Vinted buyer WWYD?

I had a top for sale. A children's top for £2. I had a message asking if the print was the kind that peels off and a request for a close up photo. Then an offer of £1. I declined and they bought full price. Now I've had a message requesting that I recheck the item for any faults before sending. As though I didn't do that before uploading the item.
This is the first time I've had anything like this from a buyer. I get the impression they will be raising an issue when it arrives or claim it didn't arrive.
I'm getting a bad vibe. £2 and all these requests.
Is this common?

Maybe they have just been stung in the past? It is at least £5 for them with postage and maybe they have had a few useless purchases recently.

I had someone contacting me the day after the sale asking if I was going to send the item but it all turned out fine although I thought it was weird at the time.

Good point. I hope you're right.

My DD buys a lot on Vinted and a few have had flaws which were disappointing- one lovely vintage dress turned out to have a very obvious stain in the same place back and front. But that was a £15 purchase and the seller gave her a refund without quibble and said to keep it anyway.
She does ask questions though, usually about measurements (length of skirt for example). And sometimes for more pics as many are not very good. And it's very annoying to get a 'fits size 12' and it arrives and the label says 16 (and fits a 16)!
So the questions are valid, your buyer obviously had issues in the past.
