Caution To Doll Collectors Buying Off eBay
Hi,
eBay won't do anything because they decided that the differences weren't significant enough and I can't even leave negative feedback for the seller pulling a bait and switch.
Needless to say, I will never be buying from that seller again and will be asking fir confirmation on exactly what I will be receiving from now on.
If you care about the little details, be careful!
I don't understand, why can't you leave feedback?
People absolutely suck. I recently sold like 5 dolls on ebay, and I always make sure to include lots of photos and specify that the pictures are of the EXACT items they will receive. If it doesn't say and you can't clarify with them, move on. I know everyone wants to look for a deal but for buying dolls, I've always found it worthwhile to pay a bit more and go for the seller with many photos and (LOTS OF!) 100% positive feedback.
Probably if ebay closed the case feedback is then impossible. So there is no retaliation feedback I guess.
Do you have pictures we can see?
Unless it's something completely drastic like instead of how it is sold in stores it's been unbraided and retied into a pony tail and held together with a rubber band... Something extremely different than pictured then unfortunately I dont think there's much you can do.
in eBay's eyes you received the item listed and all is fair game... I agree the picture should reflect what you're getting, especially with how much was spent... but it sounds like this particular seller has or is selling multiple red jasmines, so I seriously doubt a seller would take a new picture for each single doll they're listing... It's just not practical.
maybe you could redo it yourself, or resell her? /: I hate that that's happened to you... I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a doll (monster high or Disney) and unboxed the horror of box hair.
I would escalate it with ebay further.
Exactly right, since they ruled in her favor I can't leave negative feedback so not only does the seller skate through loopholes in terminology, but ebay is preventing anyone else from being warned.
Hi,
I don't post here much anymore but wanted to leave some advice to buyers now that the market is being flooded by flippers who don't know anything about what they are selling.
If you are considering buys a doll off eBay and details matter to you, make sure they confirm that the pictures you are seeing are of the EXACT doll you will be receiving. I just got burned on the D23 Jasmine. I noticed that some of them had really nice hair and other had hair that was tightly wound and far away from the body. I spent a small fortune on one pictured with nice hair....not what I received. I received one with the hair I didn't like and I could tell from other variances that it was not the same doll. eBay won't do anything because they decided that the differences weren't significant enough and I can't even leave negative feedback for the seller pulling a bait and switch.
Needless to say, I will never be buying from that seller again and will be asking fir confirmation on exactly what I will be receiving from now on.
