I've got kind of a nightmare situation going on right now and I just don't know what to do.

Last weekend someone purchased a card from me on Ebay.  When it comes to cards alot of sellers seem to just stick a postage stamp on them and just go with that.  I wanted to be a little more protected and make sure it got there so I went ahead and spent the $2 to have tracking/confirmation.

On Monday the 11th a little before noon I dropped 2 packages into the out going mail slot inside the post office.  One of the packages was scanned in/accepted around 2:30 in the afternoon and went on to get lots of scans and eventually be delivered.  The other package was never once scanned.  It still shows the whole "the seller created a label, it'll be scanned when it reaches the carrier".

Today I went to the post office and had one of the ladies check the slot and their lost/damaged mail sections looking for it.  With no avail and no advice.  So I dropped it off for sure on Monday the 11th, but I have no clue where it is, and they have no clue where it is.  Because they never scanned it themselves I'm guessing that neither the post office or paypal will side with me if it never shows up and I'll be totally out the item, the money for the item, the ebay fees, and the shipping/confirmation/etc and risking bad feedback. T_T


Really the whole situation has me stressed to death considering the whole reason I sold the item was because I really needed money for some bills.

So I'm looking for a little advice.
Should I contact the buyer right away? 

I've always prided myself on keeping ebay buyers updated and what not.  But I'm a little afraid if I send a message saying "hey the tracking isn't working, let me know if and when you get the item" the person might be like "Cool, free item and they have no proof I didn't get it" and claim they didn't recieve it even if they did.

So I don't know if I should give it another week (Aug 22) to see if it arrives there (like they leave feedback or whatever) or comes back to me before contacting them.  Or if I should bite the bullet and contact them now to let them know there might be a problem when it could possibly bite me.

Any thoughts? T_T

I'm not a huge fan of Catrine, but I saw a nice looking one at my Walmart and knew people were looking for her so I figured I'd pick one up incase anyone is looking :3  She's brand new in her box.

I would prefer to do a trade or a partial trade + money transaction, but I may flat out sell her if noone is interested in trade.

I can take a picture of her if people would like and I do not mind shipping internationally.

Held for trade.

Will still possibly buy some of the stuff below if anyone has one!


My Want list
* Schools Out or Gloom Beach Clawdeen
(Nude, makeup and body should be in good condition but hair doesn't matter)

* Skull Shores Lagoona

* A pair of roller skates
(Preferably Operetta's, but would consider Abbey, Clawdeen, or Ghoulia)

* Abbey's boots -  The tall, ice skate ones or the white and blue snowflake looking ones

* Stands!  Seriously, I have 4 dolls and only 1 stand. T_T  I prefer black or blue but offer anything!
 

I'm thinking of trying to make a custom doll of one of my rping OC's after seeing some other friends do it with pullips and neneroids (?), both of theirs costs well over $100+ and.. I'm not feeling that so much.

I've had some experience with customizing ponies so hopefully I can figure it out.  I assume rerooting hair is similiar and if not I can just buzz their hair and clue a wig on?

So here is my main question.  I have a character that is dark skinned (she's Inuit) but I'm afraid her actual skin tone is probably not an exact match to either Clawdeen, Cleo, or Nefera.  But for those more experienced with the dolls which character do you think is the closest skin match for her (as you can see below her skin tone varies a little bit with each piece of art so.. I've got a little wiggle room)?

Also, if it is Clawdeen, are the ears molded to the head completely or can they be removed (even if by like sanding and stuff). 

Thanks guys!!

Here she is with two different outfits/designs
