What do you think this means?

I sold a pair of trousers on eBay, the buyer didn't pay. I sent an email asking for payment, got a long winded and badly spelt one back which said they bought them for their cousin who didn't want them anymore. I opened a non-paying bidder case, got another email which said please re-list them as they don't want themm, and the case has now closed and I'm planning to relist at the weekend.

Then today I get this email, anyone got any ideas what on earth the buyer is on about?

    Those we love don't go away,They walk beside us every day,Unseen, unheard, but always near,
    Still loved, still missed and very dear
    Our thoughts are ever with you,Though you have passed away.And those who loved you dearly,
    Are thinking of you today.

  • She's trying to avoid the non payment strike.

    She wants to pay the £1 and then the non payment case will be cancelled and you will have to pay fees on the transaction.

    If she pays she will avoid the strike, some sellers (as I do) have repeat non payers blocked from buying things from them.

    Don't give in, and don't accept the £1. Just ignore her.

    She deserves the strike,

  • I don't think you need to be nasty to her, many buyers don't understand the implications of non payment.

    erm.. years ago I too bought something on ebay then changed my mind and asked for the transaction to be cancelled. The seller was not pleased but agreed, and we did a mutual cancellation.
    I had not idea they had lost money, until I started selling, or I would not have done it.

    What I'm saying not all buyers are acting out of malice, ignorance and naivety probably yes.

    Personally I prefer to agree cancellations if someone asks, but it's up to individual sellers how they respond, obviously.
  • I'm a teenager and I've not got the foggiest what that means! I'd just ignore them, they had their chance to pay if they wanted to.
  • Maybe they already have a strike and this is a crude attempt to avoid another? It's not exactly a clever way to operate, but they do seem a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
