Thread: where is fellow bhuzzer StraightLeftKnee from the UK?!

Does anybody know what happened to fellow bhuzzer StraightLeftKnee from the UK?

I paid for 2 dvd's that she was selling over a month ago, but didn't receive anything and am getting no reaction on my messages, PM or e-mail. She also seems to have been offline since I've sent payment.

If I don't hear from her within a couple of days I have to open a dispute via paypal, but wanted to try this first, hoping that someone is in contact with her and she's alright!

no help on locating StraightLeftKnee, but I thought paypal disputes had to be opened within 30 days after the payment? Hope the cds will come to you through snailmail.

Just checked the paypal site again to make sure: You can open a dispute with the seller within up to 45 calendar days after the payment.

So I'll wait till tomorrow..

I wouldn't even bother waiting - just do it to make sure you don't miss out on the window of time. I waited once to give a bhuzzer the benefit of the doubt, and by the time I realized she had really disappeared with no intention of ever sending my dvd, I couldn't dispute it anymore.

If she shows up and sends the DVD, you can always just resend payment.

I think I know someone who knows her. Will try for you.

Danielabellydance - I guess you're right, and it's such a shame these things happen!
Lizajuk - that would be great, thank you!

So I've just opened the dispute with paypal. It'll be closed on August 7, if she hasn't responded by that time it will escalate to a claim..

I dont know why but I thought that Bhuzzer was male.

I did, too, because she had a male avatar pic for a while.

No.

LOL I thought she was a he to at first!

And she does has a male pic in her profile, but in her About me she writes: Wouldn't you prefer to see a good looking guy on my av than me trying to look all bellydancer like?

I just received the following reaction from her through paypal:
Hi - Yes I can confirm they have been shipped. I'm sorry there has been a problem. Please let me investigate through our postal service. If the dvds do not turn up in the next few days I will of course reimburse you.

So let's wait and see..

Update: I haven't received any news nor the promised reimbursement, so I've escalated it to a claim..

I hate it when this stuff happens. I had a similar thing happen with a new bhuzzer. I purchased a gold cane and hip scarf, sent payment and after a few weeks no package. I emailed her and she said she would look into it then later told me my address had gotten wet and couldn't be read so the post office couldn't deliver it. She said she gave them my correct address and it was on it's way......Well I never received it and she doesn't open the Bhuz messages from me and doesn't respond to my emails etc... I did file a paypal claim which she never responded to and they reimbursed my money. She still posts here and I just find it weird that she couldn't own up to her screw up. I am a forgiving person and have not called her out publicly but I still am disappointed and annoyed at her childish behavior.

I'm so sorry you were involved in a similar affair!

About not naming your seller publicly, if you read messages from fellow bhuzzers that are having a problem with another selling bhuzzer, would that make you consider twice before purchasing from that person?

I would and I know many others will, that's why IMO it does help to alert fellow dancers about a certain dubious seller, hence this thread..

Not saying you should do the same, just my thoughts on handling with and informing others about these issues.
