He bid for a boombox but didn’t pay. Three days later I get this message in Russian. Fairly pathetic protest method if you ask me, but it’s his right to protest. I’ve never been called a walrus bitch before so that’s a new one lol
EBay bidder to block yudiac-31

Yeh made me laugh that one, might start using it
Lets not talk about the origin country and them driving prices to stupidity. Totally wouldn't be surprised if it's a fake account of the guy trying to sell his stuff at plain daft prices and getting fame for having a shop full of heaven sent radios.
It gets worse too…he’s sent me three further messages detailing high end boxes he would actually buy from me. Like I’m gonna sell a high end box to someone with zero feedback, doesn’t pay for one he won, and calls me a walrus bitch lol
Why block? Just report to eBay, on phone if need be and get his account shuttered. Clearly he bid for the express and sole purpose of not-paying. Besides, it's totally stupid because it has zero effect. Besides YOU, nobody else will see his protest statement, and ergo, have zero effect. There's more effective ways of protesting, but this isn't it.
He's probably just pretending to protest. In reality he just changed his mind about your box. That's why he expressed interest in your other boxes.
Apparently he didn't realize that he can simply say "I don't want it anymore" if he asks nicely enough, the seller can agree to cancel the sale. Then he wouldn't have gotten a strike on his record.

His intent was to drive the price up then in stupidity to also try and get grails cheap. That's what they've been doing for years.
Did both. Blocked him as I have no faith in eBay doing the right thing…they’ll probably just give him a warning. Yeh I’m not really sure what his motive was, I think he might just sad or mad, who knows
walrus bitches! 
It is plural. So he meant all the boombox sellers from all over.

In 50 years Si, this comment may be considered classic writing akin to Oscar Wilde. I might save and use the last line for when I file my taxes.....
Oh, if a buyer make a purchase and changed his mind, it's indeed not for certain that eBay will do anything. But if you call and tell them to "read" his complaint, I think there will be a different outcome because it will be immediately apparent that it had nothing at all to do with your boombox or the sale whatsoever.
