To Sellers Who Include a Free Gift and Don't Say So....

  • When I sell items I do state if there is a free item with the purchase ie earrings with a bracelet.

    If you state this then surely it doesn't become a 'free' item anymore but a part of the listing which should fetch a higher price. I think certain items (eg the craft type things) work well with giving a small free item. Freebies I've had were some beads (I purchased a load of others) and a free pair of earplugs when a purchased ten other pairs. These were appreciated as these were what I was wanting anyway. I wouldn't eat anyfree sweets and definately would hate any strong fragranced freebies.

    I've never had anything free :( *tear*

    But I think if I were to get a free gift and it wasn't mentioned or didn't come with a note, I'd be a bit confused as to why it was there. Otherwise I'd be pleasantly surprised, even if I didn't want it. It's the thought that counts I suppose :)

    Same here! I have, at Christmas time, wrapped my parcels in wrapping tape, along with a card as well. With the person that received family pics, Id email the seller lol, as its likely that they've put them in there accidentally
