I'm pretty new to selling on the exchange, so far so good.
The other day I sold two knives in a package deal to buyer X. Within a couple of hours, X had resold the knife to somebody else (Y) and Y asked me to ship to him directly - which I didn't. I shipped to X. I don't mind at all that X sold the knife at a profit - I have my own rules for setting sale prices (what I bought the knife for minus a discount), and once I'm paid it's the buyer's knife, period. But: for me, a transaction is complete when the buyer receives the item (s)he bought and lets me know (s)he's happy.
I know like most of you how exciting it is to receive a new knife. But, some of us don't live on BF, don't use BF for the exchange only, don't use the exchange professionally, have a job, etc. Also stuff can happen, at the personal level, or with the carrier who can delay or even loose the item, it can get stolen from your porch, etc. Rare, but sh*t happens.
Slow down please.
