a) You hold off on buying the item and email the seller first and ask him/her if there is anymore available.
b) Go ahead and buy the item. You'll email the seller and ask for more AFTER you buy it.
2) You email the seller at 10:00 pm. You then check your email the following morning, at 7 am and see that the seller has not responded. You:
a) Assume that they have not yet received your email from the night before (it's only been 9 hours, most of it was during the night) and give it at least 12-24 hours from the first email to contact them again.
b) Email them AGAIN immediately and ask them to respond to your first email.
You responded:
All As: You are a sane person. Your decisions are based on logic an understanding of how people and the world work. I want you for a customer.
One A, one B: You are a bit impulsive. You need to read instructions more thoroughly and realize the world doesn't revolve around you. With a little experience and learning the hard way, you can hopefully turn into an A-type.
All Bs: You need to stay away from commerce, especially the internet where you have to wait for emailed responses, however I'm sure brick and mortar sellers think you're no picnic either. My advice? Go away. Now. Please.

hahahaha! that sucks. if you have their email address you could pay them back by signing them up for a bunch of annoying websites. I saw that recently on a blog. Get even by filling out mailers for every little form inside of magazines, or signing them up for things online so they get a lot of junk email. Mean, isn't it?
But that takes effort and they've already used their per customer quota of my effort. I figure they've raised my Blood Pressure X points for the morning (and evening to come, no doubt), taking X minutes off my life, so I don't want to spend any more time on them.
Plus, some mentally ill customer had already done that to me a few years ago (put my email on porn mailing lists) and then ACCUSE ME of spamming THEM! (Projection, anyone?) so I wouldn't want to do that to others.
It's not worth it. The best one can hope is that they pay for their purchase, not neg me, and go away forever from ebay.
It's this impulsivity that bugs me no end. I had one totally insane customer email me 20 MINUTES after her last email asking "Are you there? Please respond!!!!!"
Do these people think I'm some sort of wizard that sits behind my computer all day, don't sleep, don't eat, don't work on things (even things related to the business they are dealing with) OFF the computer? What is WRONG with people?
And why buy something if you need more than one, in hopes that you can get more, assuming more are available? What if more WEREN'T available? Shouldn't you email the seller 1st to find out?
People are so spoiled. They want everything. Now. I hate this.
It's like they see stuff on TV and they want want want. They have no ability to say "this is bullshit, I don't need it" and tune it out. That part of their brain is completely missing.
I'm sorry you get customers like these.
It just won't stop, Jerry!
