Buying Privileges - OKSelling Privileges - OK
Store: The Rolling Bricks
Person buys for 8.09 euro in parts and 3.75 euro for shipping. Total amount of
11.84 euro paid with PayPal (Onsite). Order placed at 19:42.

Buyer messages me 40 minutes later "if it would be possible to cancel the
order and give a full refund."

I ask: "Can I ask for the reason?"

Buyer replies: "Money is a bit tight at the moment."

Ofcourse I will cancel with a full refund, but pretty odd situation...

Instead of posting, you should be happy 11€ not being a problem to you.

It might be one of your ‘funny’ moments but you are not 100% sure it is for him
as a seller.

Also he will loose time and some unnecessary money with this transaction.

Sometimes you need to know when not to response on forumpost, I think this is
one of them.
And if you feel the urge to respond you could also say something like ‘good for
you for the order cancel in this case’.

Wow. Didn't see such a passive aggressive reaction coming...

(But on topic: why pay 11 euro and ask for a refund 40 minutes later? I get it
you don't want to pay or can't pay 11 euro. Nothing to judge there. But
actually paying and asking for a full refund is just strange.)

Absolutely not, that's the point, I don't see why it'd be abnormal.

We're all subject to desires, wishes and consumption (especially as this
world is built for it).

Then you click for a wish, a Xmas gift (so simple, a few clicks)... and then
realize you simply can't afford it.

You've be humiliated to HAVE to ask for a refund.

Now if the person reads this he sees "Some customers ....", some customers
are, what a pain?

Isn't enough for a buyer to have to (quickly) ask to cancel?

+1 "you should be happy 11€ not being (much of) a problem to you"

On the positive side, at least it was quick and they didn't wait for you
to pick and pack it. Or worse still, post it.
