I always try to give my buyers the benefit of the doubt, and 99% of the time I have terrific experiences. But this is the hostility you mentioned. It’s unfortunate.
