I got inspired to post this after reading about Foxy's bravery in another thread about a woman trying to rip her off after buying a $4,000 red Chanel.
Mine happened this summer too. I was selling some Louis Vuitton Impulsion sunglasses on ebay, which I had bought straight from the Saks in Birmingham Alabama. I should have KNOWN from the get go that the buyer was VERY fishy. I had a buy it now or best offer and she put in an offer and I sent a counteroffer. Well, she was asking questions like could she have the receipt with the glasses and I said yes (like an idiot) and then she asked if they were 100% authentic and before I could even answer the question, the auction ended with her accepting my counteroffer.... I was so taken aback, but I was happy to have sold something and I was like whatever. Anyway, she paid really really fast, and the next day, I shipped them with the only receipt I had (like a dummy) to CALIFORNIA where she told me to send and it was also the paypal confirmed address. I put the receipt in the box with the glasses and they were absolutely perfect.
3 or more weeks later, she says they aren't authentic and there was NO receipt!! I was like omg, this woman is scamming me. I knew right away! So she thought she had me by having my receipt. I jumped up RIGHT away and headed to Saks to see if they still had my purchase in the system and they printed off another receipt. So, I emailed her and was like look hun, I have another receipt to prove that these ARE authentic! It was insanity! So then she decides that they are authentic and says she trusts me, but then says they are damaged and took pictures of what looked like she had put glue or something on the hinge. I was like OMG! I told her I KNEW I sent them perfect and I DID have extra detailed pictures for my own records! Then she said that she took long reporting because she is in CHINA, and I was like, well I sent them to you in California.... so she said I sent them to her sister who then sent them to her in China LOL and I was like, that's against rules anyway. So anyway, before she even asked me straight up for a refund, she left negative feedback on my ebay about me refusing a refund when we hadn't even gotten that far yet. She filed a paypal case and I had already been in touch with paypal at this point and I sent them ALL of her emails and my responses so they could see. I even sent them the pictures she showed me which looked so contrived. Then when she thought she was going to lose, she said she would settle if I gave her $80!! I said NO. I stood my ground because this lady obviously wanted SOME kind of money out of me. She wanted those glasses for free and then just wanted SOMETHING in return! I was not going to let her have ONE penny back! I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt after she tried to settle with $80 that she was a crazy con artist. If they glasses had indeed been bad, she would have wanted to send them back to me and gotten her money back... not keep them and get $80!
So anyway, it's good that I stood my ground because I won the case and she never emailed me again. Only thing that hurt me was the 1 negative feedback because it was my first and I am not a store, so I only have 40 feedbacks to begin with. 1 bad one can bring a score way down!
To conclude, the buyer is bonniechan_cn1 and she has done it a couple of times before she did it to me. I hope Foxy wins and stomps her scammer in the ground! I hope Foxy's scammer gets more than mine did... arrested! Because Foxy's case is much bigger and worse. Mine was $400 and hers with another zero on the end!

yeah, blocking her is good especially if you sell really high end stuff. She just might creep up on ya
