funny situation .. had to laugh

[brandeentertainment]

Had a buyer send best offer of $12 in french saying shipping included... All the movie they are making offers on are free shipping...

So I explain and send counter offer of $20 ...

Then I get another offer for $22 in French saying shipping included ...

So they declined my $20 free shipping offer but gave me $22 Free shipping ..

I tried to explain but do not want to irritate the buyer with language barriers but all I know is i tried  I really did ... LOL

Language barriers can be "fun".  Words, slang, phrases, concepts do not translate. What I do, is go from English to whatever and then back again: "That's not what I meant".

Hehehe....nice one!

I had a similar type situation a month ago with a buyer in California.

At the time I had best offer on all my BINs.

I think the item was at $5.00 and she offered $4.25 so I countered with $4.75. She then offered $5.25 and I accepted lol...
