A question about : My turn for the odd ones

I'm definitely getting all the strange ones today

Between Christmas and the New Year I had someone buy a widget from me, I posted it same day. Next evening I get a 'please can I cancel this item' request as she had found it considerably cheaper elsewhere. I explained it had been sent and if she returned item to sender I would refund on safe return.

She pressed for an immediate refund as she needed the money to buy from this other seller (my item was sub Ј5) and insisted I had posted it 'too quickly' and hadn't given her enough time to make her mind up. I politely refused and it came back to me about 9 days later, so I refunded. Strangely she then left glowing feedback saying the item was lovely.

I blocked her and thought no more of it until today when she messages me to say I need to send her item back immediately and send her an invoice so she can repay. Apparently the one she bought from another seller never arrived and she is 'gutted' and her whole year will be spoilt etc...so she MUST have my one by Tuesday at the latest.

I have not responded and am not sure I will.

Best answers:

  • If it was for a hard to sell item it might be worth removing the block and letting her buy but for a Ј5 item, I would say just ignore her.
    She might get the item and decide to leave poor feedback and stars due to you blocking her.
  • Leave the block and ignore the message. If the item sells well anyway, you're saving yourself hassle.
  • I would want to reply saying "diddums" But your probably best just ignoring.
    Sub Ј5 and they found it considerably cheaper? Is it something the Chinese sellers also list?
