Hey guys!
A few members have suggested that it'd be a lot easier for those members who use the Buy/Sell/Trade section of BtVSFigs if it contained two transaction threads (one for successful transactions and the other for unsuccessful transactions) instead of just one. So, I've taken their advice and have created two separate threads.
This is the thread where you list your unsuccessful transactions.
To stop the thread from getting too large (which can still cause some difficulty), please only post once, and simply add to your list of unsuccessful transactions by modifying your post.

Under no circumstantances should you trade/buy from the following:
WILLOW - DO NOT BUY FROM! SHE STOLE MONEY! I could not recover any money and never received the item! SHE WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY!
xtinaslayer - items damaged
Shannon_Doherthy/Phoebe_Halliwell/Jenny Calendar - rude and does not follow up on trades > almost sent something and he at the last minute backed out
TatoodandnakedLindsay - never sent me the items - I sent a spellbook and and Anya and never received any in return
anyafan/drew/yourmothershopsatsaks - claimed to want to purchase two items, wanted me to wait, waited a month, then didn't want an item, and now has not sent a money order for the other item or contacted me about it.
Bad Swappers:
Little Willow - has particpated in many swaps and never sends gifts - or 'the post office messes up'. I've sent gifts to almost everyone she's ever had to send to and it's begun to add up....
Cordanya - never sent a gift to his swap partner esc in the last swap though he received one.
Unhappy with:
Firerancher- very very nice person, great communication - but I paid $55 for 5 palz and some cards (1 palz and the cards were 'free') and supposedly the palz for $10 each - so I either paid for the 5 palz and paid $5 shipping (of which shipping was less than that) or paid $15 shipping. Make sure you set prices with this buyer before getting any commissions or items - I feel like I overpayed for what I got.

I haven't had any major tradgedies and I'm not out of pocket with anyone on the BtVSFigs board.
I have had cancelled transactions with these people:
eydylhands
I paid for his Spike bust. He messed up the postage and it still hadn't been re-sent after 5 weeks. He was very polite however and refunded me as soon as I asked him to.
Little Willow
Commissioned my 'Crazy-Pyjamas Tara' from 'Grave'. Didn't pay for 6 weeks (2 weeks over the agreed deadline), then told me she couldn't make the payment. It is now my policy to ask for payment in advance from new buyers.
Buffyville
We had a deal which stalled because of her troubles in Spring 2006. She had given me a partial payment for a custom but it was clear that the rest would not be forthcoming. I suggested that we cancel the deal and I refunded that payment. She responded immediately and there were no problems resolving it.
Willow
She asked for then cancelled several commissions before I made them. I still make commissions for her but I ask for payment in advance. I'm perfectly happy to deal with her on this basis.

xander000 - Agreed to purchase my Nick Brendon autographed copy of Psycho Beach Party. First he said he would pay via Money Order, then he said he would pay via PayPal. He never paid and he didn't answer my PMs about it.

Little Willow (Ashleigh Deriscavage) was sent figure parts in trade, but she never sent the item to me. She responded to a PM and said there was a delay, but then refused to reply to repeated PMs.
Chosen2 (Michael Cruz - no longer a member of this board) was sent a carded figure in trade, but never sent out his figure despite repeated emails saying he would. I asked for my original figure back but have not gotten any response to date.
I no longer do trades because of these two people. It's either cash sales or nothing.

Your mother shops at saks
I am a little peeved because I went out of my way to do a favor. Drew wanted me to order them something from bcc cause they are not a member. I told them I needed a money order or paypal before I could order it. Well they were pressuring me to go ahead and order BEFORE I recieved pmt, which I said I would NOT do. So finally I got the money order, but by the time I got it the free shipping deal was over, so the total was 9.00 more. I imed him about it. He was a little pissy and was saying well order now before the deal is over.. So I said, fine. Do you promise to put a money order in the mail tomorrow for the difference? He agreed.
Then , I get a nasty Pm like 4 days later saying, where is my package??? Insinuating I DIDNT order it, Well as you can imagine I was pissed, I forwarded them a copy of the invoice showing the items ordered and being shipped directly to them. I mean come on, I cant control WHEN BCC ships out your order? Im doing you a FAVOR!
So then I got a Pm saying they INTENTIONALLY had held back the 9.00 to wait til they RECIEVED items, Which is crap, Im out my money NOW. I got NOTHING out of this deal. I was just being nice to someone thats too cheap to get a membership and has alot of balls to BEG other people to do it for them and then RIP THEM OFF.
So here we are weeks after they RECIEVED their items, I am STILL out my money. And I havent gotten replys by pm or email. And they arent even showing up on IM (which means they probably blocked me).
This just goes to show DONT DO FAVORS, it gets you no where, I got nothing but aggravation from a ungrateful kid. This was for the customizers case which was on sale for like 25.00 , Well the deal had went up to 75.00, I emailed them and Kevin at bcc lowered the prices for me. This person wouldnt have even gotten this GREAT deal without me. They even commented that they got an extra free figure.
Nice, Glad you made out when I got ripped off.
Maybe I will use the address to get a phone # for them and call his parents....
-Val
****UPDATE****
I recieved a 10.00 bill in the mail today, I appreciate drew following through and paying me back.
-Val :-)

