So, I got an offer on a listing I had up.
I message to verify an adult signature requirement (USPS lost a $250 book last year between the Chicago post office and purchaser's home; I know this doesn't protect from claims, etc). I get a response of "as long as it's delivered before Sunday" response because he's leaving town. Few messages back and forth, and he tells me 1) eBay told him the expected date (tried to explain this is notoriously incorrect and just an estimate), 2) he then decides, "Oh I'm stupid, someone will be here, I'll pretty much probably be since I work from home".
So, me being risk averse - $9+ for signature, $20+ shipping EACH way, I decided to decline. (Would be just making a bit over what I paid out for the books in the lot.) He doesn't respond after my explanations, but his MOM has sent me messages ("you declined my son's offer", "can't you send to another address").
Am I just an old fart? I find this odd and funny. The original account (son) is from 2017, so I assume (yes, I know what assume means) he's at least 24 years old? (I AM a mom myself :)).
