Paging Rottedgirl - UNRESOLVED MEMBER MP BANNED

[Awtan]

This is a page requesting shipping information for a purchase made. I bought a Heliot NS body from rottedgirl, no layaway, one lump sum. After receiving a confirmation from the seller that the money was received, they told me they'd been called in to work a lot and would have it shipped out soon. I was told that if it wold be much longer, the shipping would be done at a faster rate with no charge from me. I waited. No shipping information. I finally messaged asking if it could be shipped by Friday and was told that would be no problem. Friday came and went. Another Friday came and went. No shipping information. I messaged rottedgirl to see what was going on and received no reply. I then informed rottedgirl that if I did not receive a response soon, I would be paging him/her. No response. I really need this to be shipped immediately. Three weeks is too long to wait for a doll that was purchased free and clear.

Rottedgirl was last on the forum today. She is now Being Paged.

Oh. Well I was going to try one last PM before opening a paging thread, but now that there is already one open...

I purchased an NS Megagem body and a Supergem blouse from rottedgirl and am always waiting on shipping. The body was purchased on layaway but he was paid off on May 15th, over a month ago.

I understand troubles in getting to the post office, and didn't mind a slight delay, and had been messaging her about once a week for an update. It was always the same, she wasn't able to ship him yet, but she apologized. On 5/30, she mentioned something similar to what Atwan mentioned above, that she'd see if she could upgrade the shipping method at no extra cost. However, he has still not been shipped.

The last message I received from rottedgirl was on 6/8, in response to one of my weekly status checks. Up through that point she'd always gotten back to me with at least a "sorry not yet" message within 24 hrs or so of my PMs.

On 6/14 I sent another message, saying that tomorrow (6/15) it would have been a full month since I paid him off, and that was I starting to worry. I asked if she could pin down a definite ship date for me. I have not heard from her since. I got on the forum today, intending to send her one last PM asking for a status update before opening a paging thread, but discovered this paging thread instead, and so am joining it.

I sent rottedgirl another PM asking her to please contact me ASAP regarding this issue. I told her that if she cannot ship the doll for whatever reason, to please just refund my money and I would consider the issue closed, but have not heard from her since 6/7/12. It's now been about a month since I purchased the Heliot body from her and according to her profile, she was last on the forum yesterday at 10:32 p.m. At this point, I'm pretty much considering this theft.

I just tried to PM rottedgirl and got the message that her inbox is full.

I'm not angry, but if she is not going to be able to ship, I really need to know NOW because today is the last day of the Soom body event. I can get a Mega Gem body through that route, but I need to know.

Well, I've tried to be patient.... I joined rottedgirl's Phonolus split October 6th of 2011. I paid for my share of the split on Oct. 19th. The order was placed on Oct. 22nd. No communication until May 20th, 2012 to inform us that the doll was on shipping. I made payment for shipping on May 31st. Last message was on June the 8th promising that my messages weren't being ignored and that my item would be sent out. Two weeks since that date and still nothing. I have had contact with one other split member and she is basically saying the same thing: poor communication and no items still.

I would like my item before the end of June or a refund. This has gone on for an unreasonable amount of time already.

I also joined the Phonolus split in October. Just like PacificBlue I paid the total amount up front. Communication was nonexistent during the waiting period. rottedgirl did not reply to PMs. I promptly paid on May 31st for shipping when I did receive a message for the cost. I still don't have the items I bought and no word. I'm with PacificBlue: I'd like my stuff or a refund by the end of June.

[Awtan]

This is still unresolved, although she was around yesterday evening according to her profile, around 7:00 p.m. I am with PacificBlue and Spring; I'd either like my item shipped with a valid tracking number or a refund by the end of June.

[cowpewter]

I still have not heard anything. I have just sent the following email, direct to the email address that I used to PayPal rottedgirl my payments. Hopefully, since it's her paypal address, it is one she checks regularly.


