Issue in a fb buy-sell group (long)

I was supposed to meet someone yesterday morning and they were a a no show. I waited 30 minutes outside the grocery store in the cold. I sent a fb message after 10 mins which I saw she read. Then i sent another one 10 mins after that and she finally responded after several more minutes. Gave me a story how she had an emergency, and forgot and fb didn't let her respond to my 1st message, but she still wanted the items. I was pizzed so I ignored her.
Several hours later she sent me a huge sob story and apologized so I decided to give her another chance for Friday morning, but said that if anyone wanted the items betw then and now that I would sell. I said to assume we are still meeting unless she heard otherwise from me.
So she told me to forget it and have a blessed day.
Then she proceeded to like several other of the other items I posted but not leave a comment so I disregarded her likes.

This morning she writes a cryptic message on the group saying that people can't choose who they sell to and she is going to report someone. I think she means me!

What should I do? I have never had any problems w anyone before.

If you read this whole thing, thank you!

I don't know much about these buy/sell boards. But I wouldn't worry about it.
Let her report you. Than tell your side of the story.
She's not reliable and that alone should be enough not to sell to her. You gave her 30mins and a message that she read. And I never heard of not being able to respond to a message. She's bullshitting.

What's the worse that can happen? They kick you off.

So basically I wouldn't do anything.

Dh said the same thing.

I would let the admins know that she didn't show up for a pick up as agreed upon. She might be one of those people that has a track record of doing it. I'd ignore the message in the group itself. People like to be passive aggressive on the internet!

Ok I will. Thanks!

Re: Issue in a fb buy-sell group (long)

I def wouldn't worry. You have the proof in the message that she said to forget it, when you were still going to sell it to her.

She no-showed, so essentially you're allowed to offer to the next interested person. So you were 100% right to tell her that if anyone else was interested between when she could meet you again, you would sell to them.

I've had a few no-shows and people who don't respond for days and then respond 5 days later expecting me to still have the item for them. I send a message to confirm our meeting. If I don't here back w/in 24 hours, I assume that person doesn't want it and move on to the next person. I've never had a problem.

Ok thanks. I feel better. She keeps liking my things on the group.
I want to block her, but dh said not to do anything and just to ignore her and eventually she'll get bored and stop.

i agree with everyone else. she's being a big baby about something that she did wrong.
