It’s very common for customers to have specific questions about various products that they want to buy online. As the person who is selling the product you have a responsibility to answer these customer questions.

Many of these customers will probably leave your eCommerce site without purchasing anything because they do not want to make the effort to contact your support.

It would take a long time for you to respond to every customer who contacts you via your customer support. Because of the time it takes to answer the customer’s questions, they may purchase it from another site or lose interest in the product entirely.
