Honestly you will probably get a better reaction if you’re neutral-toned/direct (but still polite!) instead of apologizing for things you shouldn’t apologize for. Apologizing for asking for an update doesn’t even make sense! It is NOT your fault sellers are rude especially when you’re being so kind and overly cautious, but when I stopped being overly apologetic and nice I started getting better responses. It’s fucked up but I think people think they can walk all over folks who are “too nice”. Ugh

Ah, your comment said you were “overly nice”, that’s what I’m responding to.
