I need some help with a Trade gone bad. I hope that you will get a chance to look over my complaint. I had a Trade with Rose in March for 6 Pluffies and a Baby TY. I sent my Items for that Trade. Then in April TY anounced 3 new Pluffies and we talked on IM and she asked if I needed those also and we agreed on a Trade for my 3 Punkies for those 3 Pluffies. Her Friend is a Retailer and would hold them for her once they come in. I have no record of that conv as I never in a million years believed I would be contacting you. Well I talked to her on May 21st after her ignoring my E-mails for some time. I did copy that Conv and it is included in this E-mail. She now owes me 9 pluffies and 1 Baby ty. She got my package but never sent me anything. The last I talked to her was on May 21 and she said she would be sending that week.  I had traded with this Person several times before and never had a Problem. I E-mailed her a few Days ago to see if she sent them out but no response as always. I had another Person contact her and she never got a response also. There is also another Person Rose ows $ to since December.  I recently found out she is planning on moving to another State as she is having marital Problems
Here is her Address and E-mail Address. I hope that you can help clear this up.

I hate to speak badly about Rose because I did consider her a friend...I am not sure what has happened. It's like she dropped off of the face of the earth. I sent Rose a bunch of beanies and a buddy prior to the holidays....we agreed that she would pay $45 for all of them. She kept saying I will pay you after the holidays because money was tight...I gave her the benefit of the doubt...but now I am beginning to wonder. We even sent each other birthday gifts and she sent gifts to my kids etc....a real nice relationship. So I am reluctant to complain about her and I am genuinely concerned. I know many others have had problems with her as well....I don't know what to think.    thanks Chris

I am still waiting for two bears from Rose. August last year I sent Rose two ty bears in trade for a Ted e and a kanata( ty bears) I am still waiting. I've tried emailing her on several occasions with no reply. I must admit I've traded with her twice before and after months of waiting finally got what I've traded for, but nothing this time and she Seems to have disappeared, or is avoiding me. If you hear anything please let me know.   Thanks    Susan.

I 'thought' I was a good friend of Rose, but despite it now being over a year since I sent my first lot of bears over to her to trade for some, I also have not gotten anything back. There isn't much value to my ones..well not now anyway, it's been way too long, but the fact remains I sent her 5 commons and an England (New at the time), her selection of 6 Champions (again brand new at the time, 6 of us split a set) and also a few other small value bears in exchange for again low value bears, but ones I am missing from my collection. Each time excuses were .."I'm short of funds to post, my daughter is leaving to go to another state etc" And also forgetting which ones she was due to send was another, I think now in the hope I would forget which ones I was owed. But, when I had a page on an MSN group on my collection page I put down my  collection and the ones owed by Rose..but with>>>>>>awaiting next to it.
The last time I spoke to Rose I once again asked her if she would send me them, again asking which ones and I pointed her to My Collection page. Also bear in mind that this was not long before the site disappeared! hmm. I haven't seen her on MSN lately, maybe I'm on her banned list(?) but I did email her about 4 weeks ago now, and I'm still waiting for a response. I don't usually trade, but a good trader in London told me she was really good and fair, and had never let her down. This whole thing has put me off trading...and she was my first! I will continue selling my bears on eBay.   Let me know if you want anymore info

I was amazed to see all the complaints about Rose. I too had a couple of good trades with her, then I started to get the run around over a Color Me Bear I painted for her. She promised and promised to send me the other part of her side of the trade. Eventually I just wouldn't speak to her anymore, she lied and didn't do what she had promised. It has been about a year now. And to think she called me her dear friend, HA! She was a member of a beanie trading site, but I noticed she no longer is a member.Beware of her.
