Not being unreasonable at all. Have been selling solidly for a few months as doing a massive clear-out and have never had so many problems with scammers and wasters as this Jan/Feb.

This is why I always end up ebaying for a bit and then going off eBay for about a year.

I haven't sold on ebay for 3 years because of problems with buyers. I have always only ever sold new or worn once items of clothing at a reasonable price (Just to get rid of them). Have had a host of buyers claiming their parcels haven't arrived, despite me paying over the odds for next day delivery. One charmer e mailed me to tell me she was reporting me to ebay because my post stated I would send 1st class recorded (It was a genuine mistake which was still evident in the listing after the previous item I listed), despite me only charging £1.50 for p&p. The item was a brand new pair of girls's cargo pants, complete with tag, which was listed as 99p and bought for 99p. So in total the buyer had a brand new pair of Boden cargo pants for £2.49. Bloody Hell the way she kicked off you'd swear I had sent her a blood sodden pair of knickers! She had obviously received them - the day after posting. Some people are just not worth the time of day! Its a shame really, as e bay used to be a worthwhile place to sell quality items...
