Anyone ever had a Chinese seller offer you money to cancel an order?

Just received this message regarding a cheap item I won in an auction...

auction final price might be lower than chinaman expected or... he is selling cheap stuff to gain feedback and will lose money shipping to you so he's trying to find a deal losing just 1$

Couple year old account with TRS. Probably just didn't wanna sell it that cheap. Can't blame him!

NO. He shipped it out.

That's really weird... was he just trying to get good feedback and selling at a loss?

It was an auction, that ended low. I've just never seen anyone reach out with a message offering money to cancel. And who knows how many 100s of 1-10 cent auctions I've won.
