Complaint filed by: mary.s.currie@breathemail.net (Mary Currie.)

I have had dealings with a bad trader. My name is Mary Currie and I live in Scotland. Her name is
Ginger Carson
119 St Therese St.
DIEPPE, New Brunswick, Canada.
Her email adress is gingerc@collectaholics.com. She trades on Ebay as gingerc.

I agreed to trade her a Buckingham Buddy and a Unity bear for a Maple Buddy and a Chinook bear. We both (supposedly) posted our parcels on 18th July and she received mine 2 weeks later. She said that she had got in touch with the post office at her end, but in the meantime she would send me a second parcel and mark it with a (2). Well it has been over 3 weeks since she (supposedly) posted the second parcel. I have since done other deals with people from Canada and their parcels arrived in under 2 weeks. I hope that you can help me solve this matter. I would be very grateful for any help you can give me. I received this email today is response to my post on traderlist: It is from

Rosemary Bennet - RBENNET@lmi.org

"I just read your post on the Trader list about Ginger Carson. I had problems with her a couple of years ago. I bought a Maple beanie from her on auction and the one I received had a hole in the head. I sent it back to her and when I received the next package it had a pugsley in it and she claimed that I was lying and that she really sent another Maple.  Her boyfriend Dan Thibodeau is a really vile person. He sent me threatening e-mails and used the most vulgar language I have ever read. Some nerve when they were the ones that cheated me. I never got the Maple. She had the nerve to leave negative feedback for me on BN, can you believe that. They are real crooks. Best of luck to you   Rosemary"  

Thank you    Mary (Scotland, UK)

I could not believe what I received in the post today, a package from Ginger Carson. It contained both the Maple Buddy and the Chinook bear. It was posted on 3 September 2001. (she was supposed to post the first package on 18 July and the second package on 17 August). There was no letter of explanation in it. I think she must have finally come to her senses when I threatened legal action. I still know of others who never received their goods, so I would not take her name off the bad trader list.  What gets me is that she never came back to either of us when we said that we would put her on the bad trader list. Knowing that she eventually posted the package to me, you would think that she would come back in defense of herself. Underneath the label with my name and address, there was another label with the name and address for a gentleman in England.  Thank you for all your help.    Mary

At the beginning of August we arranged a trade, I would send her a Buckingham Buddy and in return she would send me a Special Olympics Valentino, both of these are TY products. We agreed to send out at the same time because both of us have good references. I send my half and about two weeks later she confirmed delivery. She then mentioned that she had not sent her part of the deal because she found that it was damaged, she said that she would send me other 5 other assorted Canadian Bears instead which I agreed to. I was very suspicious by this time. As you can guess, nothing arrived and she has not replied to any E mails since then.  and I have never gotten my part of the deal. Thanks for all your help and if you need anything more then please dont hesitate to contact me. I will, in the meantime continue to mail the thief and see if I can get a reaction by threatening legal action. Regards.   Steve Blencoe

The reason I am writing is because of a message I read on the trader list from Mary Currie. I don't know if you remember or not but I had trouble with Ginger Carson and Dan Thibodeau (her boyfriend) about 2 years ago and the gist of my problem is in my message to Mary below. The only thing I have left electronically is an e-mail message that I can no longer open because my software had changed. I will send it to you just in case you are able to open it and read it, but it is from the boyfriend, Dan, and it is vulgar and vile. At that time I was told by you that nothing could be done since it was a "he said, she said" issue but I think at this time it is pertinent for you to recall this incident since it may help show a pattern for these 2. There is no question that people that would steal a Maple beanie that I paid $110 for (at that time that was the going rate) and send a pugsley are capable of anything. Best regards,    Rosemary
