What is with some buyers as of late

ok this has started happening alot lately.

I make an auction, it gets bid on, it gets bid on again, then out of no where someone asks me how much for this many of that auction item..

I answer cautiously as always in this instance.. for example.

Auction :
Auction is for a 4 fl oz. portion of nice sized Red Root Floaters,Phyllanthus fluitans. To clarify, a 4 fluid ounce portion is a volume measurement, not a weight measurement. Red root floater gets its name from the red roots that develop when the plant matures with high light conditions. The root structure is perfect for fry to hide in. It is a great plant for those who want to steer away from the common floating weeds, such as duckweed/frogbit and salvinia. The plant is easier to control than those listed above. It loves ferts especially NPK but also needs some trace and a good amount of iron. Iron adds to its red colors and encourages flowering.
auction is for one portion but you may buy additional portions for 3.40 each with NO ADDED SHIPPING COST.
Shipping is included with your Bid on this.. You pay exactly what you Bid. Auction is for one portion but you may buy additional portions at the price mentioned above with NO ADDED SHIPPING!
I do combine auctions, so if you win more than one of our "Free Ship" plant auction I will send you a paypal invoice that will be significantly LESS than the sum of your bids. Thank You!!

Question:I'd like to buy 5 cups of these, please let me know the total price and your paypal payment info, thank you

My response: five volume cups or 5 X 4 fl oz portions?? I think I have
five full volume cups ( 8 fl oz each) available but need to
be sure of which you mean please and thank you. Also this deal for is for bidders... you would need to
bid on the auction to get that price.. but they are available on
my website for the 3.40 per cup ( NOT VOLUME BUT 4 FL OZ "CUPS") with actual shipping cost to
you location at

If you just wanna do a fast purchase.

ALWAYS the next response from buyer is one of two

A) THEY IGNORE THE STATEMENTS I MADE : ok whats your email for payment

OR

B) THEY ARE CONFUSED COMPLETELY: I see. I mean, why not just give me a price and let me pay you? whats the problem?

HAS Auction completely LOST its entire definition??? and am I speaking in a foreign language?? I am now confused and maybe pissy but kinda over this email exchange cause it happens a couple times a week now.. Somebody please try to talk me down.. lol
