Buyer making multiple accounts after cancelled order

I've been selling some of my old clothes on eBay recently and last week I had a buyer make quite a low offer on something I was selling. I accepted because I just wanted everything gone but soon after I received a message from the seller trying to haggle because they decided they didn't like the colour and wanted to dye it. I refused to go any lower, cancelled the order and relisted.
The buyer sent a message saying they'd still like the item and made another offer (the same as the original offer that I accepted), I didn't want to accept this time as I could see this buyer finding a reason to try and get me to refund some money once it had arrived just because they wanted it cheaper so I declined the offer.
Since then I've had multiple messages from them telling me I'm dishonest and nasty for not letting them have it, they've also used 3 other accounts to make lower offers and sent messages from them saying they really like the colour (!!) and why I should let them have it cheaper.
I ended the listing on Thursday last week in the hope that she'd leave me alone and resisted last night.
This morning I've had an offer from another one of her accounts which I've declined and now she's sending me messages about my other listings.

I've put all of the accounts that she's used so far on my blocked buyers list but I have no idea how many she'll have. I'm just worried she's going to start buying my stuff and I'll have to cancel all the orders. Will that impact my account? Has anyone had a buyer like this? I'm hoping I've got nothing to worry about but it's playing on my mind a bit.

Update just in case someone else has the same kind of trouble:
I just called eBay and they've said if I need to cancel any orders they make I just have to say that the buyer wanted to cancel/problem with their address and I won't get a mark on my account. They're also going to look into their accounts and suspend them if they find they're all connected to the same person. Such a huge relief!

Glad it's sorted O/P. For what it's worth I've always found ebay really helpful with stuff like this.

I had a buyer who went mental at me for using a particular postage service (even though I'd said in the listing that's what I would do) and they were really helpful.

What a psycho OP! You don't want her buying anything from you, or any of us for that matter!

Some people are weird.

I hate an item on auction and received a message offering me a lower price which I agreed and said I would change the listing to accept an offer.

I then received an offer from them for a lot less than agreed so I rejected it and blocked them as I wasn't going to play games and no longer wanted to deal with them as I could foresee problems ahead.

I then got a message saying 'You never had to block me' to which I replied that I wasn't going to play games and didn't want to be messed about. I then removed the listing.

A few weeks on I relisted it and sold immediately to someone else with no messing about.
