EDIT: The person in question will not accept the fact that I have a limit of how low I can go before I lose serious amounts of money and they are getting quite nasty about it. I really don't know what to do about it, but they don't seem to accept that I will not accept lower than I have already stated !! :(
Hi guys,
Basically I have a sale currently going on with someone and we are in the middle of discussions of price, and I have made it clear I will not settle for less than I have already stated. I am feeling quite uncomfortable because I cannot backout - for reasons I cannot explain right now , please don't suggest saying no and backing out, it's not possible. Well, I am feeling uncomfortable because they keep saying things like 'so you meant £5 yes?' in a different currency to what I have already written, so if I say pounds they say dollars, if I say dollars, they say pounds, and I have made it very clear what currency I wish to deal in and how much to accept and now they are trying to confuse me by consistently swapping between currencies. I am permanently on my guard having to check previous emails before I confirm anything because I am worried they are going to do a quickie on me and take advantage and rip me off. The person is very nice and they have nearly full positive feedback, except once which mentions the EXACT same problem I am having. I wish to carry on dealing with this person, as we both need to (again, for reasons I cannot yet explain) , but no 'funny business' is involved, just a friend helping another but with complications. :think:
Has anyone ever dealt with someone like this before? Do you have any advice for me, other than 'Be on your guard 24/7 and read your emails at least 4 times before confirming anything', I just feel that since I have been away recently, a few people have been 'taking advantage' of the situation as I have been extremely busy and slightly stressed. I could have the total wrong end of the stick, but for several people to be making extremely similar 'accidents' is a bit strange considering I make everything as clear as day when I write it. :dumbpc:
Thanks for reading guys, I just don't know how to continue dealing with this situation sensibly without making a monumental screw-up! :stressed:
