how can i resolve this with my buyer?

I have sold an e reader this morning. the buyer has sent me a message saying she no longer wants the item and can i cancel the transaction. she paid at the same time as buying.

i dont know what to do, should i send the item and hope she dosent open a dispute or cancel the order for her and hop i get my fees back. i know it sounds stupid but im a bit annoyed that she has changed her mind within 4 mins of buying and paying for the item.

    It's probs easier to just cancel the item & refund rather than antagnoising the buyer, seeing as they have contacted you already.
    Sending it out & then having it returned will cost you money in postage anyway.

    thats true, im thinking that if i send the item she will just say its broken or something to get the money back, it is annoying tho

    The only daft question is the one you never ask.

    I'd never send out an item I knew someone didn't want. It's just a waste of both customer goodwill (very important on eBay) and a good item.

    i dont tend to sell on ebay, usually i use facebook selling pages, but because the baby has grown out of her premmie stuff i thought it would be the best place to put it, then i thought i would sell the e reader to buy cloth nappies its turning into more hassle than i thought it would be, but im sure this is just one problem and i wont have anymore.. i hope
