transaction problems with Toccyn - RESOLVED

Nov 20, 2006

    1. The name she gave me on the money order was Clarissa Jones. The name on her email account is Claire Dull. When I did a search on both of those names, one common name from her town came up- Clarissa Dull. I am not sure if one was her maiden name or whatever.

      Believe me, I don't want to call a bunch of people. It's not very fair to me, but I am not doing anything to harm them, except ask if there is a Clarissa there. Besides, if she doesn't contact me, I have to figure out some other way to get in contact with her (giving her the benefit of the doubt) before I have to contact a fraud agency or the authorities.
       
    2. if you have her address, why don't you do a reverse address search in the white pages for her phone number online? It'll give you the phone number for that address, unless its specifically unlisted, which means you're out of luck anyways.
       
    3. :sigh yup, not hitting anything. . .

      well, here's hoping that it comes either today or tomorrow. bumpity doo.
       

    4. I would try Clarissa Jones then cause with an e-mail account-- it can be any name. But you know for a money order, she needs to present and ID and such.
      Like I said-- I have her #-- but chances are-- it won't work out since she has moved. >_>;;
       
    5. I paid $105. >_>;; That money could have gone to a number of things, and now it's gone.

      It's been OVER a month. Don't you think OVER a MONTH is long enough???
       
    6. bumps for update.

      . . . and no, not because he came in. :(
       
    7. bumps. Nothing, yet again. >.<
       
    8. Gosh, this is weird....I know it's probably no comfort to you but I thought she was a really nice and honest person to deal with...

      I hope she sorts herself out soon and you get your body....
       
    9. nada over here. Sent another email. I admit, it wasn't a very nice email either.
       
    10. okay. last day for Toccyn to PM/email/call me.

      bumps in hopes I will get something today.
       
    11. :bump bump for you! (Please post pics when bodies/heads show up!)
       
    12. One would hope. . . thanks for the support!

      I hope Toccyn replies/calls/emails before tomorrow morning, as I will be going to the authorities. :(
       
    13. bump as Toccyn has been reported to the police and FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center for fraud
       
    14. bump. went to the post office itself today, and nothing.
       
    15. Can you put in a claim with Paypal? I haven't heard you mention that yet... but you may be able to get back your money that way. :(
       
    16. She sent a money order (there's a pic of the end of it they give back in the first post)
       
    17. Yup, and in my case I used the good ole personal check. That was cashed way back on the 21st. >_<# Unfortunately, I'm not with a bigger bank, so my piddly local bank isn't very helpful in that situation.
       
    18. yeah, I paid with a money order. guess that'll be the last time I trust anyone, even people going through divorces that have small babies.

      bump in hopefulness.
       
    19. peach-and-lime, i understand your situation and how you are feelings (and rightfully so!) but i think the message under your name is a bit innapropriate... it just looks like a method of spreading poison, and it doesnt endear you as a victim. :(
       
    20. well, I don't know what else to say. I am being ignored, as are 3 others. I thought it sounded nicer than 'is being scammed by Toccyn'. besides, I'm not trying to endear myself. I just want my money back, or the doll. I didn't put this thread up so people would take pity on me, only so other people would know that people on DoA are missing almost $700 worth of stuff from Toccyn.

      but I can change it. :sweat
       
    21. Perhaps something is very wrong. None of us have heard from Toccyn since the last time that you did, and I, for one, am worried about her.

      I can understand you being upset, though, and I wish she would get in touch with you. But because of the type of person she is, I don't understand why she -wouldn't- have...that's why I'm worried.
       
    22. See, and that worried me too. In fact, that is what I was telling the cop that came to my house. He seemed to think she was just some scammer, but I told him about the board, and how many nice people are on it, and how most of us are a certain way (of the non stealery kind). I told him her family issues and expressed my worry on what if something else had happened (in which case, I would feel terrible, and if I got in contact with her, would drop the charges). But I don't know, as I have heard other things from the Hagerstown PD directly. So, i don't know what to think.

      If she would just contact me and give me what I paid for, or the money, I'd drop charges.
       
