A TALES PIN GAME! ~ Grand Prize Winners Announced On Page 4! :) ~
I shot a note to Grimm today asking for him to look into it. Getting concerned as this is a month to the day that this game started and no pins for anyone it seems :(
Also concerned...dropped 30 bucks that I would rather not lose. It's been over 3 weeks since the winner was picked.
 
I would be very sad if someone walked away with over $500 of our money. This along with some other stuff is really souring me on participating money wise through DPF. Better off just buying eBay....sigh
 
Yes I hope as well that she just got busy, but it would be nice to know what is going on. I for one would like to get the pins I won, but yes hope she did not walk away with our money.
 
I hate to see threads like this. Why? Because this is the 2nd incident with this member (click on page 2 of her feedback). Unfortunately, even likeable people with good reputations in the past, can disappear. I know when the first incident happened more than 2 people had issues, but only 2 people ended up leaving non-positive feedback. So future buyers were not given a complete picture and could make their decisions on whether or not to participate accordingly. Or at least not be surprised if another situation arose.

I'm guessing the personal issues that were a problem last year, have resurfaced and I hope you guys get resolution soon.

It just depends. I like Tanya and she is a NICE person! However I was one of the ones that had issues with her the first time she disappeared. I didn't leave feedback because I don't feel like she deserved a negative one since I did eventually get my pin, however many months later. I also traded with her at another event and the pin I got from her she was nice enough to order for me!

So while frustrating and scary, I know she doesn't intend to run off with anyone's money or pins. (I bought a pretty pricey pin from her the first time!) However, this is a really really bad habit that she has (since it has happened more than once). I'm sorry this has happened again and I hope everyone doesn't have to wait nearly as long as we all did the first time.
 
This does NOT make me feel better...she was on 2 days ago...is it really hard to say hey, something is going on, please be patient?

From my POV, if the feedback system were intended to be "did you receive your pin" yes or no, then it should be set up that way; but it's not. I'm sure we've all dealt with issues where even though the service or goods were "obtained" the overall experience was decidedly not. Even with places that had always given good service in the past. Neutral feedback is there for a reason, but if all that ever gets reported is "got my pin=positive" "didn't get my pin=negative" we're not doing the community any favors. Weeding out the most obvious, and scammiest scammers can't be the only goal of a feedback system. So that means details in "grey" situations need to be a part of it. Even if it involves really, really nice people. :(

I understand that I just didn't feel comfortable at all doing that at the time.

Thanks so much for your help with this. It's not displaying yet for me but I know it takes some time to show up on USPS website. Will keep checking! :)
 
Thanks Tanya! Worth the wait, love what I received and you were very sweet to include some other goodies. Here's my lot upon opening the envelope:

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to see what other people received! I have just tracked the packages and it looks like some arrived Saturday and the bulk of the rest will be arriving today :)
 
I just received my prizes from the game, some cute little goodies and the pins I had bought. Pleased with all- hope that all is, or will be, good with Tanya.
