Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the help greatly. I think the buyer is having buyer's remorse. I don't want my bag outside or to get damaged. I have a lot to think about. Once again, thanks!

I am going to take my bag back and resell it. It is a great bag. This happens to all sellers, so I am moving on looking forward to meeting the right buyer. This buyer was very rude and arrogant. She made accusations that were not true. I am glad it's over.

I got an offer on Bonanza today. Only the second I've ever gotten on Bonanza. I was so excited I accepted it on the spot. Now I see the buyer just joined Bonanza today. She has been sent an invoice but hasn't paid. How long does she have to pay? Does Bonanza have something like the unpaid assistant on ebay?

I'd say that 80% of my buyers on Bonz just joined the day (or wthin a few days) of the offer or purchase.

Since they're new and there's a learning curve, I usually give a couple of days following the invoice for them to figure out how to pay. If I don't hear from them either with a request for help or with payment, I send a message asking them to contact me if they need assistance with making payment.

Generally, within a day of the followup message, they contact me or they pay.

If I don't hear back, they usually don't pay and at that point, I relist the item. (If they do pay, you can always delete it from your listings.)

After a week passes, you can mark as "unpaid" and the FVF will disappear from your fees.

Thanks! She paid so it's all good. How do I find out how much my Bonanza fees are?

Click on "my booth" in upper left
Under "Welcome back" scroll down to the bottom of the column to "fees."
Click on fees and go to "current statement."

Thank you! How come total fee and total owed for the month aren't the same? I only had one transaction.

It looks like I never paid the fees for the sale I made last year since they were under the $3.00 threshold! For that month, the total fee and total owed for the month match.

I find that fees can fluctuate during the first few days after a sale. I was told it has something to do with Google exposure but after the price stabilizes, the total should be the same.

I have a buyer question today. I am watching an item, and the seller has stated in the listing that they will eventually lower the price if it doesn't sell. I am interested in the item at a lower price. Is there an app or website that I can use where I can put in the specific item number and have it alert me when/if the price drops either via email or text? Thanks!

I purchased a few UGG boots from the nordstrom rack website because they were a great deal and I wanted to resell them. I got them today and they STINK like chemicals. They also don't have a silver inner security tag but they have one stuck to the box and the bottom of the left shoe. When scanned those say they are authentic with the correct style, size and color. I am so nervous to resell them now because they have all the signs of being fake. Has anyone ever gotten fake goods from the nordstrom rack or known of UGGs that smell awful that are real? They were dyed bright red but I just can't imagine UGG making such a horrible smelling kid's shoe.

I think it is possible there are fakes sold in department stores because someone could "return" a fake to the store and they might not notice. I've ordered Uggs directly from Uggs and the rubber soles stink. I recently ordered some Uggs with knit tops and the tops also smell.

Without seeing them, it's impossible to authenticate them but I've seen/smelled authentic stinky rubber.

I also think the I(heart)Uggs smell worse than the shearling ones.

In fact, I bought some Coach jelly sandals at a department store and the smell was so bad they gave me headaches. I returned them.

Keep in mind that rubber is a petroleum product and will sometimes smell like petroleum.

If I'd bought them, I'd return them. If you're bothered by the smell, no doubt a buyer will be unhappy too.

Yeah I think I'll return them next time I go to the rack (I feel weird returning rack items to the regular Nordstrom). I contacted UGG and they said most likely they were authentic but from pre-2013 so they don't have the inside security tags. Maybe they sent some dead stock they found to the rack which is why it was so crazy cheap. Bummer but thank goodness returns are super easy. :p

I returned some Coach sandals once because of the smell too.
