Vinted - suspicious of buyer

Hi all. I have recently started selling various bits and bobs on vinted including baby clothes, my own clothes, bags and jewellery etc. I had a buyer who bundled 10 items of baby clothes (all different sizes ranging from newborn to 18 months) and asked me to reserve until Friday for payday. In the meantime, someone bought 2 of the items so I asked them to do their bundle again - assuming it would just be the 8 baby clothes items now. Instead they have again done a bundle of 10 items but added two unrelated items - a headband and measuring cups. Perhaps it's my suspicious mind overthinking it but does anyone else find this odd?

I had one where she wanted a bundle “for her sons birthday” but had to wait for payday. Then messaged to say she’d been made redundant and wouldn’t be able to buy them till the following week. I think it was a sob story and she wanted me to feel bad and send them for free.

I learnt my lesson never to reserve items again - there isn’t really any benefit to you as a seller.

I reserved something for someone with a sob story. Never again. I let her know when the reserve was over and said anyone can buy this now. No reply.
It sold really quickly, but I’m not doing that again.

I sell stuff cheaply, don't discount, don't sell bundles or reserve.
Most stuff sells quickly and if it doesn't it goes in the once a year car boot sale.

Anything that isn't "very good" just goes to the charity shop anyway.
