Negative Feedback All About my BAD experience I'm having with X_KAZAKAI_X the novel-Kaza, send my head!

Feb 26, 2007

    1. As much as I do not like starting threads like this because I believe in trying to work problems out privately and professionally, but this issue has gotten to be more then I care to deal with and to the point that it needs to be spoken about.

      I will start from the beginning. Within the first few months of belonging to DOA, I befriended a user, X_Kazakai_X. Kaza was extremely nice and we hit it off as friends right away! He asked me for a commission (actually my first one of the forums), and I made it up for him and mailed it out. Kaza exclaimed he was very happy with it and I didn’t hear much about it for a while. A few months later we begin chatting on AIM, and he brings up this old commission stating that none of it fits his doll properly and I “owe” him new clothes for his dolls. I told him that if he was not happy with it, I would be more then happy to take the items back and refund him the money if he had told me in the first place (those of you who have worked with me before and anything like this has happened, you know how flexible and easy I am to work with when it comes to this kind of thing). Because I was upset that he was not happy, I agreed to make him a free pink & black Mohawk hoodie, and I even sent him a pair of SD13 black boots (I bought them and they ended up not fitting any of my dolls) out of the goodness of my heart.

      After he gets the hoodie and the boots he tells me how fabulous my items are and that he wants more. Because we are friends, I offer to make him a few pieces in my SPARE TIME (clearly stated may times that I am busy with commissions, and I will make the items when I have more free time, but I did not know when that would be) for his boys. He insisted on sending me ‘what he had’ in paypal ($15) to me. I told him there was no need to send me money, but he insisted and sent it anyway.

      Mid-December: K-doll is running their last batch of Kamyu heads. I have been hoping for one of these heads, and so has Kaza. He IMs me on AIM and tells me how it’s the last day to purchase them from the website, and how he does not have the money and is really upset (I was planning on ordering my head after I found this out). Because I feel bad. I offer to pay for both of Kamyu heads, so long as he pays me back for his. He contacts someone he knows on DOA to order them:

      I paypal the money to the owner of K-doll:


      ...and after telling Kaza that I want the heads shipped to my house since I was fronting the money (I should just hold k-doll responcible for not shipping to the CONFIRMED ADDRESS ON PAYPAL), he emails “Moris” (I do not know their DOA name, as he just FWD’d me the above message) and tells her to ship them to him. I’m slightly upset about this, but I am happy that I’m going to be getting my head. I would like to make a note that Kaza did partially pay me for the head (I told him not to worry about the rest of the money, which was aprox another $20 or so..):

       
    2. Kaza IM’d me sometime around the first week in January and told me that the heads had come in. I told him I wanted my head shipped, but he insisted on giving my Kamyu a free face-up, and it would be shipped out the second week of January.

      After numerous times asking when my head was going to be shipped, the answer was always either “tomorrow”, or “when its not so cold, I have to walk to the post office”. It is now February 26, and I still do NOT have my Kamyu head. Because of some financial problems, I was planning on selling my Kamyu to another DOA user (which I still havn’t received the payment for), and apparently Kaza and this person see each other at meets. My original plan was to have Kaza hand off the head once I got the payment.

      This morning I went to check my PMs before my class and I had a PM from Kaza. Here are the PMs (in order) that we have exchanged (Kinda mixed up in the PMs.. You know how crazy PMs can get - I'm sure you can figure it all out. The very middle is where you start!!):


      So basically, you can see for yourself where the rest of this is going without me explaining it. My hopes for this thread is to get my head and end my communication with Kaza. I would like to note that I have refunded the $15 thru paypal for the “commission” that was stated earlier, and upon receiving the head, I will happy reimburse for the shipping and handling expense. I've talked this all over with one of the Mods (whom I'd like to thank for helping me out). I would just like this resolved... now.
       
    3. Kazakai's Marketplace privs have been suspended until she has resolved her outstanding transactions. She will only have access to the Feedback forum.
       
    4. I'm not trying to get involved where I shouldn't but, I was asked by Kaza to post this for him as his side of the story:

      He's taking a break from his computer for stress related reasons and that is why he could not post on his own.
      (I am just posting what I was told, word for word. I can't say anything further than that and am not going to get involved beyond that.)
       
    5. http://denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120602

      A break? Certainly not before posting a new Yo and responding to compliments! And I'm wondering if the "stress related reasons" are none other than a buildup of guilt from transactions gone sour, like this one.


      Good luck Becca, I hope this turns out alright for you! I know x_kazakai_x has been involved in stuff like this before, and I hope she fixes things soon.
       
