Because it always costs me in the end.
Someone on Etsy asked about a flannel fabric I have listed. She wanted to know if I'd chop up the piece and sell her 1 yard of it for $5.
I told her I had a remnant piece that was 16 inches wide x 2.5 yards she could have for $5(as she was going to cut the fabric into small squares anyway).
So she answers that she only needs a piece big enough to make a few 3" squares.
So I tell her I'll sell her a piece of the remnant for $1 that can fit into a reg. envelope so the postage would be .49¢.
She answers that's great.
I tell her just to send me $1.49 to my Paypal account and I'll send it on to her.
So she says she wants to use her Etsy account so I now have to make a listing for her to buy it.
So I tell her if I have to make a listing and pay .20¢ to Etsy then she has to pay that cost, so her new price is $1.69.
Really, it isn't worth it to me to have to pay .20¢ on a $1 sale, ya know?
So guess who has disappeared and not replied for 2 days now?
Yep.
You go out of your way to basically be nice to someone because really this isn't worth my time and energy to sell her $1 of fabric, and it comes back to bite me in the ass.
Bah Humbug!
