She would not be getting a discount in a store with a story of hardship.

Whether it is true or not, you are here to sell your goods in the same way as a bricks and mortar store is run.

You have expenses (eBay and Paypal fees, your time) and need to factor in a profit margin you are happy with.

I would not be ending listings early after an approach like this, for multiple items.

One, maybe, but not several.

This story is also a familiar one.


If it were me, I would suggest to her that she might pick one item, at a price you, the seller are comfortable with, as a once only thing.

Or nothing at all but an I am sorry, but no.

Do not sell off eBay either but relist at the agreed price only if you do that. Do not agree to any ending early and payment outside eBay.

That reply would end it I think.
