I really don't think you can know what ebays algo does or doesn't do. I don't think even ebay knows all it can or can't do.

This made me chuckle. :pound:

I didn't think they could do this either.

:rant: <- These buyers? Certainly not! :lol: Those are the craziest of the crazies so I just read through ALL their messages because you never know which message contains actionable instructions; eg "Please cancel my order", etc.

So no, I wouldn't respond to every single one, I'd just respond to one but I reference all the issues raised across all messages.

I never cave to pressure to 'send more photos', 'change address' or 'ship out faster'.

If I smell trouble, I politely ask if I can cancel the order to give the buyer time to check with other sellers who might meet their needs.
And yes, I go on to block troublesome buyers especially if their feedback 'left for others' looks like a bloodbath.
