Perfect response :) Just saying "Ok, Thanks for letting us know" means you have read what she's written but that you're also not getting any further involvement with her.Quote:

That's not to say its bad, some are good, some are not. It just isn't for me. So someone needs to tell me why whenever I make it known that I am not a huge anime lover, everyone acts like I just said I got married to Hitler?? Like really?? I get it, they love it and are super passionate about it but that doesn't mean you have to bash everyone who disagrees with you. I am a grown ass adult (well im 20 so close enough, eh?) I don't have to sit here and give u a friggin bulleted list about WHY I don't like something. If I don't like, I don't like it. Anime is not the best thing in the world, everyone doesn't love it, and everyone doesn't HAVE to love it.
I just really wanna tail smack a few humans today.
But know I am not just a flagrant "hater". I do like some anime. I will like anything so long as it sounds appealing to me, no matter what it is. The issue is that whenever my friends try to recommend me some of the "best" anime that I am guaranteed to love, the plots of those things sound terrible, stupid, boring, or just not of my taste. SOME anime is really good. I could name a few right now that I would love to get into when I have the time. But apparently I am being too critical when it comes down to what I watch. Because apparently everything that I personally don't like, but others like, I should take the time out of my day to watch just because THEY like it. <----- *sarcasm*
Went to swim for my second time in my tail, it's just been laying on my chair waiting to be used since the first time. It was great, managed to get some footage of it underwater. Later when I was cleaning it out in the showers I saw that the silicone was starting to let go from the fabric beneath it where it connects to the scales. I think the stitches got up. "I can fix that with some silicone home" I thought. But then I saw a quite big hole on the edge, so I put in my fingers there to feel it, and almost pricked myself on a sharp edge. My monofin has shattered and poked through. There's a split from side to side, and more cracks near the edge. Feels like a broken window and it's crazy sharp.
What is it with me and drama?
What have I done to deserve yet another let down tailwise?
;_____;
??? What kind of monofin is in it?
It's something homemade, it's hard to see, but something like bi-fins that has been cut and then some kind of plastic under it.
Edit: it's not lexan. It's plexiglass.

It's terrible to hear that you have to deal with these jackasses. You handle them in good way, and there's nothing wrong with your product! <3
.
just be like "to ensure that we can improve our orders in the future and provide quality products, could you please tell me what was wrong with the wand?"
.
.
.
I'd ask her that still. If she still does not respond that doesn't really give we a basis to return the wand.
Adalira, I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
Formerly, all stores (online and physical) used to have very accomodating refund and return policies, which was nice for honest, normal customers.
But as with everything, there are people who abuse the system.
I hate to tell you that, but the case of the woman getting a wand, just to send it back shortly after without giving a reason is probably one of those.
There are smartalecs out there who need a special item (especially when not easy to find) for just one opportunity, so they order the item, use it, then send it back.
Example: Amazon created restrictions on their shipping policies because some guys ordered a big TV just to watch some football game with their buddies, then returning the TV and getting a full refund.
I wager the woman with your wand wanted it for a birthday party or somesuch, but didn't intend to keep it anyway.
Just stick to your rules, there is nothing wrong with your product.
(and saying the wand doesn't "function" sounds like a dead giveaway)
if she doesn't give you a reason, screw her! Move ahead, sell to other people.. You don't need this headache, your return policy is spelled out perfectly... just let it go. If she still complains, let her complain to Etsy and explain to them what her problem is. There are seller protection in place with Etsy, and they are pretty good at judging a situation. You are being way too sensitive about this, and you need to move forward...forget these idiots that are trying to take advantage of you!
PS: Echidna is right, she probably wanted it for a party and is a cheapo. Or, she really thinks she can cast Harry Potter-type spells and doesn't deserve her money back because she is an idiot.
.
eh...well that is so stupid I'm actually speechless.
If she bothers you further, maybe you can show etsy that mail.
Edit:
You can also tell her that wands and other equipment do not give magical powers, they are just tools for those who already have them.
(and that's nothing but the truth even among those who do believe in said powers.)
And I'd probably add some scathing remarks about watching less Disney and Harry Potter and read a good book instead, but that's just me. :p
Just a quick thought, do you think there is anyway this could be a child posing as an adult? Maybe they stole their parents credit card thinking the wand was 'real"and since it obviously is not she does not want to get in trouble so she is trying to get her parents money back? (Or maybe it is a child whom does not think it is real but stil knows she might get introuble for the above reason so thinks if she is ridiculious you will concede?) If this person is an adult well, maybe even contact etsy and see if they can handle this unusal situation?Quote:

Oh dear...Maybe tell her that you are not responsible for the magic in the wand? Something along those lines? I'm left scratching my head here, I've never encountered something like this before. I hope you work something out.
What a strange situation :\
If you say in your policy that they can return it if unsatisfied, then by all means let her do so if she's willing to pay the postage. Don't do your head in trying to figure out what she's on about.
I don't think you need to say they're fake. Perhaps you could say something more indirect, like "using wands requires a great amount of imagination and we cannot guarantee everyone will have enough of it to be successful spell-casters"
do not get sucked into her idiotic drama! Tell her she does not have a right to have a refund. It's her own fault her magic doesn't work. Don't explain magic to her. After that don't respond to her at all.
The girl I really like and I have been under the impression that she liked me back when we talked over the summer. She had asked if I was serious about liking her and wanting to visit her and about working together the next summer. I told her I was. She had never had a guy interested in her before. I asked her if she felt the same way and she said she did. We just had a problem with ages and age difference. I found out thru her aunt today that I surprised (made sound to be like scared) her saying I was interested in her. So I asked her today and she said she was surprised and didn't know how to respond.
At this point I'm not sure what to write anymore. She means so much to me and I thought it was more mutual.
:cry:
In my line of work you always have to put the disclaimer "for entertainment purposes only. Psychic readings and medium sessions are not a replacement for medical/legal/psychiatric advice"
you might want to put a 'for entertainment purposes only. Seller is not responsible for any magic that may or may not be channeled through wands'
I like Phaylenn's disclaimer better actually.

If I remember correctly, said girl is 16 and you're I think 25 right? You need to stay away from her. You're going to end up on the sex offender list if you get involved with her. Even talking to her online in a certain way can get you arrested. Leave it alone.Quote:

Yes. You aren't legally an adult until you're 18. (however, and 18 year old who is an adult can legally date a 16 year old since it's legal if it's only 2 years or something like that.) I like the laws because generally in my experience (and not saying you're like this at all Flyer) but older men like to try and take advantage of young girls and boys who don't know any better and are easily manipulated and abused. And not to mention how guys literally wait like hawks for girls to turn legal because they seems to have this thing about young girls.Quote:

If I find the actual quote I'll update this lol
I agree, just stay away. It is illegal and won't be legal for a couple of years, besides, she is obviously confused about the situation so she is probably not actually mature enough to pursue a relationship even if it was legal.Quote:

(drugs, un-safe sex, she even sold sex act for money for him, weed and other drugs, stealing, etc.) she wasn't mature to be with someone his age, he walked all over her and she wasn't able to tell what was right and what wasn't because she was so blinded by this "love". When my parents found out about it (when she was 15) she ran away and didn't come back for a week. Now she still dates older men, but know what else she's doing? She's sitting at home knocked up by some guy that wants nothing to do with her, with a felony and under house arrest because she let some guy convince her to do some wrong stuff. Let her be. Let her mature some.Quote:

Dude was planning to hop on a plane from America to Canada to come visit me. Parents found out and got the police involved.
Granted, in that case it turned out the guy was actually a sexual predator with a habit of trying to solicit minors for sex online, but still-- even if you're not planning on anything sexual, any sort of relationship AT ALL with this girl is gonna get you into serious legal shit no matter what your intentions are. You're in reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally skeevy territory, man.
In Europe we have different laws in different countries for when it's considered legal to have sex, so it's not connected to when your considered an adult (which I believe is also at 18 in every country here)
Yeah, here in Canada the age of sexual consent is 16, but that depends on the age of the other party-- So, for example, if Flyer and this girl-interest of his lived in Canada and decided to pursue a relationship, he could get in legal trouble for exploitation of a minor or statutory rape. I'm not 100% up to date on America's laws on these sorts of things, but I think things like Age of Consent and Romeo + Juliet laws vary from state to state, which could make things trickier.