    23. A business transaction is a business transaction. No matter the circumstances of your life, you're still obligated to finish a transaction. To claim you sent something KNOWING you have not, is fraud. To take money and not send the items, still fraud. If it's a missunderstanding, it can be cleared up easily. If it's not, no matter what the reason...people were still taken for their money. If something DID happen to Toccyn, I'm very sorry. However, it doesn't explain why transactions that were suppose to be settled BEFORE now, are still unsettled. She could have been in a car wreck a week ago and is unable to send emails to people...but that wouldn't explain why items she claimed she sent a month ago are still not at their destination. As someone in this thread said before...one item not arriving on time is one thing, but all three?? If she didn't send them, she need only to admit to it and try to set things right.
       
    24. ATTN: I HAVE RECIEVED THE HEAD!!!! THE POSTAGE ON THE BOX IS FROM DECEMBER 12TH. PEACHES AND LIME!! HOPE YOUR BODY IS ON THE WAY!!!!! ENKI AND MEL I HOPE YOUR STUFFES COME AS WELL!!!

      Oh thank GOD!
       
    25. Dec 12?? wow.....
      I hope you guys do get your stuff soon.
       
    26. Oh thank GOD!

      Awesome! ^_^ I'm not waiting for goods to arrive, I've been waiting on a 'refund' for several months now. (The situation is a little unusual to explain, but Toccyn did promise that she would pay me back.)
       
    27. thank goodness! hopefully mine will come soon too! then I can retract my claims, and have this all be done with!

      hopeful bump!
       
    28. CONGRATS! I really hope the rest come in soon.
       
    29. I FINALLY got my body today. Here's what shape it was in.

      [​IMG]
      Just for reference, what day doesn it say it was sent on? december 12th? Then why oh why did Toccyn get on this thread and say it was sent on the 27th?

      Um. . . yeah. :|

      [​IMG]
      This box was in less than admirable condition. When I first picked it up from the post office and told the lady that a doll body was inside she told me she hoped it was still in one piece. :doh Thanks for instilling confidence, post lady.

      [​IMG]
      Um, yes, that's the doll box poking out. *_*

      [​IMG]
      More ripped up box pics.

      [​IMG]
      Um. . . thank you for the. . . gift? :?

      [​IMG]
      As you can see, there's barely anything in the box to keep it from banging against the edges. I was really worried about what I would find inside.

      Luckily, the body was packed in plastic bags, and there were only two things that I found that displeased me.

      continued in next post.
       
    30. DAMAGES

      [​IMG]
      On the left wrist, there's a big dent. But I don't remember if that was there or not, based on her selling description. Oh well, I guess that's to be expected.

      [​IMG]
      Now, here there is a scar in the next. Not the one on the right side, i am pretty sure that one was there from the selling info. But the one next to the S hook? That one was caused by the S hook digging into the resin. I pulled it out and was pretty annoyed by it.

      There is one good thing about all of this.

      [​IMG]
      Iikiba's finally whole.

      I already contacted the police to tell them to drop the charges, and will be contacting the ICC tomorrow. It's kind of interesting that the dates were lied about, and that she sent mine and sagejupiters' things out on the day that I contacted the police. Is that what finally got her to take me seriously?

      I will change the titles of this page, I'm still waiting to see if Enki got anything. But as a seller, I don't recommend Toccyn. I'm not trying to be mean, but she lied. I had to call the police to get my body, and that was after a month of anxiety, and trying to reach her any other way possible.

      I hope she can get her life back in order, but I am definitely glad this is over and I never have to deal with her again. She has taught me that I am never again to buy anything offline with a money order, no matter how horrible the person's sob story is.

      Thank you all for your support through this! It was a very difficult time for me and my girlfriend. :aheartbea
       
    31. Ah. Thank god your body came in!

      And I do have the impression that the actions you took on the 12th finally got things moving, so thank you!

      Now we can start putting these things behind us hopefully. Just hoping now that Enki can get her items.
       
    32. Any damages caused by postal handlings should be reported to the post office. If significant damage was done, you can claim with insurance.

      The post mishandling boxes is not the sellers fault- however, the delay in shipping is. The giftcard is, i assume, an apology and a gift for delayed shipping and hassle? I know If I take more than a week to ship out an item I refund shipping. But sometimes I have not been able to get to a post office for two weeks, since the post office is, of course, only open when I'm at work.

      Glad you all finally got your items!
       
    33. The gift card is for a place in Maryland. I live in WA. :sweat

      I am too. Nothing could be better, at this moment!
       
    34. From the postage shown, it seems insurance wasn't purchased on it.

      I still think this should be made a sticky--people should not deal with this seller, as she is clearly untrustworthy and has flat-out LIED on multiple occasions to buyers...

