Well said @denmarkguy! I completely agree ... with all of it :) Bots and automation take the social out of social media of any kind.
I absolutely love love love your personalized approach to your e-Bay customers too! The fact that they know and feel that you care enough to know something personal about them, certainly lends to the amount of trust they put in you, so of course, they're willing and eager to buy from you too. It's all about people, trust, and connections ... something that goes a long way in life, but unfortunately, something that many have forgotten.
And lastly, assflakes! I've heard of asshats, assholes, ass...a bunch of other things...but never assflakes :) Love it! Thank you for adding to my vocabulary haha
Yeah, I liked the personalized eBay approach too. It certainly works, but it's time consuming, which is why lazy people look for automated ways of doing things.
Unfortunately, so true.
