BST etiquette am I wrong

[Cody77]

It’s fine, I’ll just refrain from selling on net54 anymore. If somehow a majority thinks that commenting on a thread “I’ll take it” somehow supercedes DM’s that I’m currently conversing with saying the same thing, just waiting until payment is made to mark sold. I messaged the comment poster, told him I already had others interested and somehow he and a majority on here still think he had a claim to it absolutely blows my mind. But if this is what is to be expected on this forum, it isn’t worth the trouble. I made a post, had people DM me without comments, hadn’t officially sold it, he commented and I messaged to let him know that others were interested, was confirming his interest and payment plan if a sale was to be made and if he was ok with all of it. Somehow, his 6 hour lapse of response to me telling him others were already involved before his comment still has people on here saying he had a right to it. Then one of those interested before him agreed and paid, and I mark the item sold, then he responds 4 hours after I marked sold in my messages asking for payment info and I inform him the item sold to one of those interested parties I mentioned in my original message to him, he becomes angry, throws a tantrum, and I politely ask him to stop messaging me and have to block him. Then he starts a forum post to drag my name for him not getting his way. Childish behavior. I took initiative, messaged him after his comment to let him know that he was not the first to want the item, but I hadn’t marked sold until I got payment and somehow I’m still in the wrong for most of the comments. Literally have been buying and selling for years and never experienced anything like this. Good luck to all those who try to do right through active communication! Doesn’t seem to be the norm here. Apparently making a comment on a post makes you queue to the head of the line over those who privately message and for some reason the seller should stop all communication with anyone who failed to comment on the post and wait for however long it takes for the commenter to actually respond to a message. And by the sound of it, could and should wait days before moving forward with other “actively engaging” interested parties.
