Have You Ever Been Glad A Buyer Cancelled and Order Or, in Some Cases, Their Order Arrived Damaged?

I’ve had two of these happen to me.

A very, very fussy buyer bought a radio off me after a lot of back and forth. They asked loads of questions and it seemed to be getting to the point where the head-pecking was outweighing the payout. Buyer cancelled in the end, stating that they’d found a better deal. Thank god. I could sense the “partial refund” request brewing. Blocked them.

Another was a cup. Buyer who expected Amazon Next Day Delivery speeds because this £1.00 mug was a birthday present. Again, lots of head-peckery from them. Mug is sent and arrived broken. Buyer was very devastated and descriptive in their request for a refund. Turns out it wasn’t even for a birthday, they were just impatient. I was smugly glad it broke. Not my proudest moment.
