Time payments question? should I handled it differently? UPDATE!!

[uchiha101]

If I were you I would already have my business plan in place before you start selling.

 

Selling for myself or other people?

 

Both. It's your business right? Set your parameters,and keep your rules in place. Just like any other work place.

 

Fair enough I'll take examples and ask questions about things I don't know about

[01TheDude]

one rule I would make is that if someone calls you a thief for no apparent reason, stop dealing with them entirely

Somebody wanted time payments on $75?

[Gotham Kid]

most of us have likely done time payments but this is the first I hear for an amount so low.

Maybe he was angry that the 20% is non-refundable? he says he'll pay it within the month so we'll see

Started reading this thread and just when my interest on it was waning...low and behold the $75 total comic value. I dont mean to be a snob of some sort but if one needs time payments for $75, i wouldn't get into a hobby yet. I would save up first and start a hobby when im financially capable or look for a cheaper hobby.

 

Something is just really wrong when you do time payments for $75

Gabe,

 

If you want to be in business but don't have a natural knack for it or lack experience you should at the very minimum educate yourself on what is expected.

 

Oak is right...simple outlines (most of which are obvious -like stipulating to customers ahead of time what the rules are) that protect both you and the customer are pretty much a must.

 

If you continue to make simple mistakes your business will lose credibility quickly. Most people extrapolate their opinions and base their judgements on a business based on how it conducts itself and in a small hobby it doesn't take many mistakes for a business to lose credibility, whether you are honest or not.

 

Have you taken any business courses?

One can only imagine what emergency would require the $15 back.

I agree I never seen someone ask for time payments for a 75 dollar comic before

I didn't take a business class per-say but I took a three-week course on starting your own business

No clue.

I've payed 10-80% for the initial payment. I think most good dealers who know your buying habits already just want an honest good faith deposit. I've never backed out and have always paid faster than discussed.

sounds like you're the kind of customer I like

Time payments on $75.

This is why I don't deal with these facebook groups.

That and clowns selling raw NM- Copies of Uncanny X-men 281 for $40.

Selling for $40 or asking for $40?
