I have seen this three times in the last 30 days.

It funny you mention this as that same thing happened to me for the first time a couple of days ago. The buyer did fix the payment and went through, but I guess it is something new now.
I clicked on the buyers profile and there was no way for me to contact him. Three times in a month from different buyers. It is very odd
Maybe people are going around putting in limited gift card or prepaid credit cards so they can bid or make offer on things and they run out of credit on purpose so they can just review all the offers theyāre blasting out, etc.
This sale is getting cancelled right? Iāve never had this happen beforeā¦
EDIT: Yep, just got the cancel, surprised it took him 20min. Why not just say you screwed up the offer?

Tell them theyāre too broke to be buying comics and should save the money they apparently donāt haveā¦ 
I just had a guy send multiple (auto rejected) offers of $100 followed by a $175 (auto rejected) offer for my Hulk 340 Newsstand (VF) signed by McFarlane.
Iād add screen shot but the forums say I canāt embed media items in a post.
What browser are you using? Firefox has a pretty neat feature that lets you right click on an image and copy it. Then you can just paste it into the forum without saving the image to your computer or uploading it to an image host. You can take screenshots that way too. Great for people who has trouble posting images.
Itās not the browser, trust me.

I get tired of the people who message me with offers when I specifically make my listings as buy it now without the offer feature activated. If I wanted offers, Iād have it set up that way. I donāt even reply back anymore.

When people ask me, āWhatās the best you can do?ā I usually use it as an opportunity to upsell. Iāll tell them the least Iād normally acceptā¦and then add if I have multiple copies of that comic or other comics they might like the lowest price dips down a little lower the more they buy. āItās $20 at least for A, but if you also buy some B and C, then everything is just $14 each.ā It has worked enough times for me that I consider it a good strategy.
I learned long ago, when going into negotiations, never be the first one to throw out a number. Let the other person be the first.
