well, the short answer is - the neg isn't all that important, but you were probably one of at least three people whom she stiffed and at least three people filed for fee refund, FVF. three of those, and a person gets NARU'd - eBay doesn't like to give us refunds. since it's been more than 45 days or so, you can't automatically get the FVF reversed even if she pays you.
the long answer is - i had one of these people last year - about 6 months to a year after she stiffed me for $4.00 because she was new and didn't want to send me a check because she didn't "trust" me, i got two pitiful and annoying e'mails from her asking if she could buy said item as she'd gotten kicked off eBay and was trying to get reinstated.
i ignored the first e'mail, hoping she'd slink back into whatever hole she crawled out of but noooo, she wrote again about it. just to get rid of her, i wrote her and said the item had long ago been resold. she then wrote a third time and asked if i would accept the payment, even though she knew i no longer had the item. and would i then write to eBay and explain that she had, in fact, paid me?
out of curiousity or masochism or something, i said okay, send the $. i wanted to see if she really would. lo and behold, $4.00 cash appeared in record time. i did write to eBay for her (and sent her a copy of the correspondence, so she would go away - which she did at that point). i told them that she had, in fact, finally made good on the $4.00 purchase and while i realized i probably couldn't get FVF reversed after that length of time, she did pay.
an actual human being wrote me from eBay, thanking me for taking the time to clarify the situation regarding that bidder. i suspect she had stiffed many, many people though, as she remains NARU to this day (and on my blocked bidder list forever).
so...that's what she is after, is getting her no-pays down to no more than 2. i can't honestly recommend that you spend much time on the whole thing, but i did out of curiousity and did actually end up getting paid twice for the same item - the original person who stiffed me and the final buyer. but i figured i earned her $4.00 spending the time writing to eBay for her. good luck with it!

thanks folks, I guess I will think about being nice if she would stop writing in caps and yelling at me, I take that from JACKSWEB,only! and if I have time and if .... but at least I now know what her plan is and how to block her if she gets out of hand.
Thanks

No point in wasting your time on this deadbeat, just block them on your email and bidders list.
dadofstickboy has given you the answer, good luck.
