Why do potential buyers/bidders think sellers care about their circumstances?

So I understand a buyer telling me he can't pay for a few days, or what have you. I'm not concerned for the reason, just want to know when payment will happen. Buyers explain the reasons so that we understand, that makes sense. But what I don't get.....

Time to put a fork in me

Resolved! Why does Ebay want to change/decide everyone's calculated shipping settings?
