Help, bad bead seller

May 06, 2004 30 Replies

Kalera, after sending my e-mail this afternoon telling her I was to put a search on the money order, I finally got an e-mail from her. She said she never received it. Why she ignored my 5 previous mails I don't know. I will be at the post office tomorrow first thing in the morning.

Thank you for your insight. Denise

I never saw her post on WC, nor here... I don't know for the other boards as I don't read there often enough. Now that she answered my mail this afternoon, after one month, we'll see what will happen. I will keep you posted.

Thank you all, you are great!!!!! Denise

vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "patch" :

]so now, I will do like you, choose within the group ]instead so I won't be burned twice.

i've never regretted a single purchase.

[which is one reason i don't use the links list much to find things like that.]

To Beck Bead: I've also purchased beads on the web...with good luck.. But I went thru one well known (I think) seller who I'd purchased thru before. We had a good e-mail communication and I sent $35.00 thru Pay Pal for some beads and a pattern that were to be air mailed to me. She's in BC so I gave it a few weeks...nothing..I e-mailed her, nothing..I've tried 5 times, and no answer. I e-mailed PayPal and because my purchase was 30 days previous all they would do was to write a complaint about her. I've been back on her web page..she's very actively changing it, so she's around. I can't get her phone #, she won't answer my e-mails and I want my money back or the beads. If you want me to e-mail you her address I will, and see if you can get thru to her. Any help at this time would be appreciated.

Thank you, Petol (Liz Toland)

No, that one is in Canada. I will let you know the outcome. Denise

Agh...I don't have any patience for the "too much on her plate" sorta shirking.. you either handle your responsibilities or you don't, you know what I mean? If she can't handle so many sales in a timely fashion, she shouldn't sell so much. And how hard is it to send an EMAIL???

Yeah, ignoring five emails is out of hand and unacceptable! She should have at least communicated with you that she hadn't received it, so you would have known "gee, maybe I'd better go see if I can track that money order and make sure it hasn't been cashed".

Of course, I'm gonna be honest here and say that after the non-response, I wouldn't be surprised if she HAS gotten it.

Liz -- send her a letter through the mail (the same address where you sent your money) demanding the beads or a return of your payment, or you will take legal action. Tell her that you do not appreciate your emails not being returned.

Then, go through all the links that Ebay offers for problems with sellers and complain to them all. That is how I got my product mailed, finally.

denise -- I don't see anything from you in my mail. Let's wait until the morning. AOL seems to work better in the light (unlike me!)

That's what I think too... but I can't believe someone can do that on purpose...Well, when you have customers, you try to keep them happy, in my opinion. I won 3 of her auctions before and then ordered those 3 beads from her web site. I could have become a faithful follower... not anymore.