    6. The Yo brings up a very important point- Kaz said that she had no money to ship Becca's head with, but she was able to afford a new Yo-SD for herself?

       
    7. Do you have all your receipts? You could get her on fraud and theft if she doesn't send your head soon. Especially for changing addresses on you. That is criminal, and you can press charges for it. You can also sue. All you need are the emails, and the receipts.
       
    8. This is a reminder that if you are not directly involved in the transaction, then please do not post additional commentary as it will be deleted.

      Thank you.
       
    9. Just wanted to give Becca a reminder that your address is in the 2nd post, and you might not want to leave it there...
       
    10. Thanks Hisaki ^-^

      I was just all riled up yesterday about this. Thanks for pointing it out. I fixed it.

      DieCG - Yes, I have the refund recipts and everything. If it doesnt get resolved soon, legal may have to be my next move. I hope it doesnt have to get to that tho.

      This whole "handing off the head thing" was only recently because he DIDNT ship the head to me (recently as in.. maybe 2 weeks ago TOPS). I figured if he was going to see this girl in person and since they both said they knew each other it could just be handed off. I no longer want to do it that way, I just want it in my posession.


      edit: "asked becca over aim what she wanted done to her kamyu, she kept changhing her mind so i waiting patiently adn worked on what i could while trying to figure out what she wanted. one i got him painted she wanted him modded, then changed her mind a few times about it...in the end she decided against it, that took a few weeks mind you..."

      This is not true. I told him I just wanted it sent to me, but he insisted on painting it. We had discussed a possible mod during the waiting time while it was being shipped, but I had made up my mind I didnt want him modded by the time he got to Kaza. I can't find the thread that was started for Kaza's Face-ups, but he had pictures posted of my head around the 2nd week of January, proving that it was done (I will update this topic later with the pictures)

      "i asked her to pay me for shipping by the form of a money order or cash in an envelope or something because i have NO Money on hand...(i dont have a job anymore)"

      this is really neither here nor there, but Kaza never asked me to send cash or a MO. He kept telling me that he just couldnt make it to the post office for one reason or another. Never asked me to cover the s&h. And like you guys mentioned before -- plenty of money to buy new dolls, but note a spare $5 to ship me my head for 6 weeks? I had been NOTHING BUT NICE about this whole situation for 2 months, but when someone starts demanding things from you.. well, I'm sure you understand.

      But as I said before, once I actaully get him, I'll gladly send what it cost to get here. And you guys dont even WANT to know how many times I've sent my address to Kaza... he even has it nurmerous times in PAYPAL.

      edit:
       
    11. Becca: Kaza also has my Homme Kirill. When I first agreed to use Kaza to give my Corbin a makeover everything seemed good, reasonable prices and a very chatty guy. Said after I get it it'll take a week and then I'll ship him home. Then after two weeks without any updates he finally gets me pictures, runs out of testors, so i ship him my bottle of msc i bought, he gets it, likes it, but then the two sprays battled to the death and the paint lost... so he redid him in two nights took more pictures, the second go around ended up better than the first to begin with so that I don't care. He's supposed to have mailed Corbin yesterday, but his lack of communication in the past few days makes me wonder if he held his end of the bargain...
       
    12. and mine, at least on my end... he does great work, but his lack of communication is what concerns me... and his mother never cashed the check i sent for the return fee.
       
    13. no of course not.

      Well it seems, as I just got IMed by Kaza on MSN that Corbin was shipped yesterday, so if he's not here by this weekend, I'll be throwing a fit to the post, and to Kaza until i get my boy back.

      Becca: thanks, I hope you get your head soon.
       
    14. I wonder if that means Kamyu was shipped today too? I sure hope theres tracking... did you get a tracking number?
       
    15. claims he didn't get a tracking number...

      and i'll ask him on the head, he's on BRB but he was talking to me so hopefully he comes back. :sweat
       
    16. Ok, I think I'll go ahead and get my money back...I am glad I haven't shipped my heads off to him yet!
       
    17. hahah good luck with that...

      Becca: nope no head... Kaza ran off when I asked him... :...( got all fussy... I don't understand what the problem is... sweet kid, just not very business minded.
       
    18. Once again.. Do not post to this thread unless you have new information or updates to add.

      While I understand that you are angry with Kazaki for the transaction, we will not allow this to turn into a "let's bash her while we wait for our stuff" thread, so please keep the excess conversation out of it and stick to the facts, please.

      If further posts like this continue or if more people who are not involved in any transactions with Kazaki at all post here. this thread will be locked and Kazaki and Becca will need to PM a mod when they need to add new information.
       
