First time sale for a home collection and buyer seems rude! | Selling

Hi, I've finally sold an item after several months and it's my first sale with home collection. Problem is, the buyer does not seem polite! I told them I'd need their collection code, and I also told them how to find me but they have neither acknowledged or thanked me. I may as well have shouted into a black hole! I have anxiety (diagnosed), so this situation is particularly worrisome for me. Has any of you faced a similar situation? What do you advise I do here? Just chalk it up to a customer with poor comms, apparent lack of manners and push through with the sale regardless then block them from future purchases? Alternatively, perhaps I could just cancel the purchase and block them?
