Does anyone here shop with the Bead Bucket? They disappeared from E-bay today and the store name is now changed to "store closed 2009". They have no listings. I have $400 in beads that I bought and have not received yet. I only paid 10-4 so I might not have received them yet anyway but now I'm worried. I did get a package from them last night with a bunch of beadsand two that I ordered in that order were missing. .......Sort of scared about this.

They haven't disappeared, actually. They changed their name to store-closed-2009 (that's what the 2 little men with the reverse arrows beside the name means). If they were no longer operating on ebay there would be a NARU beside the name (no longer a registered user) in red. Even if they had been de-registered, your purchases are still protected by Paypal.

"store-closed-2009" is such an ominous name. it's or of like "end-of-world-2012". Do you know when they will list again?

So, I was at the U2 concert last night. Looked down and one of my gold w/diamond clips was gone. Yea, I'm happy. What would cause it to come uncliped? My only thought is that when I did the bracelet, the sales associate had a hard time with one clip, the beads were so tight that they couldn't move. My guess is that it just popped.

Oh, no. You must be very upset. I would be. Any chance it came off at home or in the car? Somewhere that you could possibly find it? I don't know. Just wishful thinking. So sorry you lost it.

I am so sorry I know exactly how bad that feels; it's happened to me with a gold clip. I do hope you find it in your home or car... :sad:

I nearly lost a clip a few months ago, my 6 year old son was playing with my bracelet (I was wearing it) as we walked into a supermarket and I heard a ting on the floor, I looked down and there was my clip, I was shocked, I can imagine how upset you must be. Lets hope you find it around your home or car.

Wow, my BF is not fond of clips because she imagines this scenario. She goes all beads with safety chains. If I ever create a all gold Pani I will remember this thanks for posting.....I hope it turns up think positive!!! :smile1:

No good news to report. Couldn't find it anywhere. So, I bought another one. My bracelet is gold and silver combo. I just put on gold clips, and 2 gold beads. But, I learned a valuable lesson. The section between the clips were packed so tight the beads couldn't move. Not anymore. I was told by the jeweler that puts a strain on the clips. Also to be careful when wearing your bracelet and removing a jacket or coat. To make matters worse when I went to pay for it...I realized it was a babbling brook. Ouch!

Thanks for all your responses. I guess I'll give them until maybe Wednesday before I get too worried. There are tracking numbers on all my orders on E-bay.

The order I'm mising two beads from has 2 tracking numbers but I've only gotten 1 package. It was shipped on 10/6 although I paid on 9/29. I got it yesturday. The second pakage said it was shipped on 10/6 as well but it has not yet arrived.

The big order says it was shipped 10/7 although I paid 10/2.

I guess I should get them by Wednesday or I should be concerned but not before then.

It just freeked me out that they disappeared. No completed listings even on their profile. The store is done.

I won an item last night. I think I'll wait to pay until I get everything else since they allow 7 days to pay.

Here is my update.....I received my big order yesturday and everything was there from that order. I still have not received the missing beads from the order I paid for on 9/29. Monday I sent Bead Bucket a question about why I have not received the 2 beads. No response yet. So today I opened a query on paypal in the resolution center. We shall see what happens. I think it was probably an honest mistake. I'm just not sure how it will work out due to the fact they are closed.

Well nothing gets a seller's attention like an open dispute, lol... I'm sure now they'll respond to you. Good luck! Hope everything works out for you!
