But as a buyer, I’ll ask a question and ghost on the regular. Usually I’m just thinking about it, but is that above board? I think it’s fine, but I ghosted a seller recently and felt weird about it for some reason.

For me it is the interaction that makes me decide.
As a buyer if I ask a question and they respond timely with an answer (that is key, cuz they don't always answer the question).
But if they wait 3-5 days to answer my question or can't be arsed or make an answer up #### it I ghost.
In short, if the exchanges have been polite and kinda what I expected or wanted I will always give the courtesy of saying I'm not interested.
