Oh I like the idea of the gourd colored baby tadpoads! I think they would be popular as well.. and awesome to have out for fall!
First off thank you everyone for your feedback. It makes me feel supported and appreciated as a part of this community.
I did start the dispute process with paypal. The first thing is they have me email the seller which a copy is given to them. The seller did get back to me the next day. I will sum up the message she sent. She informed me that while she was able to log into Windstones website, she claims the site was unable to let her see her messages. So she did not get my message. She also said she mailed out my item, and when she got home, she would provide me with the tracking information. This message was sent Saturday morning.
It is now Tuesday evening and no tracking information has been sent.
I am baffled.. and confused. So lets be realistic here. This is me venting now..
If I was a seller, had an item sitting in my house that a buyer paid for in full one month ago.. and after a couple of inquiries sent by the buyer as to when I was mailing out their item had been sent to me.. I would update them with some sort of explanation.. or at least an apology for the continued delay. Especially if I said I was mailing it out on a certain day and could not follow through. Even if I couldn’t see my Windstone messages. Especially considering we have each others email information. It also seems like an excuse that she is unable to see her messages on this site.. but log in to the site still. That seems odd.
Another point I have that I find odd. Paypal is now involved in getting a copy of our messages. The messages are delivered through paypals resolution centre. This is the time when the seller replies. What is really odd.. is she took the time to reply in a couple of sentences, but is not able at the time of replying to include the most key part of information.. the tracking number.
I have mailed out a couple of items for members here for a Christmas swap and the tadpoad swap. When I mailed them out I was given a tracking number at that moment. It was emailed to me.. and I was also given a print out with the number on it. Why she didn’t include it in her message from the start and telling me she would have it to me later that night.. has me thinking she did not mail it out yet like she said she did on Saturday morning. She is after all emailing me at the time.. she just had to look at the email sent to her with the tracking number while she messaged me.
I just don’t see things adding up. I cant tell if the seller is scamming me.. or just extremely flakey and lazy about mailing out items. Either way I am concerned. I have decided that I will wait until either this Friday or Monday for the seller to provide the tracking number. If she can not.. then I will continue on the next step, which is Paypal contacting her and stepping in to get my money refunded. Again not the solution I hope I will need to resort to.
I only got the one that the GB Wolves were in stock.. but didn’t get the one that the limited was lifted. It worked out okay cause I was checking the store regularly to see if they had been listed as I was anxiously excited to adopt one!
Congratulations everyone on receiving such beautiful foxes! My Wolf is peacefully sitting next to me at the moment looking out my patio at my plants out there. I think each Grab Bag batch is getting more fantastic with each one released.
Okay so update. I heard back from the seller through paypals messaging service. She now says she has as of today has mailed out my package and later tonight will provide tracking information. So we will see.. if she actually does provide the tracking number as indication that she did in fact mail out the item. So lets all hope she has done that.. I really don’t want to be in a conflict with a member on here. The positive thing is paypal keeps a record of all your communication through their resolution department. So if someone says.. I will mail out something and provide a tracking number they have to follow through as paypal is also aware of their actions.. which makes me feel better.. and all information is collected to proceed with a dispute is it goes to that level.
Funny how a message through paypal finally motivated them a month later to mail out my purchase. If they provide a tracking number tonight.. then I will be a little more relieved. I will not close the claim though until the item arrives.
Advice so far from what I have learned for anyone that goes down this path.. which I hope doesn’t happen..
As Kim said.. before paying for an item on the classifieds.. discuss when the seller will be mailing it out. Have them email this message to you.
In my case I selected buying for goods and services when sending the seller the money. I strongly suggest you do this as it protects you if you should need to open a claim.
I only just thought of this last one.. if the seller does not appear on the feedback list.. ask them if they have sold to any other members here.. and perhaps contact those members as a reference? Or ask the seller to provide references for past transactions.. I think that sounds fair and I wish I thought of it at the time.
You made a good point Kim of setting a date with the seller in which they will mail out your item. The member that I bought a Unicorn Colt from on here.. like I said was super amazing and mailed my item out the next day. I am in the process of paying installments with her for a lovely Unicorn she is re-homing and she keeps in perfect contact with me after each payment is sent. That tells me that there are really good members on here that do follow through and care.
I will wait a few more days for the seller to respond through the paypal message I sent. Hopefully they will soon. Paypal sets a deadline for them to message me back. It makes me feel terrible having to start this process honestly but I think it is the right choice.
I am not trying to sound like a negative part of the community. It has just been exhausting as of late. First I had a string of aggressive messages demanding I sell pieces that I posted pictures of when participating in grab bags. Same thing happened when I won a raffle. Then there was the issue when I hosted a swap. Everyone received their poads.. but one member who had struggles getting hers sent out to her which was discouraging. I took a break came back and decided to get back on the board and support local members here rather than ebay sellers. Just my luck I buy from a seller here that is not making an attempt to mail out my piece.
I am just drained out from the bad experiences. I must attract bad luck lol. I am also struggling with the shock of a friends son’s death. He was 16 years.. just stepping out in life.. growing into a young man. He committed suicide recently. There are no words to describe this loss. No words. Its a nightmare.
I messaged dragonmedley the sellers name. I also opened up a case on the paypal resolution site. They have you send the person an email as the first step. I have not done this before.. so it is a new experience. Paypal gets a copy of the email. I am asking for a full refund. With what I have to deal with on my plate.. I think this is the best solution for me.
Trying to feel that this is a good community to be a part of. I keep reminding myself of the good experiences here. I am just back to being discouraged again. I am uncomfortable posting pictures of purchases, not hosting another swap, now I am uncomfortable buying from sellers on the classifieds without seeing their name on the positive feedback list.. and only from those members.
I have already contacted dragonmedley with my situation.. .I referred to her by mistake as a moderator. She is just waiting for me to forward the name. I am conflicted as this member I have the situation with is an active part of the community. She was last on 3 days ago. I think tonight I will pass on her name to dragonmedley.
In response to your statement GardenNinja I do think at some point a moderator or someone else that looks after this site.. should be involved though in dealing with members that list items here for sale, take money and do not follow through with mailing out the item. I think said members should be banned from the site or at the very least from being able to list items. Either way.. thank you for your reply.
Hi everyone!
My adopted wolf arrived today. He is beautiful and I am very happy with him. He looks to be the brother of Linda’s Wolf with the feathers on him and he matches my foxes quite well. Mine has feathers all the way down his back, and tail.. they start off deep russet.. fading to gold.. then turning to silver and a champagne colour at the tips. He is very elegant looking. I am very happy with him!
Hello right back to you Ela_Hara! Looks like yourself, Angelica_Zen and myself are going wolf crazy.. and there isn’t even a full moon insight!
