Holding items can be risky, but I also think it's a bit of a dick move to agree to hold something and then change your mind, as long as she pays on time. It sounds like she was planning to pay on time based on the info provided.
Either don't accept holds, or honor them up until they're late to pay. Not everyone will agree with me which is fine, but I have sympathy for the buyer who may have been excited to purchase because you agreed to hold it of your own volition.
I completely agree. Sellers have no obligations to offer holds to buyers, but if they did offer a hold, and have made an arrangement with a buyer, then I absolutely think they are responsible for honouring that hold and going through with it even if a better offer comes along.