      For people who are saying this isn't something serious, or that 'scammer' is an extreme use of the word, it's NOT. Taking someone's money and failing to send an item IS scamming. Lying about a product and lying about when you sent it IS fraud. Buyers should not be criticized for wanting their basic rights given in a transaction where money exchanges hands.

      I'm glad you finally got the body, peach-and-lime, good job fully pursuing this. :)

      Err, yeah, and I seem to recall getting that FREE 'gift card' in the mail a week or so ago, myself. Packing box =/= garbage can. :roll:
       
    35. oh, wow... my jaw dropped when I saw those box pictures :o

      But it's the sellers responsibility to pack the items well, especially when they are big expensive things, like dolls or their bodies *_*

      I'm really glad you and sagejupiter finally got your body/head and that your boy is complete now, though! :D
      I kept watching this thread expecting to see good news ^^

      Let's hope we don't see more problematic cases like the ones lately, it's really scary... ;_;
       
    36. Thank god it came in! I was watching it and hoped it would come in soon. If I ever have a delay in sending off someone's purchase I let them know! Now if Enki can get her things, we'll be set.
       
    37. Oh! I forgot to meantion... HE LOOKS GOOD! And so happy, I can actually see the smile on his face! You might wanna sand the gouge, if it bothers you.
       
    38. I'm so glad you finally got him!!! :fangirl: :D
       
    39. I'm so happy that you guys got your things. I'm still waiting for my refund, but by the looks of things, I don't think I'll ever see my money again.

      Where's Toccyn?
       
    40. I got my things in today, too! :D :D :D

      I'm so happy you guys got your items!!! Now we have to wait for mel to get hers, too.
       
    41. Thank goodness Enki!! So glad you got your things!!! (when was the post date on yours by chance?)

      And goodluck goes out to Mel!!
       
    42. I'm glad that you got your stuff! I hadn't looked at this thread in so long just because I was so sick of this whole mess.

      Again, I want to extend my thanks to everyone who showed their support through this ordeal. All of the kindness I recieved will always be remembered. Thank you all again. :aheartbea :aheartbea :aheartbea
       
    43. I'm still waiting for her to refund my money, and I doubt it will ever happen -_-
       
    44. Well, it's a year and a few months later but I have finally been refunded by Toccyn.

      Here's what happened:

      Sept 2006 I sold two Leeke wigs in milk colour. One was sold to Toccyn and the other was sold to another DOA member, we shall call that person "member A"

      I shipped both wigs and Toccyn's arrived to the best of my knowledge. Member A contacted me because the wig was lost in the mail. I filed a claim and then went to refund her. I accidentally refunded the wrong person, since I just looked at the item, not the person's name. I just saw "milk Leeke wig" and I thought that was the right one. So I refunded Toccyn. I got in contact with her and asked her to please send the payment again. I know it was totally my fault for making the mistake but I was hoping that she'd pay me back since she got her product. She said she would pay me. I never heard from her again.

      Recently, a friend of mine who is on another forum contacted me because apparently Toccyn is back in the hobby and wanted to make amends for the problem transactions she was a part of. My friend forwarded my info to Toccyn who got in contact with me IMMEDIATELY. Toccyn told me that she wasn't in a good place back then and she wants to fix the problem. She was extremely sweet and very apologetic. She sent me a money order for the outstanding balance later that day! I can't believe how quickly she worked to refund me. I must say that the new and improved Toccyn was an absolute joy to deal with. To me she has completely redeemed herself.

      I told her I would leave positive feedback to mark our transaction as resolved, but she said she wouldn't be able to buy or sell in the marketplace with a clear conscience. I'm sure it will be hard for some people to trust her, but she really has made a drastic improvement in my eyes.

      More than anything, I'm glad that there's one less unresolved transaction here on the forum. ^_^
       
    45. She's talked about what happened to her in another fourm. It sounds like she is doing a lot better now.
       
    46. I'm really glad that you finally got your money, I was beginning to think that it was a lost cause for you.

      I wish I could feel the same way, but a small part of me believes that if I hadn't called the police back then, I'd have never gotten my body. If she would apologize for the stuff I went through back then, perhaps I could find an easier way of it. But if she's on another forum, that's probably unlikely, and at this point I don't really care anymore anyway. I hope that she's in a better place now, and she truly is sorry for the pain that she caused others.

      Yay closure! :)
