First of all Happy New Year to all the members.
Im sorry for the long post to follow, but i could really use some advice.
About 20 days ago i posted on the authenticate forum asking for help on a Celine mini in camel.
I had some responces concerning the authenticity of the bag, and decided to pay the seller since it was 4 days before Xmas and wanted to receive the bag as fast as possible.
About an hour after i bought the purse, i got a paypal invoice from the seller asking if i could pay her soon, for she was leaving for Xmas vacation and would not be able to ship my bag till after she got back.
Being sure of the authenticity of the bag, i went ahead and paid her through paypal straight away and asked her to please ship before she left.
So 2 days later i email her asking her for tracking etc and get no responce.
Same goes for the next 10 days, where i start to lose my patience, mostly becasue she has been ignoring my emails.
I send her one last one, on the 29th of December, stating that if she does not respond i will open a case with ebay.
Soon enough, i get an email from her stating, she's out of the country, apologizing etc, and promising to ship out my purse when she returns on the January 4th.
Nonetheless, because i want the bag, i say fine i will wait but expect you to ship my bag by the 5th of January.
Long story short, today after having emailed her another 4 times still have no responce from her, and of course the bag has not been shipped.
I opened a case on ebay, but my problem is that i really want the bag.
I think she might have changed her mind about selling, because she accepted my offer for a good deal of a price.
Can you please let me know, if i should just put up with a refund, or insist she sends the bag to me?
Thank you, and sorry for the long post.
