I once had a seller call me; he'd never sold on Augiogon before, and since I was planning to pay via PayPal, he was a bit concerned about potential chargebacks from dishonest buyers. I think speaking with the seller helped to reassure him that I'm a reasonable person, rather than someone looking to run a CC scam.
Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore?
With email, it seems that we never have to speak with the person we're buying from and selling to over the 'Gon, which kinda reduces the personalness of it all. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Do you feel the same way? Out of all the transactions you've made, about how may required a phone call to discuss?
