Can i ignore an ebay incomplete order e mail
The dreaded "Incomplete Order" email from eBay!
While it's generally not recommended to ignore an incomplete order email, there are some situations where it might be acceptable. Here are a few scenarios:
- You've already resolved the issue: If you've already shipped the item or provided a refund, you can ignore the email. Make sure you've updated the order status accordingly.
- The buyer is at fault: If the buyer has failed to provide necessary information or has not responded to your attempts to resolve the issue, you might be able to ignore the email. However, be cautious, as ignoring the email might lead to negative feedback or a dispute.
- The order is genuinely incomplete: If the order is indeed incomplete (e.g., the buyer cancelled the order or didn't receive the item), you can ignore the email.
However, there are some potential consequences to ignoring an incomplete order email:
- Negative feedback: The buyer might leave negative feedback, which can affect your seller rating.
- Dispute: The buyer might file a dispute, which can lead to a lengthy and potentially costly process.
- eBay's attention: eBay's automated systems might flag your account for potential issues, which could lead to account restrictions or even suspension.
To minimize risks, it's generally recommended to:
- Respond to the email: Acknowledge the buyer's concern and try to resolve the issue amicably.
- Update the order status: Reflect the current status of the order in your eBay account.
- Document the communication: Keep a record of your communication with the buyer, including emails and any agreements or resolutions reached.
