I think you did the right thing. And if you felt so inclined, you could even tell them you were, at the least, put off by the discount request AFTER you put in extra effort to test the item for a specific function and they said they'd buy it. I recently negotiated a discounted price and local pickup (in lieu of shipping) for a relatively fragile item I wanted. I was up front in asking for a discount, the seller was agreeable, and we had a seamless transaction.

I sold books, usually in lots. My description was usually "These are used books and may have some creasing to covers, yellowing pages, and names or numbers written inside. If any of the books are in worse condition, eg, torn or loose pages, heavy staining, etc, or heavy wear, I'll put a description on that book" (I always listed the books in the description). It wasn't often, but I'd still get questions. Are there torn pages? Are the books falling apart? I'd usually respond to please read my description. I don't list things that aren't wrong with the books. I usually didn't block them until they sent me more stupid questions.

I had an item for just under $20 that I put on sale at a whopping 50% off. Less than an hour later I get a message saying seven dollars. Nothing else, just that. I responded by thanking them for their interest, and saying that I had just put the item at 50% off, which was already a great price. And that I would accept nothing less than the current sale price, stating it to the penny. What happened? Two hours later I got a second message from them, eight dollars. At which point I was absolutely sure of what I had suspected before. Namely that I never wanted to sell them anything because I would only regret it. So on the block list they went, all for less than three dollars while already saving ten!

I had a Denon receiver listed for $35 parts only. Big sucker, very heavy. Guy from Poland messages me asking what state it was in. I followed his request and reported the results. He said shipping costs were prohibitive (true), and could I remove HDMI board and ship just that (like it was 2 screws to remove it- it wasnt) Sent him pictures. Told him I wasnt willing to take the time and risk to take it apart (Knowing the probable outcome), and to just take it whole or not at all. Thought I was done with him, but he messaged me one last time with another request. He asked if I could bring it to a friend of his in England who would be willing to remove the board.

Sounds like you have a bulging disc in the back. Two suggestions: get a velcro back brace to wear when you're going to be on your feet a while or lifting items. This gives your back some support and an opportunity to heal. Also, try the McKenzie Method exercises, specifically the one that is like a pushup from the hip up. This helps the bulging disc shift back into the correct position.

I don’t generally block people. It’s just not in my nature. I have had a few that I thought would be problems but in the end, they became repeat customers. It’s really how you approach the whole issues. We can’t assume everyone is a jerk because they ask questions. There are some cautious consumers out there that just want to be sure they are getting what they are looking for and not being swindled. Still everyone runs their business different. I have maybe 4 people I have blocked in my years on eBay only because they were just “A”holes. Dave, I hope your back gets better! Happy New Years to you and your family!

When it comes to buyers asking questions, I just mostly ignore them. Usually, when I answer the questions, I don’t make the sale anyways. It’s always cheap stuff too.

At that point, they can go buy the book brand new from B&N because I’m not doing all that work for a $15 book.
