Evelien - I have contacted the seller and she says she'll be contacting her post office this weekend to look into it. Part of me is hoping that she really forgot to mail them and that is the real problem, which I am more than willing to forgive :) But if they are lost in the mail, I'm not sure what we work out next.

Have you looked on Amazon? That is where I bought Violet from.

I guess there is a decent amount of them being sold on www.amazon.co.uk or www.amazon.de

OMG. I just contacted another member who paid for the same item at the same time. Apparently the first buyer never cancelled the purchase. She opened the case and left the negative feedback last week. I just found it yesterday. I'm reporting it. Hopefully ebay gets me my money back.

Yeah, but buying from there is more expensive for me than buying from particular other sellers on eBay :), and I'm not just talking about the one I just bought from.

@ Greyhaunt - sounds a bit better I guess, let's hope the package turns up..!

@ Landwhale - OMG. That is horrible. I hope eBay's buyer protection will be good enough to save you here. Luckily you're not alone in the case, I'm sure the other person will back you up.. if he/she ever received the Obitsu to begin with?!
P.S.: May I ask who the seller is, seeing as I just bought a 60cm Obitsu too, be it not on eBay..?

Honestly I'm beginning to get a little worried too...I found a doll head I really want and it's only got one bid on it: 99 cents with nine dollar shipping. For a limited edition Azone head that is incredible. I'm keeping my eye on it since it's a character I know I can just buy a new body for easily or have Riven deal with being a floating head for a month or two.

I just hope I can get it...I also hope everyone's ebay troubles clear up.

Evelien: The seller name is x-mas_2010_auctions2010 but that doesn't help with anything since the account is only a month old. They were selling a bunch of large SDs as well. All the photos looked to be in the same room so I didn't doubt the seller. However the other buyer also did not get the item. If you pay through paypal you have 30 days i think to open a case. With ebay I have 45 days.

Eh I just suggest Amazon because it's guaranteed i think?

Oh dear.....do I smell scammers? I think we may need to hire some dollieh detectives to find other possible version of the seller...
The ever growing wishlist: Hujoo Dana, Obitsu 40, and an army of other Obitsus with anime style heads.
The more expensive end of my wishtlist: Limhwa Half Elf and Elfdoll Soah, my dream dolls.

Landwhale, oh wow, that sucks, good luck :(. Not only do you have a payment to get back and a mess to clear up... you'll also miss out on a new doll :( :(.

Almy, I don't see any reason not to trust eBay sellers.. most of them selling Little Pullips represent stores and have thousands and thousands of positive feedback. I really don't see why I should pay more on Amazon for the same item and possibly less service and communication :).
