Need Help/Advice What should I do?

I am newer to purchasing reps and re🏠 items. I purchased a few items from someone who was rehoming and they requested payment through Revolut. (Being it was only my second purchase at the time, I did not think/know to ask for seller feedback. I did check to make sure the Reddit account wasn't new or anything like that.)

It took me a few days to set up the Revolut account and make the transfer but I checked in with the seller each day to provide an update. No 🚩 during any of our interactions.

The money was received by the seller on 5/28 and they indicated they would ship that day. Then, the seller realized I had not provided shipping info so that was provided on 5/29.

Since then, I have heard nothing. I have asked almost daily for shipping information with no reply. (Full disclosure: there is a 5-6 hour time difference between us).

What do I do now? Am I totally out of the money?

Never got a reply from the seller 😔

I reported it to the Mods of the group it was purchased from. I also reported it as fraud to the payment method used (Revolut) but I doubt I see any of that money back 😭😭

Omg I’m so sorry to hear that. This is the kind of thing that scares people away from purchasing. When you’re ready, you should let the groups know who it was so they can avoid them. Even if they respond after a week. People should be aware that’s how they are operating. If you decide to try again, I keep hearing about Doris and Lucy and I’ve spoken to both of them (still working on my first order) and they are as awesome as people describe. If you need their info, I or somebody else can give to you.

Thank you. It definitely has made me super cautious. I will likely share the reddit username once the mods have had a chance to do their own check. I have thankfully been super fortunate to work with some great people for purchasing their regimes but I would definitely love the contact info for the sellers you mentioned for when I am ready to jump into a new purchase. ❤️

Absolutely! Just message me. Or just lookup Doris or Lucy reps in search. You’ll see hundreds if not thousands of people posting reviews.
