Serial cancellers, how should we behave? | Selling on eBay

Hello everyoneFor quite some time now (it almost seems like a jinx) I keep finding myself dealing with people who make a regular purchase offer and then once the auction expires or just before it ends they ask, or rather sometimes arrogantly demand, that it be canceled.Now, granted that this thing, ridiculous as it may seem, is really getting me down to the point of almost making me want to give up (and I certainly haven't been selling since yesterday), in the end I decide to accept these cancellations and block the guy so I don't end up dealing with items that once shipped and delivered maybe with a nice hammer blow become magically "not as described" or something similarOf course I know ebay also has the "refuse" option and I'm always tempted, but I swear not so much for a purely financial matter that is sometimes laughable, as for a matter of principle, because I find these people disgusting and especially the fact that no serious action is taken and instead one way or another they get away with it despite all the nice waffle about rules, commitments, seriousness, etc.. that you read around.I would like to know whether it's just my impression or whether this stuff is really so widespread THANKS and I apologize for the rant..:-)
