  1. Thanks for the good deal — I figured the exchange rate was about to go up..

    환율 오를 것 같은데 싸게 넘겨주셔서 감사합니다..

  2. It's barely been any time and it already dropped 200 won. Please refund me.

    얼마안있었는데 2백원이 내려갔네요 환불해주세요

  3. Why are you even saying that to me..

    그걸왜저한테..

  4. ...like, why would you say that?

    말씀하실까요..

  5. I bought it from you, so who else am I supposed to tell?

    님한테 구매한건데 그럼 누구한테 얘기 하나요?

💡 Wait, they wanted a refund on cash itself?
The buyer treated a secondhand $1 bill like an investment, expecting the seller to guarantee its exchange rate for months after the sale — even though currency value floats every day.vs. eBay: like demanding a refund from a coin seller because gold prices dipped later.Klore note
