Case 1: Apparently, I was "unresponsive/too slow" in accepting someone's offer of 100k Bells, so they cancelled on me in just a few minutes of me having put the listing up, and theirs was the only offer. (Though, I would've happily accepted their 100k. It's just that I was dealing with other trades in the meantime since I was getting quite a few offers; I listed several DIY recipes one after the other for the first time, so my listings were all showing up at the top of the search results, and thus bound to get more attention/offers.) I even had my status set to Busy, along with my bio/description (which is always shown right above every listing) explaining what my Online/Busy/Offline statuses specifically mean for me. Word for word, Busy means I'm updating listings, completing a trade, or AFK. But I guess that didn't mean anything to them, if they even saw or read it in the first place... Perhaps, I could have messaged them letting them know I'd be with them shortly, but didn't get around to doing it because, again: it was my first time on Nookazon, plus I had multiple offers to respond to. Naturally, after that experience and getting used to the pace, I started messaging offerers when they would have to wait a bit, even if they didn't cancel on me in the first few minutes (because most people usually don't cancel so quickly...). Some people are just too impatient and have a bad attitude, it seems. At least, that's the impression this offerer left on me, unfortunately.
Case 2: Someone offered me 2 NMTs for a DIY recipe and, out of a bit of curiosity and cheekiness, I counter-offered them for 3 NMTs. Later, I check and see that they declined. Understandable. Wasn't guaranteed, and wasn't expecting it to go through for sure. Then, I cancel my counteroffer and message them asking if they're still interested and that I'd be happy to accept their offer of 2 NMTs (since they still had it up at the time). They don't respond, though their status says Online. I get the feeling they may be annoyed with me at this point, and so they've probably moved on to another person. About an hour or so later, I get a notification saying they cancelled the offer because they no longer need the item. Okay... So, three possibilities there: they changed their mind, they got the same DIY recipe from someone else because they got a better deal, or they just didn't want to trade with me specifically because of my counteroffer earlier. Regardless, I didn't really see the sense in it... First off, asking them for just one more NMT isn't crazy, in my opinion. Like, I didn't think it would be a make-it-or-break-it thing. And secondly, even after clicking Accept on their first offer, I still directly messaged them to confirm that I was willing to do the trade. Yeah, it took a few extra steps and a little more time than it maybe should have, but they still would have gotten what they initially wanted, and I would've had one more DIY recipe off of my cluttered beach, plus 2 NMTs in my pocket. But no, they just had to be petty over 1 NMT difference. *sigh*... I don't know. Maybe I'm the one that's being petty. Or just plain sensitive... I guess, when I just don't understand people's actions, I take it personally, and/or I make it mean something negative about them.
i’m so, so sorry. i know that we don’t really know each other but i can tell you love your hamsters and care for them deeply. this wasn’t your fault and you’re not a ****ty owner at all.
Is that feature disabled for this thread or something, or it just doesn't count for text closed off in a spoiler? Anyway... Ironically, I'm not even getting any offers on Nookazon anymore right now.
