customer enquires about difference of my price from Amazon

Hi forum,

today I've received this message:

"Amazon shows £16.99 but I have been charged £23. Have I been incorrectly charged?".

This message came from a customer who had just bought a new book from me.

My reply has been: "Dear customer, the price of our copy is £.23. that of Amazon is £16.99.

We are a third party seller. If you have changed your mind, you may contact customer's service of Amazon.".

What do you think the customer will do, next? What should I do? Should I worry?

Guy

not really you’ve done nothing wrong.

The only thing I would suggest in future is advise if they are unhappy with their purchase to open a return request. However as a change of mind return you (ie the customer) would be liable for the return postage.

Here is new:

"Reported Unresolved

The buyer has expressed that their issue remains unresolved based on your last response. Please either continue the conversation with the buyer to reach a mutual resolution or select 'No Response Needed' to resolve the conversation despite the buyer's feedback.".

I suspect that the customer expects me to offer a partial refund, to match the price of Amazon.

Unless the customer emails you again, you can simply mark it as "No response required", after a few days it will disappear from your dashboard.

If the customer emails again, keep it simple or the customer will be confused - as suggested by thirtythreeandathird, I would simply email them back and let them know that if they are unhappy, they should open a return request via their Amazon account. As they are returning the item due to changing their mind, Amazon's policy is that the buyer pays the return postage.
