Well, I'm home and I sent the seller a message on eBay. I think I'll give them a day to revise the sled auction before I report it to eBay. I really don't mind people using my descriptions, so long as they ask first (she didn't), and credit the source properly. Hopefully whoever looks at the auction will check out CC and know how to better spot fakes while they're searching for stuff. I just don't understand where common courtesy has gone in the world.
lovejt - welcome

I don't let my charms anywhere near water, either.. I'd imagine that would lead to them tarnishing and breaking down faster. If could also eat away at any adhesive used on the crystals.
ChanelGirlE - I know this answer is late, but all pre-orders are usually listed as "backorder" on the major sites (NM, Juicy's site, Bloomie's, etc) even though they haven't been released yet. If you place a pre-order you shouldn't have any problem getting your shipment.
Raquelle that really sucks that your "friend" has done that to you.

It's going to suck even more if you have to start selling off items to cover her irresponsible actions. I hope everything comes through for you.
TCC congrats on the octopus! I love that one so much.. I think his "alien" head makes me love him even more.
LV sorry you had a wet jeans breakfast! It might not have been so bad if it was water.. but apple juice.. yikes! I'm surprised you weren't stuck to the seat by the time you were done.
dolllover I hope you get your charm mixup straightened out, especially since you finally landed the ghost!
dusty - CC has an average of 40 readers per day, although it spiked up to 170+ during the panda contest. I have a feeling she stumbled across it via a search or something (only because I honestly doubt that a true collector would just lift someone else's information like that, or be unable to come up with their own description) and just took what she wanted for her own use. I wouldn't mind so much if she had just asked first. THANK YOU for pointing it out though, or I would NEVER have known!
I have to agree with
Tup on jeremiahandlibby's auctions. I don't recommend buying from them, ONLY because they get their stock by bidding on questionable auctions on eBay. I am also super concerned about the heart & arrow charm - there is more than one version out there, but I thought it had some sort of black design on the reverse side? You can tell from their photos that they only show ONE side of the charm and not the other, which leads me to believe something might be flawed on it. And the geeky lipstick may have been one of the smaller charms that came attached to the Juicy perfume bottles when they first started.