Little Willow (Ashleigh Deriscavage) I paid for two figures including postage on ebay, but they got lost in the post? She kept coming up with some crap about the post office sending them back to her, but I never got them and it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I also see I am not alone with this forum member, so beware people.

xander000 - Agreed to purchase my Nick Brendon autographed copy of Psycho Beach Party. First he said he would pay via Money Order, then he said he would pay via PayPal. He never paid and he didn't answer my PMs about it. I had a similar experience with Xander000. He told me several times last summer that he wanted to buy some of my accessories. I loaded them up and waited for payment or news of payment. He didn't respond to pms over a month. He PM'd me later saying he still wanted them, then didn't PM me for a couple of months until he said he wanted me to help him get LotP Lorne, since he's in Canada. I admire his displays, but would not do a transaction with him. |

After one very successful and friendly transaction, I have since had an unsuccessful transaction with buffyville. I have been waiting for a few weeks for my Hush Tara, and two or three PMs politely inquiring as to its whereabouts have yielded no response.
Bummer, too, 'cause I got rid of my Bad Moon Rising Tara expecting to receive Hush Tara, so now I don't have one at all.

I too am having problems with buffyville. I paid for 2 items over 2 months ago, and the last contact I had with her was a month ago. I have heard nothing since, and have received no items.

Val also owes me $45 for a Spike commission. I am completely unsatisfied with the transactions I have had with her. The one trade I did with her arrived broken and now this. I have a PayPal claim going to get my $45 back, but I don't know if it will amount to anything. She totally lied to my face (so to speak) on several occassions, by telling me the figure was ready and was being mailed. Never got a thing, and it is NOT due to postal problems! PAAALEEEZE!
Anne.

Yes, I have been concerned about Val too. I have several customs due from her and haven't heard from her personally since the beginning of May. I have been patient, as I know firsthand how personal crisises change your priorities. But, it would have been good to hear from her directly-that she was under stress. I will continue to wait in good faith and hope that things are going better for her. If anyone speaks to her directly, if they could please express our group concern.
Thanks!

Val hasn't been able to get on the board, but she has been very receptive to e-mails. I would suggest e-mailing her if you are concerned. She is a great person to deal with, she is just going through something right now.

She is a great person to deal with, she is just going through something right now. I have emailed her and on every single occassion she has responded to tell me that the "figure was going out in the mail". Still nothing. Sorry, but that is just unacceptable. If I had any kind of personal problem, I would, as a matter of propriety, email every single one of my clients to let them know there was going to be a delay. Val has not emailed me once. I have initiated all the contact. Anne. |

Well, at least some of you folks have heard from her. I have emailed her twice since these concerns have arisen and NOTHING! But, I agree with you Jess, this is not acceptable.
She owes me at least 4 customs that I can remember, it's been so long now. One is the Nikki Wood figure that she displayed in the customs thread way back when. I'm sure that many of us traded figures in kind with her for customs (like me!) , and therefore do not have recourse via paypal.
Sadly, I think we are at the point now where we need to do something in a unified group way. So, if anyone has any outstanding deals with her, could you please PM me.

I have a question for the Board How long was Val a member here - I don't remember her being here when I joined. It seems like she was here for a short period of time - made a big ruckus, made some money off the members here, and then split. Maybe it was a scam all along, or possibly she bit off more than she could chew with all the "wheeling and dealing" she did. After this experience, I will be very very careful about any new people here as to who I buy, sell or trade with. I am still pissed at Val for making me feel this way!  |
