Gem was fake, discoloured and badly cut - amature like. I contacted her before the rating as per her request for a replacement/refund but got insulted. Seller will not refund 100% and will charge shipping on top of everything. Gem is substandard, fake, discoloured (blue colour is faded) and the whole thing looks like a piece of glass. Seller refuses to give any documentation with gem but claims is authentic. Will never deal with her again. Be warned!
Loraine, you received the gem on auction, 100% authentic Sapphire, your opinion is that it is fake. I don't sell fake gems. Refund -10% handling - postage was offered to you as per my terms & conditions on my auction. NO documentation was OFFERED either on the auction. Be warned sellers, this buyer expects more than whats on offer on auctions. Responded 10 Sep 2007
Paid for my purchase, then the seller had some excuse about not being able to log onto BoB. Asked him for a refund. Never heard from him again. I see he is now blacklisted.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Bob blacklisted me for debit orders that did not go through because the credit card were stolen a while ago and stopped (The reason we could not get in). But it's all sorted out now. Hope you'll understand the dilemma, and change the rating when you receive your item in order - C'mon, you're only paying R2 for a beautiful pair of Garnets at 1.1 carats :-) Responded 11 Sep 2007
The products were incorrectly advertised, and also, the seller insists on bypassing the BidorBuy payment system. I prefer to go the safe, recommended and accepted route. I asked that IF she could not go via the website, my bid be removed because I do not trust the situation. She has now accused me of unprofessionalism, because I did not want to pay her way, which makes me wonder even more about her credibility. I do not deal with frauds. Thank you!
