What would you do, as a buyer, in this situation?

I know it sounds mean, but people return things all the time. When you're the buyer, you spend your money how you want. Maybe she got into a fenderbender and the money that would've been free to purchase a snake with will be better used for fixing her car? Nobody knows. Other peoples' money is their business, not mine.

Everything else aside, ball python breeders are not WalMart with return policies that allow for returning something if someone changes their mind. If I ever sell a snake online and, after receiving the money but before sending the snake, the buyer tries to back out, then I have to think that I would say sorry, no deal. This is making me think of putting a clause in my TOS that says that once I receive payment that the sale is then final and the snake will be shipped at my nearest convenience. If someone spent money that they couldn't afford, then I'm sorry (no I'm not) but that isn't my problem.
