I wouldn't risk it. Sounds way too fishy.
Aren't payments outside of ebay also against their rules?
I'd actually probably report the seller to ebay for the request, since it's clear she will be going after an off site payment whether from you or the next person.
Either it comes back on the seller for rule breaking or it ends up being found out that someone else is using her ebay account.
This just sounds fishier than fishy. Also, if they are police officers and thus should be rule-obeying people, why is she so reluctant to follow eBay's rules?OK, being a police officer isn't about obeying eBay rules, it's about enforcing laws. And if they claim to be NYPD, it's city laws and state laws. Outside work, they are allowed to be human. Sorry, as a police wife, it had to be said.
I think I know who this seller is (does her user name start with a e and end with a 3?), if it is the same one I am thinking of I have brought from her and found she can be so slow on shipping but items get there eventually as described, however she caused a lot of upsets of fb last year, she has stopped selling on fb (maybe got banned), most of the upsets where due to late shipping and cancelling sales she agreed to buy from memory, she then started saying she has cancer but it only came up as an excuse so it didn't sit well with many people.
At this stage if she suggested this to me as she has to you, I would say no. Yes my dealings have been fine with her but yeah her life stories are becoming more and more involved in her sales which is not right

Yes, that would be the correct seller. I've bought 2 ponies from her and neither of them had fully disclosed flaws. Ebay had to remove one of the responses to negative feedback she has received... not the most polite or easy to deal with, but most ebay sellers know you always run into upset buyers that aren't willing to work toward a resolution.
The most recent I have heard is that she has agreed to relist in a private listing for me.
I do agree with that, but being human outside work shouldn't involve 'scamming' and acting like this - what she does is not OK in my books, and it definitely does not fall under "being human off work" (and knowing you based on your posts I'm sure it's the same for you. Like... I could never even imagine you doing something like this) :P and that's something I'd especially not expect from someone whose work is like this. That's what I was trying to refer to :)This just sounds fishier than fishy.

Fingers crossed for you ChipsteRJ! I hope your lot turns up fast and in the described condition!
Might sound kinda mean; but if so many people have had problems with buying from her and she does stuff like this regularly.. Wouldn't it be better to name and shame her? To prevent others from falling for her trap and such. :huh:
I hope your items arrive safely and soon, ChipsteRJ!
An ice cream barrette hm...i dont really have any barrettes yet, oh no...trying not to need some now, ack. Its not working.
What does BNG mean again? Big new good?
Which ice cream barette was missing? If it is the yellow one, that's a good chunk of money. The yellow one is worth more than the rest.

It's not easy to resist accessories.... is it???
BNG= Brush N Grow
I think it's the lying that really gets me. If she didn't do anything wrong she wouldn't feel the need to lie. About.. Having cancer and stuff. I wonder where she gets those hundreds of ponies.
She might send it along but whatever you do, don't ask for any extras. That might awaken the sleeping giant.
I came across this seller on Ebay recently. Thankfully I read EVERYTHING (after being scammed some time ago) and I found her listings to be crass and her response to negative feedback to be childish. Decided to come here and check trader feedback and came across this thread. She sounds like a real peach!
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to have to add up another bad experience with this seller.
I generally don't read Ebay sellers feedback but I did after a month from the purchase when the tracking number i received was still not working.
I purchased 2 huge pony lots for over 600$ in total from this person in April 2017. As of today I still haven't received the ponies nor any reliable shipping information.
I was fed the chemo/cancer story as well so I decided to enquire about her with another Italian fellow collector and he confirmed he also had issues with her and that she's prone to making up fantastic stories and being very late in shipping out items.
Clearly I have opened a Paypal claim now nearly 2 weeks ago.
Only today other collectors were able to point me in this post direction. I wish I had read it before :(
