I sell plants on e-bay, and let me tell you, you get lots of bad buyers too. I've dealt with it myself, people who don't pay, who ask 25 questions about an item and never even bid on the item after all those questions. People who ask you if you'd list a "buy it now" auction so they can buy 8 of something and then never buy even one. I had one lady complain that she killed her begonia three months after the auction, she had never left feedback on the item. I shipped her a replacement--at my cost, and then she still left me negative feedback "first one died, replacement seems a little better". After I did all that! And the plants were fine to start with.
But that's what happens when you deal with people, especially ones you don't really know. Some you get along with, and some you don't, I guess.
