:cursing::mad: These dang eBay sellers are eally pi$$ing me off with their greed -- let's face it, most of our orders were probably canceled because ebay sellers ordered the most popular pieces to sell at a huge mark-up on eBay!!

I found the Long Blue Cardigan with a $99 BIN or Best Offer, so I offered her $75 & included a note that I had ordered the cardigan but my order was canceled & that $75 would still leave her w/a profit (even after calculating taxes & fees) -- she counters with $90!! I countered back with my original $75 offer and said, "I'm sorry but as much as I want this sweater, I just won't pay that much more than retail. At $75 you're still making a profit. My order was probably canceled becuz ebay sellers bought them up to sell at huge markups & I won't contribute to that"

Of course, she came back with an offer refused (I expected as much!) - It just really makes me mad how greedy some people are. It's obvious that she bought it to sell at a profit and she didn't buy it for herself & just change her mind (or that it didn't fit), because if that were the case, even a small profit would be better than returning it -- but no, she wants 2x the original retail price! (it'll serve her right if it ends w/o a buyer!!):censor::cursing:

Maybe you can get the cardigan at a better price through an auction. I also had to have the blue cardigan, and instead of going through the BIN method I just went through an auction and got it for $77. Still well over retail, but it's a great sweater and I just had to have it. :p Good luck with your search.

^ I think you can get it for the price you want down the road. :yes: I have seen some very reasonable listings for various items, and you just ran into a seller who has a certain profit margin in mind. I think it is interesting that if you posted this in the eBay forum, you'd likely get very different reactions.

Several members post in the "peeves thread" about best offers, explanations as to why sellers should sell at this price or that price.. and let's just say your lecturing type of message (at least that is the tone i am sensing) would probably not go over well. I understand your frustration :flowers: but if a seller counters with something you do not like, then just find another auction. There are plenty out there. Just my two cents.

I sell on ebay too and for most things I completely agree with the sellers who have set profit margins, but for this stuff -- when so many people were disappointed due to the greed of ebay sellers -- I have no sympathy or room for understanding. I have listed a few things from Missoni for sale and my BIN price was the price I paid + taxes, shipping and fees -- no more, no less. So I know that on a $50 sweater, there's a profit to be made on a $75 offer -- anything more is greedy, IMO.

Thankfully, I didn't cave to her offer -- I just won it for the exact retail price I would have had to pay + tax. :yahoo: (I just hope I went with the right size!)

Now if only I could get as lucky with the brown zig zag sweater!!

Glad you finally got one. :D I'm having the same problem with my cancelled bedding order. I don't know if I want to pay ebay prices and I doubt I'll ever find it in-store. Plus, it's not even for me! It's for a guy who could probably care less whether he gets it or not. I know, insane. :noggin:

At least you are getting some notices. Nothing has shipped from my orders except one tie...and I have so much outstanding. I have the feeling my orders are just being ignored by this company.

I guess, I will be waiting until December 2016 for my orders. :search:

I wonder how/why they canceled some orders, but left others in limbo.
I received 4 out of five orders I placed (altho I was able to cancel a few items from a couple of orders). I only had one order -- the first one I placed for the items I wanted most -- that was canceled. I had recd a delay notice for two of the items in the order and heard nothing about the other three (they still had an expected delivery date that had come & gone) and then the next day, they sent me a notice telling me the entire order had been canceled

what really pi$$es me off is that I know that some people received the very things that were in my order (that was delayed at first, then canceled) and they placed their orders later in the day than I had

Same thing has happened to me, iluvmybag, over and over again. Yesterday someone said they received a pouf that I ordered on Sept 16. They ordered on Sept 19 and mine still hasn't arrived and I got a delay notice for it on Oct 2.

I won't even tell you how many orders I placed (not for resale for me and family members) and we didn't get a third of what I ordered. I can tell they are doing nothing with any of my orders, but they haven't cancelled. It's like they are ignoring them.

Has anyone here, or heard of anyone having Target.com ship the blue (no Zip) long cardigan recently? They have delayed mine in my order, but it was not cancelled. I am just wondering. I am soooo tempted to just buy off ebay.

Another inventory tracker success story:
I found limited availability plates in the store near where my mom and sister live and asked them if they would check to see if the plates were actually on the shelf.
They were there; thus, my sister finished the set of plates for me!
Woo Hoo! No over-priced evilbay plate quest!
Cheers again, Miss Kris! :yahoo:

I ordered 4 of the toss pillows in Famiglia online this morning( they were 20% off because I bought 2 or more) and am shocked that they actually shipped them out already. Can't wait to receive them!! :D

Returned my blue zig zag dress, pumps, and purple scarf today. None fit into my lifestyle. (plus I barely wear heels, and if I do it better been those darn CLs that are in my closet!)
However I found a journal and 2 candles today! Those will definitely get used as soon I get home!

I found the prep bowls thanks to Miss Kris' inventory tracker at one Target. I went to another one & I saw a black/white tankini top. It had no price tag & I tried to get it for the usual online clearance price of $10.06 but the manager priced it at $19.99 + tax (he said it was a bargain but I thought otherwise lol) so I passed.

I really need Missoni for Target rehab lol I think the last two items I want are the brown/gold space dye cardigan and the cardigan Emma Roberts wore, then I'm done... at least I think I am lol

Went to Target today to return the floppy hat (I just wasn't going to wear it), and there were quite a few new returns. I picked up the short zigzag blue dress (too short for me to wear as a dress, but soooo cute over jeans!) and the loop colore pillow! I was so excited about the pillow!
