Hi all

Received an order the other day, and within 10 minutes the customer cancelled.
Fair enough, no problem - I cancelled the order.

Today had a message from the "Buyer" to say I had sent them a wrong part
- black instead of dark Bluish Grey.

Good try - but no cigar

Have to be alert in this game !!

They may also simply have the wrong order number / the wrong seller.

It's still possible.

Some place like 20 orders and get really confused.

Got pictures of damaged parts - they didn't order and I've never sent.

Got message saying I didn't deliver 80 parts; one hour later "Sorry,
found it, I put the bag on the other desk"...

Many fun cases...

Odd that the buyer would say black instead of invisible.

I haven't had this, but I have had someone chase me that their parts haven't
arrived yet before they had paid me for them.

And over here I just had a quote where I sent the quote and the buyer never accepted
it and then messaged asking to hold of on picking the order since they might
add more
