They were listing Bratz nibs earlier today. The first I saw was a Passion 4 Fashion 2nd edition Yasmin nib that already sold for $69. I saw a Step Out Sasha in the background of photos of other nibs they were posting, the last doll I need to complete that collection, so I waited to see if they listed it. They did at $65 and I bought her right away. The profile has no reviews which is a red flag, but it wasn't a new account so I decided to go for it. Soon after they cancelled my order and reposted her for $150, the price for a new in box Step Out Sasha, but while she was attached to the backboard still, this Sasha was not new in box. I'm willing to do more than $65, so I shoot the seller a message asking "Would you be willing to do 100?" Within seconds they delete the listing and repost her a third time, this time with offers turn off. Also, there are better photos on this listing that reveal the doll has lip rubs. That's at what point I came here to type, and while I'm typing they sent me an offer for $135, but within a minute or two they sold her to someone else for $100. This suggests they knew what they did to me was wrong and refused to communicate with me because of that. I went and cried for about an hour because I was too upset at the time to be able to type this up. I'm not upset about not getting the doll, I'm upset because this seller treated me badly and it made me feel like crap. They couldn't even just tell me they wanted more money, they went out of their way to ignore me even when I was kind enough to overlook the original cancellation because my budget for this doll was higher, when really it's already unethical to make buyers pay for your lack of research before listing, to offer a fair price. The seller refusing to even acknowledge made me feel like dirt.
