You Gotta, Get, That Mold Off Yo' Shoulder
Alrighty, my first ever gtfo!
So my friend xjust_anotherx was awesome and bought me and another friend a meta blouse and altered Fruits Parlor skirt last week from user savpixie with the intention of having us pay her back once they arrived.
They arrived today... in less than pristine condition.

There was fucking mold on the blouse. And moldy orange pieces in the bag.
And the FP skirt's apron heart had very obvious stains and discoloration on the waistband from wear. As well as loose thread, buttons and clasps. All of which are easily dealt with, but they were clearly not mentioned at all in the post.
The seller tried to pass it off as post office drama, and that the ink from her note ran, but the clothes were not wet in any way, nor was the box tampered with.
The seller's "boyfriend" then comments, and brushes it off as "just clean it, you'll be fine" which my friend retorts with that things were not as advertised, therefore she should get at least a partial refund.
"Boyfriend" explains that they are unemployed, if she sends the items back and maybe if he stops buying his medicine that he could pay her back in installments, of a whole $5 a week. Why he has to say anything about the medicine I don't know, besides trying to get sympathy.
I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, because it is a shitty situation, and I understand the unemployment thing, believe me, but his attitude towards the whole thing irks me and my friend.
TL;DR A friend bought a blouse and skirt which came in a bag with moldy orange peels. Seller tries to guilt trip her into just dealing with it.
EDIT: PICTURES OF THE MOLD AND STAINS AND DAMAGE. (Please tell me if the link doesn't work! I checked it without being logged in, so it SHOULD work. ^_^;;;)

EDIT #2: I have to get off the computer, but here is a folder containing all of the caps, if needed.

EDIT #3: Well shit, xjust_anotherx hoped on to put an update, and while trying to make everything clearer and easier to read, I somehow deleted my third edit and the edit she did. Awesome. Thankfully my phone is still on the unedited. So I that has been copied below with the links put (roughly) in the places she had them. Sorry for the mess up. Derp. ^_^;;
EDIT #4: xjust_anotherx : Minus a response to a few comments I was attempting to stay off of the gtfo page in hopes of resolving this matter quickly and fairly with my seller, unfortunately, it seems like this will not be a painless experience. So I'm here to share.
I filed a dispute with Paypal which resulted in getting a message from savpixie , I think I'll let it speak for itself. In all fairness I've included my response. As I was typing out my rather long-winded response I got notified of another PM that contained freezepages of savpixie 's rather superflorous purchases from the last month.
Whatever self restraint and pity I may have felt died a very quick, painless death. I have since proceeded to upgrade my dispute to a claim in hopes that involving Paypal as a third party will encourage this scam to cease.
EDIT #5: xjust_anotherx has received a full refund from Paypal and we were able to keep the items.
