중고 이야기

I was selling a book for 5,000 won, and the buyer contacted me around 3 AM. I replied right away, but didn't hear back, so I figured they weren't going to buy it. Then, when I checked again in the morning, they said they wanted to buy it. I asked them where to meet, and told them the front gate of 00 Elementary School. They replied, "I'm in ㅁㅁ-dong though? Do I have to go all the way there?" When I said, "If you're buying it, you should come over," and "I can also do direct purchase or half-price delivery," they said, "Delivery when it's close? I don't like that lol." ㅁㅁ-dong is far for me too, and I don't have a car. In the end, they said they'd drive to the front gate of 00 Elementary School, so I arranged for same-day pickup. However, while my parents were waiting at the front gate, the buyer went to the back gate of 00 Middle School and contacted me asking where I was. Eventually, I had to contact them again, change the meeting spot, and ask my parents to go there again to complete the transaction. They only left a review saying 'Friendly,' which is their choice, but the whole process was so inconvenient that I didn't feel good about it. In a situation like this, would it have been better not to trade at all from the start?

I bought an item and was told it would be sent the next day, so I waited, but no tracking number arrived after a few days. When I asked, they said they had already sent it but had thrown away the receipt. They promised to send the tracking number. So I waited a few more days, and when it still didn't arrive, I requested a refund. Only then did they admit they hadn't actually sent it yet, apologized for lying, and said they'd send it right away. However, a little later, they sent a picture of the receipt, saying they had dropped it off at a convenience store. This time, they covered the last part of the tracking number with their finger. I asked them to retake the picture so the number was visible, and they said okay. An hour later, I got a reply saying, "I threw that paper away." It seemed like they were holding it when they took the picture, so I was a bit taken aback when they said they threw it away just an hour later. In the end, the item did arrive, but the whole experience left me feeling quite upset, so I just resold it. I'm just venting because I thought, 'Wow, this kind of thing happens in used item transactions.'
