Lol... you got off easy! Many buyers will claim that you shipped them a brick and get a full refund leaving you with no item and no money!

I rarely sell on eBay but I demand that people have 100 feedback, no negatives, and more than 10 years on eBay. Probably costs me some money on the prices but I’ve never had a problem.

Im curious how this works, if they have negatives, do you just cancel the sale once they've won?
I write the requirements in my listing. If I get a bid from any such person I cancel it. If I get a bid sniper who doesn’t meet the criteria at the end I cancel the sale and specify that it was for not meeting criteria.
I've had it done to me in the last year, so I'm pretty sure it's possible.
