Resolved.

She didn't mention anything about cash- just said she was going to have to refund me, so I assumed by paypal. She said she'd get back to me later that day but that was several days ago.

hmm...I'd email her again and find out what's going on.

I'm actually very confused about her giving cash refunds. She has no way to prove she issued the refund if she sends cash, there's no paper trail and if anyone she sends cash to tells eBay they did not receive it, eBay will take the money out of her Paypal account for the refund (so she'd essentially be paying for the refund twice).

yup, I had called ebay about it, they said the seller would be taking a risk by doing that because they would side with the buyer if the buyer claimed that they didn't receive the refund.

Still no reply to my email querying when replacement items would be sent
I feel bad as she was so lovely with my prior transaction which arrived only a few days before I placed this order! I wonder what happened I don't think she's a bad seller Cause I've bought from her loads of times but this isn't great!!

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

yeah it's really weird

I have sent her a message on FB so I will let you know when I hear back from her.

I had a bad experience with a seller with a Barbie before and returned it for a refund. She sent the refund by a personal check! I called Ebay as well about it and they said the same thing. I still can't believe I had to deposit a check from a stranger to get a refund...

But in any case, a check is still different than cash. Cash has no proof at all. To me, it sounds like a way to buy time. Or try and say they sent it but you never got it. The whole cash thing is way too weird.

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

yeah I know, that's what I'm concerned about as well, that's why I'm only giving it until wednesday because I refuse to let my time limit run out

[FlyingPonyMonster]

Glad you've had some closure, I've had an email saying replacement items are being sent so I'll wait and see

Best of luck to finding a new Barnacle!  I am glad you were able to be refunded.

[ponylady]

Thanks for letting us know Alatariel!
 
I have received a message back from Nurse Glory this afternoon and she says:
 
1.Barnacle has already been refunded. 
 
2.Closet Avalanche the Sea Float has been refunded but Paypal put a 4 day hold on it because you opened a case. 
 
3.FPM she says a replacement package has been resent Global Express. 
 
Please keep us updated ClosetAvalanche and FPM on your refund and package. Hope that helps!

[FlyingPonyMonster]

Will let you know as soon as anything arrives

[Alatariel-Silimaure]

yeah it wasn't really what I wanted, I would have preferred to send Barnacle back for the refund, but this works. Thanks for the support everyone and I hope you all get good resolutions as well. I'm going to be taking a break from buying for a while I think after one last auction I'm looking at and just focus on my customs for a while.

Thanks for all your help too Ponylady, it's much appreciated.
