eBay haul!!!

[HOTasFCUK]

So here's my post from last week and scroll down to find otu what happend!!! I'm so pissed!!!

I finally got a few things that i had been hunting for awhile and i've never tried any of these so hopefully iw on't be disappointed! I('d been trying to get this eyeshadow since the spring and i finally joined the pigment obession club so here's what i got:

Orange Tangent e/s
Deckchair pigment
Goldenaire pigment

I can't wait for them to arrive and i tried pressing some pigments for the first time this week so i'll be pressing my new ones for sure too!

I'm still going crazy trying to hunt down Sunplosion eyeshadow!!!


So today i receive my packages and the freakin' pigments are soooo fake! I compared them to my real MAC pigments and the label with the name is a bigger font and fills the sticker, the name MAC on the box is darker & thicker, the jars feel soooo light, the font is darker & thicker on the jars and don't even get me started at the nasty stuff inside! It looks like its been packed in and all stuck together! It won't move and there is SOOO much packed to the little plastic insert (i think its the sifter??) and the colours don't even look like the ones i've seen here! "Goldenaire" says A19 on the bottom and looks like a pinky purple and "Deckchair" says A12 and looks like a light dusty pink. I'm so disappointed and disgusted. I really want to post pics! I emailed the ebay seller but i don't know if they will respond. If they don't i'm filing a paypal claim!! Has this happened to you guys before? Arrghhh i really was looking forward to receiving those pigments and i paid over $60 US for them. I can just tell by the pictures here and then looking at these pigments that they are not the same!!!!

Sorry for my long rant but on a happier note i got my orange tangent eyeshadow as well (from a diferent seller!!) and it's sexy! I was on my want list for awhile! Ohhh and i bought Subtle pigment from The Bay counter the other day with a gift card i had and its beautiful!!!

Bump!

omg that sucks about the pigments! I really hope that the seller gets back to you and refunds you, although if he's sketchy enough to sell fake MAC then he's probably not very reputable as a seller. That's so unfortunate - I'm sorry !

that sucks! it is always a horrible feeling being ripped off, i bought my mom a MAC e/s off ebay this year for her b'day and then i discovered it was fake

so gutted about that but she loves it though lol

I hope you get your refund asap and let us know what happens

 

[madkitty]

who was the seller hun?

 

[HOTasFCUK]

The seller is bojee13 and they said OMG i'm so sorry! I just realized that my supplier sent me fakes! I'll give you a refund right away because i would never sell fakes!

Ummm they never pulled off their other auctuions for pigments but they have pretty good feedback.

But the seller wants me to return the pigments first then issue a refund. I said nooo, you refund me first (because i spent over $50 USD) and then i will ship your pigments back. What if i send them and he still doesn't refund me or claims tehy got lost in the mail?? Then i'm double screwed! Plus when you ship from Toronto, they do not provide you with a tracking number to the US so i don't know if i trust this guy. HELP!!!!!!

That sucks about your pigments, the only reason that the seller has positive feedback is because some people just don't know any better.

When I first started to buy MAC on eBay I was just so excited to receive my pigments, etc. that I never thought they could be fake, and always left positive feedback for sellers. But after purchasing real MAC from the counter, I know now that I do have some fakes amoung my collection.

When looking at feedback on eBay, don't just look at how many positives the seller has, look at the negatives and read the comments that are included. Judging by the feedback on bojee13 it looks as though they have been selling crap MAC to a few people along with some fake lacoste and polo shirts.

I don't know too much about the shipping back to the seller, I know that in some auctions it states how to go about getting a refund, which usually consists of you shipping your item(s) back at your cost - which sucks. I hope you get your money back!

See if there is any way that you can either get a tracking number (like using UPS instaid of the postal service) or see if they offer signature or delivery confirmation. Then you will have the proof because they have to send the del. conf. or sig. conf. back to you as proof of delivery.

Also, if you paid via paypal, file for a refund due to the fact that the items were not authentic, explain the situation. 9 times out of 10, they make you send the item back with some type of delivery confirmation, that way THEY can tell if it was received, too. Once it's received/delivered, they credit your money back.
