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?

how funny !!!
I think she is offering to pay you £1 for your trouble. she wishes she could wear this size because she could have had them.
dats wot i recon anywayz.:):p0 -
How about
"Fk off, sld em"0 -
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,0 -
ignore her and she will go awayNeeding to lose weight start date 26 December 2011 current loss 60 pound Down. Lots more to go to get into my size 6 jeans0

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.0 -
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.0

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."The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.
...If you can fake that, you've got it made."
