As someone who has worked online for over ten years, I have had my fair share of bad experiences. I used to sell iPhones and other items as an online seller. Once, a buyer asked me to meet him to check and purchase a 128GB iPhone 7 Plus. I arrived at the meeting place 30 minutes early, but the buyer never showed up. I tried to contact him by text and phone, but he has yet to respond, and his phone number was unreachable. I waited for two hours, but he had yet to arrive, so I decided to go home feeling disappointed. It was one of my worst online experiences as a business owner. How about you?
 
There's nothing I can share. I never have a business online only offline business. Base on my observation, many suffer low sales because people prefer to buy in physical store because of rampant scamming online. Good businesses were affected by bad online businesses. People generalized as all are the same scammers.
 
I have an Instagram page where I could sell products using the dropshipping system, and the worst thing for me is that people are very lagging behind or they do it on purpose. When the price of the product is written under the post, they ask it twice. They also constantly ask for some proof that I will send the goods, although I do not even demand prepayment from them, and even if I did not send, he would not lose anything
 
I have found that married women, young frauds are robbing all my data and then falsely claiming to own my business, bank account and getting great powers, monthly government salary while I make great losses.

Have you ever fallen victim to a scam while operating your offline business? Sad to say, scammers are notorious for being pervasive.

Yes, some businesses suffer from low sales due to potential buyers being scared of getting scammed. I have stumbled upon some horror stories online, one of which involved someone buying a laptop, only to receive rags instead. It is a shame that such incidents can take place and that they can damage the reputation of reliable online businesses.

Some people do not like to read. They would still ask about the price even if it is already stated on the post. Not only that, they bombard you with questions but have no intention of buying the product. Hehehe

How did you come to know about this? It seems like this issue is widespread in your country, which can be alarming.

For me so far, I think the worst would be not having enough sales for my business.

It can be a real challenge to generate enough sales in a competitive market.

That's right scammers are trying to up their games now. You get to meet them almost on a daily as an online seller
 
One of my worst experiences is that I could not get customers and it made me stop the business real quick

You would have still continued for a while. You know they are some businesses that needs you giving it time to work
 
The worst experience that I had in business online was when I dispatched a product for delivery, and on getting there, the customer changed her mind and said she is using the money for the product to tend to her sick mom. Before the product got back to me, it was already damaged.

There were many times I received a fake order and my money wasn't returned. Good online sellers are badly affected by those who scammed their buyers.

You will need to know that every business has pros and cons so it's better for you to run research and analysis before you start any business my problem is always lack of promotional source to let people know about my brand

Yes, it is important to conduct thorough research before diving into any business venture. Be sure to market it, both online and offline.

Yes, it happens. Some customers have a change of heart and end up returning the product. It is an aspect of online business that owners have little control over.

Yes, it happens to many buyers, which is unfortunate. This affects the good online sellers. It can make people become doubtful.