    19. As an FYI, I did have success getting my missing head back from Vanillashine when I filed a police report -- you'd have a strong case, given that Kazakai re-routed the shipping address without your permission, and has kept the head despite repeated requests that it be sent to you.

      Please contact me via PM if you have questions about the police report process.

      As Hitasura said, however, please don't add to this thread unless you are actually a participant in a transaction with Kazakai.

      Thanks,

      -- Andi
       
    20. sorry! we'll keep it to the PMs then. I agree though, if you don't see your head in the next couple of weeks, go after Kaza... it's just not right.
       
    21. I just wanted to make a note here that this is the PM I sent to Kaza (incase PMs dont work or something..)

       
    22. Just as an update:

      Kaza says she shipped the head today. Didnt get tracking, butdid insure the package... I'll keep you guys updated.
       
    23. Okay, I hope it's okay for me to post this here, since I have an on-going Kazakai transaction, too. Prepare for the drama. -__-;; Okay, SEVERAL months ago (November), I wanted to have my new Iplehouse Lion, Chiwoo head, and Nanuri head pierced and faced to suit the characters they were meant to be. I went looking through the customizers thread to find someone who could do what I was looking for, and X_KAZAKAI_X really caught my eye. I sent him a PM asking for an estimate and a time table. I won't list the price, but he told me that once I sent him the money and the dolls, it would only take about 2 weeks and he could ship them back. The price was right for me, and the timing was perfect, since I was planning to give one of the heads as a gift to my friend for Christmas. So I sent the doll and the heads to him, and at first the communication wasn't too bad, and he responded regularly to my PMs, and the work went by quickly. I received a couple pictures of how the faces turned out, and I really loved them.

      I ended up waiting until after Christmas to send the shipping money via snail mail (I didn't want it to get lost in the holiday mail confusion), and I sent exactly what it cost me to ship them to him with tracking and insurance. I let him know I was sending it and asked him to let me know when it arrived, and I got this response:

      Well, I waited about a week and a half for a reply to let me know, even though I know it only takes about 3 days to get from where I live to where he lives. This was the PM I sent him and his response:

       
    24. Needless to say, I was ecstatic! I had been wanting to have my boys back so I could show them off and finally give the head to my friend. So I waited a little while, hoping to get a tracking number or something from him. No luck. I waited another week, thinking maybe he'd shipped them, but just hadn't thought to give me a tracking number. They never arrived and I never heard from him, so I PMed him AGAIN and he responded to me:

      That last message from him was dated 01-24-2007, 02:25 PM, more than a month ago now. I've PMed him time and again since then, with no reply, aside from him telling me that it's too cold to walk to the post office, or he doesn't have the money. I can understand the weather thing, we had a huge ice storm not too long ago, so I didn't press too much about the weather thing. The money thing though, I sent him money JUST for shipping them back to me, and he somehow had enough money to buy SEVERAL new dolls recently. My biggest problem right now is that he won't respond to my PMs, and the last message he sent me was just this:

      This was sent to me on 02-16-2007, 05:59 AM. Since then, I've started checking the weather in his hometown quite often and MANY times this last week, it was well above freezing and I'm sure the "5 feet of snow" must have melted at least a little.

      I guess the bottom line is this: KAZA, I WANT MY DOLL AND MY HEADS BACK!! If anyone has any advice or can get in contact with him, please let me know. I've been patient for a long time now, but my patience is gone. I would appreciate whatever anyone can tell me.
       
    25. Also, I want to point out that the thread where I originally commissioned him was deleted. He recently started up a new thread on the customizing section in the Marketplace.
       
    26. MagickDraven, I PM'ed you a day or so ago about how to file a police report -- did you get it?

      I was able to successfully get my missing head back from Vanillashine after filing a report (it tends to light a fire under people), so I very much advise this course of action in order to get your missing property returned.

      Thanks,

      -- Andi
       
    27. Oh, sorry! I did get the PM, and it really helped. Thanks so much Ashbet! I did manage to get ahold of Kazakai this morning (3/5), and she said that my stuff would be shipped today and that a friend of hers on DoA would send me the tracking number. No tracking number yet, but I'm watching for it. -___-;;
       
    28. Did you get your stuff yet?
       
    29. I hope somebody will remind him to send my doll's pillow back because i've been trying for over a month to reach him and haven't heard a word. I've sent pm's through DOL, tried repeatedly to reach him on AIM with no response though he's always logged online, and even emails. No response at all. When he sent my doll back to me he forgot one of the packing pillows that go in the carrier bag. He hasn't sent it back yet.
       
