Dear Buyer,
I’m afraid I rather think that is your problem, not mine. Whoever was using your account bid twice on this and I could have sold it to a genuine seller. As it is I now have a final value fee on my account.
I am open to suggestions, but I am not prepared to cancel the item without some recompense.

Dear Buyer,
I disagree. Your password is your responsibility.
Unfortunately, you leave me no option but to refer this to Ebay as a breach of your account.

I have lost a genuine sale and incurred a final value fee because you cannot operate your account properly.
Why should I be out of pocket because of you?
What good will it do? Ebay can suspend your account and at least stop you doing it to anyone else.
You can either now pay me what you owe me or I report it as an unpaid transaction.

Please don’t swear at me. Foul language will not solve anything.
You will recall that I said I was open to suggestions, but you refused point blank to be reasonable about this.
However, in view of your rude behaviour that offer is now withdrawn.
You have four days in which to pay in full or I will refer it to Ebay.

I have not once been rude to you, which is sadly more than can be said for you.
I offered you the chance to make a suggestion and your reply, and I quote, was “i aint paying for it”.
You asked the question “What good will it do?” and I answered it.
I do not propose to enter into any further correspondence with you on this.
