The Ghost Buyer

Lately I've had disappearing buyers. All have been on Etsy. I feel like someone on Etsy should create milk cartons with pictures of MIA buyers on the sides of them and sell those.

These "buyers" contact me asking to edit shipping/reserve shit. I also have problems at times with idiots that  do "buy" and 10 minutes later, cancel the transaction.

One missing person was from Singapore, she asked me about a pair of (surprise!) ponies, which I reserved for her at her request after editing the shipping costs on the listings so she could have combined shipping at the correct cost for the two. A week later I still hadn't heard from her, so I took them off hold. Fuck it, and fuck her.

A few weeks ago I had someone ask me about lowering the price on a teddy bear I had on there, I lower the price and edit the shipping and the bitch disappears.

Today, I had someone ask about same teddy bear, and in addition, a doll. I ask her if she wants me to reserve and edit, "yes". I reserve them and edit the listings, and haven't heard from her since...here we go again.