    30. Who, exactly, is still missing things from Kai? (PLEASE NOTE, this is not an irrelevant post! I am in frequent contact with Kai and want to help get this mess resolved)

      If you can tell me what it is you're missing, I will do my best to get it back to you.

      Those who have recieved your stuff (as Kai has told me stuff has been shipped), be big about it and tell us you got your stuff.

      *shot for over-use of the word 'stuff'*
       
    31. wait, Kai is still allowed here. that's not fair to kick kai off of the boards then how will any of you get ahold of her?

      Kai has been in constant contact with me about my doll's head,faceup and impending shipping. I have no complaints and in fact have found kai to be one of the better traders here.
       
    32. Ah, I was under the impression that because of the many problematic dealings, her privilages in everything but the feedback forum were revoked. My apologies for any misunderstanding.

      I wanted to post to the thread that Kazakai was posting, in case people still had not recieved any word from her.
       
    33. I need the pillow from my carrier bag for my doll. It's I think green and white flowered pattern. That's all I need returned. Just the pillow.
       
    34. I just got stealth bombed out of the blue with an instant message by that Kaz guy. By the time I had typed a reply, he was gone.

      He said:

      "ok i dont have time to talk or argue, but i am going to say that ive been looking for the pillow and it is NOWHETE to be found. as i had told you previously i just moved so i dont know where alot of things are..i can pay you but you spazzing on doa over a PILLOW is making my life insanely harder than it needs to be. so if you want PM me wiht details and ill pay you a bit for the pillow. (you can buy them anywhere btw)"


      I'm not sure what this is about or why the hostility. There was a thread about those who've dealt with this person and I posted that he still had my pillow and I hadn't been able to reach him. Someone came in and asked who had things that hadn't been returned yet from him and I replied, "just the pillow". How is that translated in to "Spazzing on DOA over a pillow"

      I'm sorry but I'm just a bit confused as to how my trying to reach someone through Instant Message, Private Message, and Email, with no response whatsoever over lost property is considered "making someone's life insanely harder than it needs to be" simply because I publically made slight mention of it in the appropriate forum? Appearantly there was no other way of getting a response so what am I supposed to do? :|

      I mean, it's not like I im'd every day or even every week. I wasn't a pest about it. But it's like I'm being a neusence because I tried to get in touch with someone over getting my property back.

      Ok, since the pillow is so insignificant (as it seems), and you can buy them anywhere BTW, go over to dollmore.net, buy one just like the one I had with my Husky SA, and have them ship it directly to me. That way you wont have to ship it to me when you get it. That ok? You need my address again?
       
    35. Kaz can't actually access this forum for some reason >__o; She has no access to any of the Marketplace subforums.

      You might want to PM her, luvje0rdie ^^;
       
    36. As stated in this post by Nikita, kazakai does have access to this forum.
       
    37. I know, which is why I was surprised when she told me she didn't :/ I don't know. Perhaps a mistake on the part of the mods?
       
    38. Looks like kazakai's access to the Feedback subforum was inadvertantly blocked when we had created the new Commissionables subforums and modified the forum persmissions.

      She now has access to the Feedback subforum once again.
       
    39. I don't know what's going on. All I know is I got an imstant message tonight (that I pasted above) and he immediately signed off the second he sent it so responding would be impossible. I'd been sending PM's through DOL to him. I'd sent instant messages whenever I saw him online. (which were not responded to) So it's like I'm going,

      Hello...

      hello...

      Been trying to reach you.... Hello.


      Then I'd just quit. I sent a couple emails and nothing. So then someone posted this thread and I saw it. I read that noone should reply unless they had had direct dealings with Kaz. Someone said they were taking messages for him and that he wasn't online for a while, so I posted here in this thread, "Would someone tell him he's still got my pillow.." And then they came back and replied asking who's missing what basically. I said as for me, "just the pillow".

      And that was it. Then I'm online tonight and I get this instant message that was in my opinion, scolding me for posting about it in DOL. I mean, I sent private messages, instant messages, emails. What else am I supposed to do to reach him? Use the force?

      So I guess my only thoughts as far are "What did I do?"

      So that's fine. I don't care. If he wants to replace the pillow, he can do that. Dollmore.net was where it came from. I don't know what his moving would have to do with not finding the pillow. I mentioned it to him months ago, long before he moved. He said he saw it laying there and had no idea why it was there or where it came from and I told him it was mine and he said he'd pop it right in the mail. I was actually expecting it within a couple of days. Then months went by and nothing. You'd think he'd have mailed it back when he packed it up with his stuff for the move. I don't know why he's being so short with me all of a sudden.
       
