If I remember correctly ... she had several “houses”’listed for sale none of which she actually had in her possession and she was selling multiples - as if she had a warehouse of high end houses she was liquidating .. I actually initiated a conversation with her and she gave me all the victim plays one can imagine - bottom line tho she said she had a red one (the shadow cliff) for sale. A total fraud - what she didn’t count on was everyone who visited her site figuring out she was a sham. @felthen will get her money back but it’s annoying you have to fight for your money. Unless she is now a ghost, she is gone from Etsy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she fled Etsy, or they banned her in that particular form. And yes it should be easy to get money back from Etsy or Paypal protection folks.

That seller has a feedback record which seems fine - i think the Etsy scammer had very little feedback if any as I recall. That's always something I look at - even if sellers seems totally legit, I have a hard time committing to someone with very little feedback. People can fake it, so it has to be a decent amount over a goodly amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been buying off ebay for years - I think it's important look at feedback (and check that their feedback is as a seller and not just a buyer), how long they have been selling, and always read the shipping/return notes. I have no probelms asking the seller questions too, the way they respond is also useful sometimes. I also only use paypal on ebay - it offers extra protection. I know ebay and paypal parted ways, but you can still choose that option. I like Etsy too - tho with the hoax Felthen uncovered/experienced I'm more alert now than I felt I had to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree...that feed back is the best resource we have to defend ourselves against fraudulent listings. I have only had one or two poor experiences on Ebay and the feedback wouldn't of been of any use to prevent me from purchasing - just turned out yucky. Overall tho, it's been a great resource for Mini's I, too love Etsy and read feedback...it's the pricey items I hesitate on if they dont have any reviews....but overall my experience has been pleasant.

Felthen Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Etsy issued me a full refund on the shadowcliff dollhouse today. So I have my money back. Thank you everyone for your emotional support. It was appreciated. I will be more careful in future about checking seller feedback and length of time the shop has been open. But all is well that ends well... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-life madness Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Tin dollhouse by Cohn in great shape. I have always wanted a tin house. I had one when I was 5 years old and I loved it but it gave me fits! The tabs would loosen and mess up the whole house. https://www.ebay.com/itm/T-COHN-66-Doll-House-And-Furniture/254872152327?hash=item3b57906907:g:BccAAOSwm7hgEs4C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felthen Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That is a really nice house , I strongly considered it. I decided with the current number of projects and the slowww rate That I finish them that I should not get it. Those are nice kits to assemble though, and that one is very complete with nice quality windows and stairs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
