Similar thing or invents has ever happened to me while I was serving my boss few years ago. I was working under a firm in its marketing department where each person is given target of customers and sales to meet up per month and over year. This customer I met in a supermarket and advertised our product to him and he actually liked it so we exchanged contact.

We started talking over the chat to negotiate the terms and conditions of the transactions. He was excited and we both agreed to meet and deliver the product and transact the business and sincerely he didn't show up. I felt very bad at that point but I placed the situation as human with possible circumstances that must have hinder him from showing up. I tried to put a call across but it didn't connect. So I sent a caring text to ask after his wellbeing and few days later I received a reply from him appreciating my text and requesting ten times first order.

That is really one of the problem when transacting with people, there are who will be honest and there who are just playing up a game. Especially, you a re in a competitive world.

 I can provide some advice on how to handle the situation:


Communicate beforehand: Before the meeting, make sure to establish clear communication with the buyer regarding the details of the meeting, including the date, time, and location. Confirm the details a day or two before the meeting to ensure that everyone is on the same page.


Be flexible: If the buyer is running late, try to be understanding and flexible. However, if the buyer doesn't show up after a reasonable amount of time has passed, you may need to consider canceling the meeting.


Be respectful: If the buyer doesn't show up, it's important to handle the situation professionally and respectfully. Avoid getting angry or frustrated, as this could harm your reputation.


Consider rescheduling: If the buyer has a valid reason for not showing up, consider rescheduling the meeting for a later time that works for both of you.


Keep records: Keep a record of the communication and the details of the meeting, including the date, time, and location. This can be useful if there are any issues that need to be resolved in the future.


By following these steps, you can handle the situation professionally and minimize any negative impact on your reputation as a seller.

In life whenever I have any thing to do, I try to make room for disappointment because I know life situations come with two sides of the coin both good and bad and sometimes we can't blame them because they might also be disappointed by others too. Making room for disappointment like this will make one not to be more frustrated when things doesn't go as expected even debtors does same when they can't get money to pay back.

If a buyer disappoint me I will ring the person up first to find out why it is happening and then if it a good reason then I will be fine with it but if a flimsy excuse  I would  be annoyed but I wouldn't mind, I will just look for a new buyer provided my products is still with me and in perfect condition. I will just move on he or she will come around when he or she is ready.

Accurately right. If the product or service stand or match the standard. Surely, the customer will return or check back sooner or later.

I deal with my buyers in this way--

* Firstly, I understand that what makes a good deal for my buyers.

* Then, find the best deals for them.

* Then, evaluate that deals.

* Then, negotiate that deals.

* Finally, buyers become happy and then I sell contracts to them.

I agree with you. We need to build a good rapport with the buyers or sellers. Trusting them is not an easy one though. For them, business is a business.

If they do this, then we can block the buyer. It is bad etiquette for not being consistent when buying things. We cannot file a case against them since there is no contract agreement. if there is, then file a case against this buyer.

Rather than sellers competing to attract buyers, the buyers compete against one another for the limited supply of homes available. Consequently, bidding wars often transpire in a seller's market, resulting in homes selling for more than their list prices.

Actually it is a very saddening and frastrurating situation. I would call them back and try to find out why they didn't show up. I would even recommend if the things they wanted to but to be delivered to them they have a look and prurchase and if it's not their liking they can always return it for replacement.

There could be a few reasons for this. If the buyers have not turned up at the meeting place or has sent a different email to indicate that they want to leave, then you could try to reach out to them directly. If the buyers have also created a review of the meeting place on review site, then you could try to find that information and make an event out of getting it fixed.
