Deary me another champion today...
Got an item listed at £700. Message received asking for more photos of specific parts.
Fair enough but had loads of timewasters on it - so specifically responded 'can you confirm that you know its collection only and that the price is fixed, as I've had lots of timewasters making lowball offers'
Got another reply back asking for specific photos. This morning I make the effort to take them and sending through.
An hour later.... 'it's nice but I'm not paying £700. How about £400?'
Yeah, mate how about do one and get blocked!1 -
Whilst I agree this is annoying, it is ultimately the cost of doing business. Sometimes the reasons for cancellation are genuine, but buyers do have a right to request a cancellation.
I am not saying that I agree with the shear amount, but it should be factored into account when listing an item to sell1 -

Since I often moan about bad experiences here thought I'd provide a good one too - I had an INR last week and refunded in full as it was sent second class large letter and no tracking. Item has turned up today and buyer has paid for it.
On the downside, they've had to pay extra postage (which I have refunded) despite me measuring and weighing that it was within the RM large letter limits which is a bit annoying. First time i've had that with an item despite often being on the boundaries with things I send.0
