I wonder if anyone still even bothers to follow me?
I am still alive. You can find me on
tumblr more then anywhere else tbh. So in case I forget this completely exists again, that's the best place to go to keep up with any rants (and see how much of a nut job I am) and some photos etc.
Now, onto the good part. Can I just make a rant here for a minute?
Who let all the crazies back onto DoA? I thought we were having a nice calm period there for a little while, clearly it didn't want to last for very long. I now can firmly and truly say that I believe whole-heartedly in black lists. I can also say that if you want to avoid any kind of unreasonable conflict and annoyance avoid doing sales with the DoA user BulletsBanq. I was a little skeptic when she first pm'd me about the Unoa boy I had up for sale (who was incredibly discounted from a normal Unoa price I'll have you know due to age, which I clearly stated, and being slightly yellow, which I stated.) and because I needed the money quickly I accepted her PM, sanded off the eyebrows for her (for free) shipped her to the faceup artist of her choice, then shipped the body out.
Now she had asked for priority but I require insurance and priority wouldn't ship with insurance so I shipped it registered and promptly told her. That is when she gave me her first bit of sass, saying how could I do that when she specifically requested the other method of shipping. Now, it clearly states in my sales thread that insurance is required for me to ship to you. I don't really want to risk shipping without it. So there's a bit of quiet while the body ships.
Now the body has been received and I get this nasty accusatory message about how I sold her "damaged" goods and she couldn't believe I would lie to her about it.
The pictures she sent me were of normal wear and tear the Unoa already had when I had received it myself.
Now she clearly states she has never owned an Unoa body before, so I explain to her the "damage" she had received was NORMAL wear and tear. But she would not have it, she wanted a refund on shipping + about $50 for the damage. Now, if you ask me that is absolutely FUCKING ridiculous. So, I kindly refused, told her I would refund her the shipping because she was upset, but that additional $50 was way too much. She kept fighting me. So I kindly reminded her that I have been nothing but nice to her and I am not trying to deny her anything, I even modded the faceplate of the unoa for her for free and shipped the plate to the artist of her choice. I wasn't denying her the shipping either, but she still refused and kept insisting I was a horrible person and she should get the money. So I finally said that I'd be willing to refund her the shipping + $20 for any supplies she may need to repair the "damage". She STILL would not accept.
So now she is telling me she wants to ship the body back. (Which just blew my mind tbh) so I told her that was fine. So she tells me she can only ship EMS. I tell her that I would like a method that offers insurance, EMS does not, and when she finds a method that offers insurance I'd be more then happy to pay the cost for shipping back to me. Well when she gets that back she sends me a PM that says she's going to accept my offer for the refund and keep the body. (fickle much?) So I accept that and send her the refund and give her the option of leave me negative feedback.
Now one week later I get a PM from her stating she is going to be leaving me a negative transaction thread with detailed pictures and screenshots of PMs with a link to my feedback because a mod told her that's what she should do. Now. I'm sitting there like, why do you need to tell me? Okay? So I told her that was fine and she could do that.
Now it's three weeks later, still no feedback, and now I'm just shaking my head over this whole thing. I feel like she was just trying to jab at me this whole time to get more and more money back for a doll that was already incredibly discounted. I'm just like, really? And, the sad part about all of this is that I see it happening more and more with the younger users on DoA these days. Honestly, no one is fair anymore in this hobby, it's all about the money...
I'm just glad that I had friends to share the details with throughout those couple weeks. It would have driven me insane, I had even considered rage quitting for a bit there 'cause I was just so fed up with it.
Though it does make me smile (call me selfish or a bitch but it does) that I've had a few friends who have spread the word and put this user on their blacklists as well.
I honestly never thought I would need a blacklist till this year. Sheesh.