My email:

Subject: Mega Gem body/Super Gem blouse


Hi rottedgirl,


I'm emailing your paypal address because the last time I tried to PM you on DoA, your inbox was full.


I'm sure by now you've seen the paging thread that's been opened for you. I don't know what's going on in your life right now, so I'm trying really hard not to judge, but the number one thing that freaks people out when there is a lot of money involved is lack of communication. As others have noted, your last active timestamp on the forum has been updating, so you've at least had enough time to drop by the forum, even if you aren't posting anything.


Can you please, at the very least, find the five minutes to drop in the paging thread and reassure everyone that you still exist, that you aren't planning on just dropping off the face of the earth with our money/items? Even if you're still having trouble shipping, at least ACKNOWLEDGING the problem would, I think, really go a long way to mitigating the disaster that this is slowly becoming.


I also want to let you know, that if I have not received a working (and moving, not just created) tracking number by June 27 (next Wednesday), I will open a PayPal dispute on my last payment to you. I really don't want that to be the way that this is resolved. Too much time has passed for me to do anything about previous payments, and I'd still be out a ton of money, but my last day to open a dispute at all would be June 29. I don't want this to be a threat, I just need to protect myself in what little way I can.


Ultimately I would still prefer to receive my items as opposed to a refund. I have put another Mega Gem body on layaway from Soom, so that worst case my boy does not remain a floating head, but I'm pretty sure the older NS will be a better match for my head, and would still rather have the body I have purchased from you.


Please, please acknowledge that you still exist and get our items out to us.


Thank you,
Katy

I am in the same boat and the last communication I received was on 6/9. I would like to receive the head I paid for from the split as well, but I am not very hopeful at the moment. Maybe it will turn out ok.

rottedgirl was last on the forum 21JUN.

[Awtan]

Still no word from rottedgirl. Cowpewter, did you ever receive a response to your email?

[cowpewter]

No, I've gotten no response.

[PacificBlue]

Still no word. It looks like she hasn't been on the forum since the 20th of June.

I have begun the Paypal dispute process for my last payment on the body. Unfortunately my other layaway payments on the body are too old to dispute, and the blouse was paid for with a personal payment.

I originally just inquired after the blouse, and paid for it plus shipping. About a week later I decided I was interested in the body she was selling too. We made the layaway arrangements and I never heard anything from her about the blouse shipping. Finally, when I was ready to make my final layaway payment and was double checking the shipping fee for the body, I asked if she was just waiting to include it with the body and she said she was. I didn't ask for the $2 difference on the shipping for the body, since it was just $2 and it seemed like it would be making a fuss for no good reason. Just noting it here so my payment history makes sense.

Here's a screenshot of my payment history, annotated for each payment, just for documentation's sake, since this has gone so far.

[Awtan]

Thank you for posting this. Please keep us updated. I'm hoping that this will bring her forward to at least address the dispute.

[Awtan]

Just an update - still no word from Rottegirl. It's almost July now. It will be almost two months since my purchase soon. I'm going to take the contact information I have with her as well as copies of the correspondence and my Paypal payment to the local police station if I don't hear back from her by early July. At this point, it should be considered mail fraud and can be an FBI jurisdiction case if there is enough evidence. I encourage everyone in the same boat as the rest of us here to please do the same - contact your local authorities and make a report. There are measures which can be taken against this sort of theft if that's what's happened. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt that she has either just been ill or unable to reach us, but at this point, I'm not holding out a lot of hope.

Im also joined the phonolus split for his claw hands and paws. Paid in full. Then bought ns monzo claw legs and feet from her from the mp so i told her she could ship them together. Both paid for. Still waiting for them to be shipped. Last i heard from her was three weeks ago. Hopefully this gets resolved. I would hate to be burned by her. I would just like her to mail my stuff i purchased from her! I've been waiting paticently but this is crazy.

[PowerAndWeakness]

I tried messaging her but her mailbox is full!
