annoying person! what would you do?

this is the 6th message in 24 hours from a potential buyer, she is desperate for 2 of my items and I have already said what discount I could offer, but she keeps coming back with offers, last message reads:

Would u accept that offer direct to pp and not via eBay to avoid you paying fees?

Would you just block her and move on!

    Yes as if you sell to her now, expect a request for a discount after she gets it, as there will bound to be something wrong with it.
  • last time this happened and I blocked the bidder her sister bought the item and trashed my stars!
    I don't like blocking people for that reason...
    I guess I have the email thread to back me up now...

    I treat customers the way I want to be treated, if you try and please idiots then you either need to accept you work that way and sell to those people and hope for the best or don't be held hostage.

    That last request makes no difference as regards your protection. I usually get suggestions like that straight away, as I have sold quite pricy goods and it's a significant saving for the buyer.
    Depends on what you are selling and how much for really
