Yesterday I posted a question about making a reply to a feedback. I posted a
picture of the page I was asking about and thought that I had blanked out all
of the buyer's information. I screwed up and missed 1 spot. As soon as I
realized that, I cancelled my message. The post was a question. It was NEVER,
EVER meant as a name and shame. I was having trouble finding the correct link
and just needed a bit of help.
So, to my buyer: I apologize profusely for the mistake. I honestly cannot apologize
enough. That was my mistake and it is completely on me.
Now, to the member who emailed my buyer:
***** THAT IS NOT OKAY. ******
My buyer is new to BL; which I mentioned in my message. Normally, I send a message
to the buyer explaining the feedback system and why their feedback is unwarranted
and so damaging. I have found that communication and education about BL goes
a long way. Never in my wildest imaginings would I have thought that another
seller would take it upon themselves to send such a message to my buyer. The
chastising tone of the email and the "mention" of being stop-listed by sellers
made my buyer feel threatened.
What should have been a conversation between myself and my buyer became public
in a way that I never wanted. Again, that is my mistake and I apologize.
It's sad when people feel the need to do stuff like that with the excuse
of "doing it on someone's behalf", especially without making sure it's
alright first. Busybodies never accomplish anything good.
