Yikes.  How hard is it to just refund the guy?  Takes like three clicks.  Empathy? Just give the guy his $$ back already.

The money is gone. The reason the money has not been refunded is the money is gone. The money is gone and not coming back. It’s not easy to refund money when it’s gone. 

If its as simple as that, why not just give the guy the item he has paid for.

Because the item does not exist. 

Never existed?

We will never know.

Is she friends with don white?  

Looks like they both play from the same game book. 

So sad.

Going back to your previous comments, how do you know that the money is gone or the item does not exist? Either way, she has totally scammed this guy.

this thread is embarrassing

Jesus guys. I can both feel for this person’s reported mental health problems AND say that what she did is pretty fucking heinous, wrong, skeezy, dodgy, whatever the fuck adjective you want. Ya’ll want to keep boxing me into one side or the other. That’s it for my participation in this thread. 

HughFreakingDillon

agreed Chris.

Same i feel both sides. And have pretty  heavy  mental  problems but i will add my personal feeling  is i couldn't  let someone down. It would make me so much worse.

This is how I feel.  I think Everyone hopes she is better but in the end this person owes someone else a good amount of money.  Again it takes all of three seconds to Venmo a person.

I want my money or item AND her to be well. 

For the good of the argument..it IS possible to have mental health issues and be a terrible person. They are not mutually exclusive. 

Sadly, this may be an example. 

Also for the record, providing another member with a grail is AWESOME and I wish we did it more.

Yo my comment wasn’t directed to you dude, don’t take things personally on here.  The dude just needs his $ back.  

All The Dude ever wanted was his rug back.

Next Grail for Ninersfan, or maybe Seattle Batman? Seattle Batman definitely needs more chachkies.

bump for a great seller

Is this sarcasm? If so, hilarious. If not, I’ve seen people keep defending her. Not sure what it would take for ppl to see that maybe she’s not a good seller 

where's your sympathy? lets be patient.

I just read through the thread again, so I know where you’re coming from. Thoughts and prayers 

Anyone that knows me would attest to my concern for just about anyone, Belinda included. However, she has messaged me a few times to tell me there will be an update. Then I'm ghosted for weeks. I gave her $375 for a Mercer photo and am left with nothing. Seems she needs the $375 more than me but I'd recommend nobody buy from her ever again. 

To think if I had that $375 I would have enough for 1 PJ Premium in Oakland! 

If you have time to message someone then you obviously have time to send money via PayPal or Venmo since it takes all of three seconds.  

I've tried suggesting that to Belinda as well.....deaf ears.....

maybe her fan-club could pitch in?  

That’s a ridiculous comment my friend. People can both disagree and be empathetic. Those that have shown compassion here surely agree that this is extremely bad form. Bad form that has permanently damaged this person’s reputation as a seller without a doubt. 

While I've reiterated it time and time again that I hope she is indeed ok, that statement is absolutely ridiculous. She, and only she, has destroyed her reputation as a seller. Anything else that has been said is simply overkill and should act as a warning to others when deciding whether or not to do business with her.

HughFreakingDillon

I think you read that wrong Brane. 2 Feign is in fact saying that she has damaged her own reputation as a seller. At least I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.

I’m not on FB, so I have no idea. But that is what I’ve heard.

It seems Belinda sold a bunch of stuff on here over the years. Is this the first time the buyer did not receive the item? Sucks to be out that much money. Trusting someone with that much sight unseen is a big risk, even if it is with members of the PJ community.  And if she is getting in patient care, it could last a long time and would not be that easy to refund the money or ship the item. Just saying.  

cmalisze

Belinda responded to me today via a FB message. She stole 350 from me as I was buying a photo from her and it was never sent or received. She responds periodically saying she will message me another day. I tell her to stop and send my 350 back immediately. Then she ghosts again. Unreal 

Loujoe

Really stinks^^ I wonder what happened. Sad all around (and criminal you were robbed)

on2legs

Hope you get your funds back!

Makes me even more grateful for all the people here that I’ve done deals with… thankfully I’ve never had an issue.

Hope you get a resolution OP!

Hello there, 

Please give me some time to work on this,

I have been and am experiencing mental illness beyond my capacity to function independently. 

I recognise I should have managed this situation better and I am sorry for the delay and confusion caused. 

I am fixing things up as fast as I can, 

as a priority. 

Please know I will follow this up. 

Regards,

Belinda. 

Still waiting for my money or my photo.

Mental illness doesn’t stop someone from refunding $350 immediately.  We need to stop allowing that excuse.

I'm not saying anyone should excuse someone ripping others off,  but mental illness can do a heck of a lot more than that.  Sounds like you are fortunate to not know anyone who has serious mental illnesses, but stealing/not paying people back could be one of the better "messed up things" done by some people I've known.

I hope everyone can get made whole, not making excuses.

I’ve worked in mental health for over 20 years, have had immediate family members, as well as many friends deal with very significant, life threatening mental illness. Belinda was capable enough to log into her email/PJ account and craft a coherent message with all of her wits…yet, somehow, couldn’t take an extra 30 seconds to log into her PayPal account to refund the money. The limits of mental capacity never cease to amaze me.

I can imagine (from folks I've known) how this can happen.  Not a good thing but who knows.  
I'm sorry that this person messed so many over.

Down to brass tacks. Makes a lot of sense.

HughFreakingDillon

lot of people don't seem to understand the potential implications of mental illness. it can lead to impulsive behaviour, which can mean she no longer has the cash nor the means to make good on the goods. being able to log into an account does not equate to be a functional human being. 

as F Me said, not excusing, but these things can be a complex set of circumstances.
