Female ebay sellers get better treatment?

Post by Zing »

This is just a thought.

I received a game from an Ebay seller the other day, and it came with a hand-written note, clearly written by a female. I got an instinctive tingle in my private parts and it got me thinking. As a seller, even if you are male, it may benefit you to have a female write these thank you notes for your sales. I cannot imagine how this wouldn't cause buyers to be more willing to work with you on returns and complaints, and also to give you higher ratings and feedback.

Also, isn't it interesting just how easy it is to discern female and male writing? I wonder if it is a consistent test for how feminine someone is. I can say from my experience that less feminine women I know have less feminine writing.

No doubt that was a dude - none.

This has been a known seller's technique on ebay (and elsewhere) forever. Usually the dead giveaway is when the listing is all charming and signed "Alyssa" and then the email says "You've just sent money to Fred."

Now, change your underwear, regroup, and request that return.

We used to give the girls the drugs to hold when we were out with large amounts. The cops would always talk to us first, which gave the girls chance to drop it in a bush and get ready to bat their eyelids.

I too, cannot believe you got turned on by girly handwritting dude.

This is where I stopped reading.

I assume you knew a girl wrote it because the "i"'s and lower case "j"'s were dotted with hearts?

It's not about the seller being male or female, it's about excellent customer service.
