Is there anything i can do to get my money back from a creator that didnt come thru with a product? I bought two of her products and spend 7000L. I received the one package and was to receive the rest of the other package in 6 weeks.. Its been now 10 weeks i still do not have my product and have asked the creator to either give me back at least 2000L of my money so that i can go elsewhere. She has told me on several occasions i would have my product and each time the day comes and goes and I am still waiting. There is a no refund policy at her store. Fact is.. I dont have the product so i am not asking for a refund i want my money back for something that i paid for and did not receive. MY questions is.. Am i SOL or is there anything in TOS against false advertizing? She takes peoples money and doesnt come thru with the product.

File an AR and keep in mind for future reference not to pay in full upfront. :/

Sorry you had to deal with that situation but do try sitting down with her before you assume she's ripped you off. There could be a legitimate issue keeping you from getting your product.

We have talked with her over and over... every time a new excuse and because of a mutual friend we gave her the benefit of the doubt... her responce is to mute those who ask her questions about when to expect what they have paid for... she tells us a day then either does not show or ignores IM's... She has also done this to several other people. her business is a fraud. Her last responce was you will get it tomorrow... Funny though unless she is Annie tomorrow has yet to come.

Then file an AR and try using Live Help to pull a Linden around in-game. They might not be able to do too much if it's he-said-she-said but you never know.

Why am I not surprised that this is in regards to prim babies? There have been multiple threads in the past and it seems to be not all that uncommon that people have problems with this sort of product, although I'm not sure if its always the same place.

From what I have read before, and knowing LL's stand on this, you are most likely SOL. About the only thing you can do is spread the word about what happened to you to your friends and in the third-party forums.

Because of certain TOS issues we can neither confirm nor DENY that remark. All I can say is momma had a baby and its head fell off

is even if this Business was flawless - 9k for a sim pregnancy and prim baby is BEGGING someone to come along and do it better/cheaper

IMO anything you have to pay for up front is a scam. I choose to only give someone money if i'm getting something in return instantly like if i purchase a box that contains the items or pay into a vendor created by either me or a well known vendor creator.

They sell babies?

Do they come with mayo or do you add your own?

If you do, please remember that I prefer mine well-done and no mustard.

Hrm, maybe you should try putting up a BBQ and Grill restaurant instead.

To the OP: I'm sorry to hear you got ripped off. I hope everything works out well for you.
