For Sellers: Carousell SG Buyers Review Q&A

I have learnt to know these buyers well enough to sidestep their shit. 

1) Are buyers cheapskates?
Yes.

2)  Are buyers after branded goods at super low prices?
Yes.

3) Are buyers greedy?
Yes.

4) Is it true buyers have no money?
Yes. 

5) Do buyers lie?
Yes. All the time. When they say they'll get back to you "tomorrow" or make any kind of "promise", don't count on it.  They need to be taught "Don't make promises you can't keep.".

6) Can sellers make profit everyday from selling on Carousell?
No.

7) Does Carousell have traffic?
Yes.

8) Buyers have no heart to buy.
Yes. Very, very few buyers ask with intention to buy. You can start making accurate bets on who will buy based on what & how they ask. If Carousell charged $1 for every question, everyone will think carefully first before sending a message.  Then we will have fewer stupid questions.

9)  Buyers rarely start with "Hi".
Yes. Their brains are spoilt. Goes beyond just selfishness.

10) Buyers who don't start with "Hi" are problems.
Yes. Bear in mind if you choose to sell to them.  If they make offer, no need to accept. Just process the order if they really pay.

11) Ignore potential buyers?
Yes. Look at profile pic first. Look at message start. Look at reviews if any. If you are high on punctuality, check it in reviews. Follow your instinct whether or not to sell. You are the boss.

12) Are Carousell buyers uneducated?
Yes. Mostly.

13) Are Carousell buyers stupid?
Yes.

14) Are Carousell buyers always late for meet-ups?
Yes. 99.99% will not only be late, but late without apology.

15) Are these shameless late-comers Singaporeans or foreigners?


Singaporeans. Always arrive very late without a single apology. Just stroll towards you, no hurry.
20-25 minutes late very common. Late even when they decide the time, day & place themselves. Very poor, irresponsible & inconsiderate time management & planning. Not fit to be anybody's girlfriend, boyfriend, wife, husband, friend or anything reliable.

16) Do buyers who start with "Hi" in chat message always buy?
No. But buyers who start without "Hi" will 99.999% not buy. Even if they buy, they will be very late for meet-up without apology. In other words, they are not nice people.


17)  Are "I'm interested!" persons really interested to buy?

No.  Very common. Very meaningless. $1 charged per question will eliminate such people.

18) Is it true the admin is shit?
Yes.

19) Is it true the admin is stupid?
Yes.
