    Yep got me too. Sent her $350 for a Mercer photo. Radio silence since.

    If it means anything at all, I'm friends with Belinda but haven't been able to make contact with her for a while - early October to be honest - doesn't excuse the non contact in the transaction, but may be a really good (or bad) reason as to why this has happened. Hope all is ok and is resolved properly..
    I last received a message from her 11/25. 
  • cmaliszecmalisze Posts: 2,625
    Well she's done it twice since I paid her on 11/17. Put yourself in my shoes, ignoring who she is. Paid on 11/17, had to follow up to get any response on 11/24, at which time she made excuses for not shipping. Silent since. That sounds like someone is getting ripped off to me...
    Makes two

    Something is very wrong. She hasnt surfaced for days. I sincerely hope she is ok. 

    I know its been said by many, but she has always made good previously, however it is concerning that she has fallen off the face of the earth. Fingers crossed she is just taking a little time away to reset things. The world can get overwhelming at times and she may have needed to step away. I am just really hoping its nothing more serious

    ....I am not in any way downplaying the issues created, I would be pretty pissed if this had happened to me, and certainly not looking to make excuses, but this is definitely worrying.

    Agreed. Here is hoping she is ok. We had lovely interactions. Shared pictures of some of our prized pieces. Talked shows. Talked Covid in Austrailia compared to the US. I never suspected a fraud. I wish her the best and that we all get our items or money back. 

    Paul what are you selling? LOL

    Geez...I saw she had them up for sale. The only silver lining in any of this is the fact that "eventually" she has made good. I don't think I've heard from anyone that paid her and never received what they paid for. 

    The fact still remains that this is no way to do any kind of business with anyone. She continually gets a free pass over and over and over again by so many people. Why? Just because she makes good months after being paid? When is enough enough?

    For the record, my care and concern are in no way giving someone a free pass for lack of follow through with a trade or sale on here.

    Again, this suggests care and concern overlooks bad form.

    It's an invitation to share more. But you don't seem ready to do that based on your reply.

    She seems to have enough friends here where a few hundred bucks wouldn’t be worth ruining your trade reputation. I may feel different if I was the one out money, but hope everything is ok. Hope the buyers get answers soon and everyone is heathy.

    I would say her trade rep is shot, just an opinion, and I'm not seeing how wishing someone is ok means she gets a free pass or endorses this kind of trading behavior on Lost Dogs. I would say the damage is done, and would be floored if anyone deals with her here again if she resurfaces.

    I hope she's ok too. But I hate that some people are using that as an excuse as to why she disappears for weeks/months at a time, all the while having people's money and not sending them what they paid for. 

    I would be much more empathetic had she not posted twice on her own fb page after I had already paid her. Seems she was doing just fine for at least 7-10 days after taking my money...

    That's majorly fucked up. Again, not excusing that behavior. Are folks referring to a history of this beyond your post OP?

    she'll be back in 6 months selling items, and getting the "BUMP FOR A GREAT SELLER" treatment

    Oh I know you're not. I was simply referring to people saying that she "eventually" comes through as if that's some sort of endorsement.

    I doubt that. 

    It's messed up that she isn't responding to the buyers for sure, but I truly think the damage has been done to her selling reputation here. That being said, I can't speak to what's going on on Facebook. It is still ok to hope that they are doing well, however. I wouldn't wish ill towards anyone--no matter how bad they screwed me on a sale/trade. Again, that's me. 
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I've said it before Paul, I sincerely hope she's ok too. But apparently, she does this ALL THE TIME. I've read people's responses or PMs directly to me. And it's literally dozens of people over the course of years that she's ghosted for weeks/months at a time after taking their money. So this is not a one-off instance, this is a pattern...
