TLDR: Buyer insisted on me deleting all of the comments on my product listing of the item that he bought, to the point that he didn't complete the process despite receiving the product until I do his request.
I have a customer in Mercari who commented on my product post to haggle. I wasn't able to reply immediately so he commented that he'll think about it after a few hours. When I replied, I didn't accommodate his requested price at first because it was too low but he haggled again for just 20 yen lower than my asking price so I said okay.
After I updated the price and notified the buyer thru comment, he bought it and messaged me directly. He asked if I could delete the comments on the product post. Since he paid thru ATM/Konbini, I said I will once the payment is successful.
Once I get the notification of successful payment, he also messaged me and requested again for the comment deletion. I removed all his comments as I thought he just didn't want a history of him buying the item shown publicly, then I also shipped the product same day.
I messaged him about the shipping and comment deletion. He messaged again insisting that I remove all of the comments. As I was busy with other things, I wasn't able to reply immediately. When I checked his messages, he said if I can't remove them, that's also okay so I said okay. I didn't do anything else.
After a few hours, he messaged me again if I could delete all the comments. I didn't reply immediately. When I checked the delivery status, it's already with him but he's not completing the process yet. He kept on messaging about the comments so when I finally had the time, I removed everything and told him so.
He finally completed the process but now I wss wondering, is there any reason why a buyer insist on not having any comment on a product listing? I just can't really think of a reason why he kept on insisting about this. This all happened in the span of 3 days. I really felt like he was being quite pushy and demanding because of the multiple messages about the comment deletion that he didn't even complete the process until I do so.
Will there be repercussions if I give a negative feedback to the buyer?
