Selling items online often brings unique challenges, especially when potential buyers request to view an item in person before making a purchase decision. Given the diverse opinions and rules related to providing personal information, such as an address, for viewings, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Have you experienced this scenario as a seller or buyer? How did you handle it, and what was the outcome? Additionally, what strategies do you recommend while ensuring safety and complying with platform guidelines? Can these in-person viewings coexist with e-commerce's digital nature, or do they undermine the core business model of platforms like eBay? Your experiences, advice, or even anecdotes could help someone facing this dilemma. Let's discuss!
