Enter Speed Bump #2

I would actually like to reclassify this as Pot Hole #1....

The other day I posted that Michelle had gotten on awesome deal on our wedding invitations (if you missed it you can catch up here.) Well, we have been having problems contacting the seller - and by problems I mean we email her and she does not reply. Here are some of the messages....

Dear coopersmom1102,

Will you combine shipping with the other listing of this kit?

Dear dtree754,
Absolutely! I only charge actual shipping costs!
Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Great we are off to a good start....

Dear coopersmom1102,
Awesome! I just won both of your auctions. Please invoice me the total with the combined shipping cost and I will pay ASAP. Thanks again!- dtree754

Dear coopersmom1102,
Have not heard back from you...can you please send me an invoice so I can pay you? Thanks!
- dtree754

Hmmm what's going on? 

Dear coopersmom1102,
Not sure what happened? Been trying to get a hold of you. Hope all is will. Still waiting for updated invoice for the 2 invitation auctions. - dtree754

We gave in and paid the lady....

Dear coopersmom1102,
Just sent you payment for the 2 auctions. Not worried about the combined shipping. - dtree754

Dear coopersmom1102,Hello! When should I expect you to ship the invitations. They are for my wedding and I need to get them out in the mail to my guests like yesterday...lol

FINALLY A RESPONSE LAST NIGHT......


Dear dtree754,
We lost everything in our back room due to the rain and a roof leak. I am sorry. I just have my pc back today and u can imagine, my ebay acct was last on my list. I no longer have the invites. Sorry

Oh wow...and what about the money we sent her....

Dear coopersmom1102,

Sorry to hear that could you please send my refund asap. Thank you

- dtree754

Dear dtree754,
I'm sorry I wasn't aware that u paid already. Absolutely. I will do first thing in am. 

Dear coopersmom1102,
Need you to refund. You said first thing in the morning and we are now in the afternoon. Please refund by the end of the day or I will needed to open a problem ticket. 
Thanks!

Dear dtree754,
No problem! Paypal website was down this am. Should have emailed you. Sorry. 

We are still waiting to get that refund. Seems like her 94% feedback record is for a reason. She has quite a few upset customers that she seems to have excuse after excuse for.

Well back to the drawing board...


I have no hard feelings with ebay. After all its not ebay, but the buyers and sellers that are the problem. Just seems like this is becoming a very common thing lately. Ebay should have stiffer penalties for people who cancel auctions after they have been won...oh well...

  1. Hobby Lobby and Michaels often have invitation sets on clearance. You could check those out. And, they do 40% off coupons every week, too! Good luck and sorry about the problems!
