How NOT To Sell On eBay (Or Anywhere Else): Part 2
Yesterday, I picked a choice example of an eBay seller who knows 'How NOT To Sell On eBay (Or Anywhere Else)'. Today, I received another fascinating example and since it was addressed to me personally, I decided to reproduce it here and be even more forceful about why these two people aren't succeeding:

Hello Sydney,
I can't afford any investment in more marketing programs right now. I could use some promotion for the ones I have a lot of time a fair amount of money invested already.
I also haven't been able to produce with eBay!
Please visit my links: (3 URLs here)
Also, if you'd really like to help, please encourage others to visit my sites as well. I haven't been able to make a dime on the Internet yet. I also am having great difficulty finding a job as well; this is no money from anywhere!
I have child support to pay and if I go much longer without paying, I'm looking at 1-3 years in prison for non-payment. Yes, debtors prison is still alive and very well here in Northern Michigan.
So, I'm asking you to please help me in this way and I won't have any problem with rewarding you handsomely!

There are so, so many problems here that it's hard to even know where to start. I did check out one of his URLs, though, and it says to 'click here to enter the site' which I did - and nothing happened. Nothing at all. How does this guy think he will make money with that?
This writer is completely focused on himself, rather than his customer. Clearly, he cares nothing for anyone else. He basically insults me by saying, "I have spent all my money with other people, and now that I have nothing left, I expect you to help me for free'. He has no respect for my time or my business - yet he wants me to 'save' him. He says nothing about why I should send people to his site, or what they might expect to gain from going there. It's all about me, me, me - and wonders why he isn't making money.
I used to try and help everyone who sent me emails like this, but I gave that up long ago. What almost always happens is that they want to argue with me and convince me that once they're making money, then they will be able to think about the needs of others. I've got news for them - it doesn't work that way. He doesn't even seem to care about his own children! What about the mother of his kids who is trying to make it without the financial help of their father? No way would I help this man. That's what the delete key is for.
