The first message
Nothing has gone wrong yet, which makes this the cheapest message on the site to get right and the one people put the least thought into.
What you want out of it
One specific answer. Not a relationship, not reassurance, and not a general sense that this person is fine. A first message that asks for one checkable thing gets a reply you can act on. A first message that asks how things are going gets a reply that tells you nothing and costs you a day.
What the vendor sees
A queue. Most of it is people who have not read the listing, and the reply order is roughly shortest and clearest first, because those are the ones that can be answered between other jobs. Your message is competing on how easy it is to answer, not on how polite it is.
hey
you still active? is everything good with the shop at the moment, thinking of ordering but wanted to check first. let me know when you can, thanks
Question on listing 4417. Does the fourteen day window in the description cover posting or delivery.
That is the only thing I need before I order. Thanks.
The weak one asks four questions without asking any of them. There is no fact in it that the vendor can answer, so the reply will be a friendly sentence that leaves you where you started. The strong one names the listing, quotes the phrase in doubt and states that it is the last blocker. That is a message somebody can clear in twenty seconds, which is why it gets cleared.
What to leave out
- How new you are. It is not endearing and it changes how the rest of the exchange goes.
- Where you are, beyond what the listing needs. A country is sometimes relevant. A city never is.
- What else you were looking at. Comparisons invite a sales reply instead of an answer.
- Anything about how much you might spend later. It reads as a request for special treatment and it marks you.
- Apologies for messaging. They add lines without adding anything.
What happens next
Either a short factual answer, which tells you what you needed, or a long friendly answer that avoids the question, which also tells you something. A vendor who cannot answer a plain question about their own listing in one line is telling you how the later messages will go, and the later messages are the ones that happen after your money has moved.
One message
Send one message and stop. A second message before the first is answered resets you to the back of the queue in the vendor head, and it is the most common way people turn a clear question into a bad first impression.
