I have never sold anything on ebay, so that didn’t even enter my mind, Leah. Thank you! I just might try that if at the end of all this, I’m not allowed to return the dress for a refund. Reading anything good lately? 😉 xoxo

Online shopping can be tricky. You could always try to recoup a little of your money by selling on ebay, but I hope you get a full refund.

You’ve experienced this too, Mariah! There are so many things around the corner, as you mentioned. Sobering times. I am hopeful about my refund, but will have learned a good lesson if it doesn’t go my way. And I’ll have a dress to give to my friends. Ha.

I feel ya! We splurged and bought a very expensive blue tooth sound system for our car. My husband is a very tech-y guy (not only is he a pastor he’s an IT professional) but he needed added tech support for some issues with this system. He called the number provided and could not get a response. Emails, calls, no response, eventually the company went out of business but pretended that they hadn’t, yada yada yada. Long story short, we felt that the company we purchased from was mis-representing their merchandise and tech support and we contacted our credit card company. After an investigation that, yes, took months, we received our full refund of over a thousand dollars. These disreputable businesses give online shopping a very bad name! It does seem that most businesses are legitimate and easy to deal with though, which is fortunate because the world is quickly moving away from bricks and mortar to online and electronic! A cashless society is just around the corner as is biblically prophesied! Anyway, I hope you get your refund! I expect you will…credit card companies seem to be fairly reasonable in this regard after they complete their investigations.