    40. How many people still have open transactions with her? It's important for us to know when the transactions are complete.

      And yes, she still has her Marketplace privs revoked. She can still see the rest of the forum and receive PMs so that she can stay in contact with all those who still have open transactions with her.
       
    41. wooowww it amazes me that people are so shallow that hey wont own up to me actually having sent things out. becca needs to grow up.

      she sold the head in question to edible cookie and i havefriends who have SEEN THIS HEAD IN REAL LIFE.

      as far as magickdraven goes i have no solid proof shes goten her dolls because ive tossed out all my old insurance adn tracking slips, but i think i still hav e the pms i sent to her after i shipped them out.

      i also asked the girl with the pillow to PM ME and she still hastn, i dont look at this thread because my end of its done.. so if someone needs to contact me please PM ME AND NOT MY FRIENDS.
       
    42. I'm only posting to say that I have indeed recieved the Kamyu head I bought from Becca. She was nice enough to remove the faceup and some the ciggarett tar and smoke on it.

      But it took me a few hours to get the rest off. I was very distrought about this head for so long worried I wouldn't get him. I didn't care at all about the hardcore cleaning I had to do on him. I hope everything is soon resolved. And that my posting that I HAVE RECIEVED WHAT I PAID FOR has cleared things up slightly.
       
    43. Not quite on topic, but has Kazakai been banned from DOA? I saw that her username has been switched to Banned.
      (Posted here because I think this would be relevent to those who had trasactions with her)
       
    44. Yes, she has been banned due to all the problem transactions she has had on DoA. We were just waiting for the transactions to be complete. Though if there is anyone else left I recommend you contact her through email or perhaps try her LJ. You will no longer be able to PM her here.
       
    45. Well great, that explains why my PM wont go through then. (sigh) :|

      You know what? Screw it. If he doesn't want people on this board discussing his transactions with his friends, then he should take it up with his friends, because they've been the only help in attempting to resolve things by contacting US on his behalf. Geezzz Louiseee!! :barf

      Edited to say: Here are two PM's I had sent him before.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Been trying to reach you on IM, but no luck. I was wondering if you could mail my pillow out. It's the green one with the flowery pattern. Here's my address again.

      (I opted to delete the address in this post, but it was in this PM)


      Here is the other one. I sent out the same repeat message because I copied it from my sent mail box:

      Been trying to reach you on IM, but no luck. I was wondering if you could mail my pillow out. It's the green one with the flowery pattern. Here's my address again.


      After this I IM'd him several times. Everytime I did, the AIM window stayed open and there was never a response although it said he was online. I would leave it open with my responces to him the entire time I stayed online, sometimes for hours, and never a reply. I'd sign off and do it again another day when I saw him online. Never a reply. I don't know why he was apparently online and not responding to any IM's. I never had that responce from him before.

      Anyway, after I got that weird instant message from him the other day when he immediately signed off (why he did that I don't know. If he wanted me to speak to him and give him more information concerning my item, one would think he'd have just stayed online and spoken to me then instead of typing that message, clicking send, and running off) But after I got that IM, one of his friends Pm'd me and asked how much the pillow was and they offered to send me money for it, another person PM'd and offered to make a pillow for me, and then I got another PM where a friend of his said they were going to his place and would literally look for my pillow (which was all the nicest offerings anyway could expect in the world from complete strangers, not to mention people who had no involvement in this particular thing. I was very grateful. Thank you all again for that.) So I waited to see if my pillow would be found (which it wasn't) before having anyone send me anything monetary for it. So, that's the newest up to date:

      I'm literally bewildered at this reaction from kaz to everyone, myself included. I feel I've both attempted and successfully contacted him enough about this. What I feel right now, is this: If he had no problem contacting me via AIM to scold me for mentioned this at all in here, then why couldn't he just speak with me about it then? And further more, if his friends and complete strangers can contact me about his unresolved transactions, then why couldn't he?
       
    46. Uh, I got my dolls back. I posted that in a few places, I think. :sweat: Anyways, threatening her with file charges is a sure fire way of getting your stuff back, just in case anyone is still missing stuff.
       
    47. Did yop update Bad Dolly deals yet?

      I'm totally happy to hear that you're pressing charges!!!!!! Hope you get your dolls back!
       
    48. Indeed! I will make a new post on Bad Dolly Deals and update my thread here as more happens.
       
    49. another sad case,i hope u can get ur head asap :D cheerios !
