I purchased 3 items from Cinderellas Closet (ONESTPSHOP586) on eBay. I have used PayPal in the past, and this time they offered me an option to use Bill Me Later, which would defer the charges for 6 months and give me a $10 discount also. Too good to be true? I should have known better.
The merchandise was shoddy. It came from a catalogue company called Collections, Inc., and the seller never had to pay any shipping; she just had it sent from the company, which ships freight free. This did not stop the seller from tacking on inflated freight charges in addition to a hefty profit for her. I returned the items via UPS as instructed.
The seller refused to issue a credit, as she said she never received the merchandise. Well, of course she didn't. She instructed me to return the items to the catalogue company, and they issued me proof that they received them and issued a credit to the seller's credit card. Bill Me Later kept sending me notices that I owed late charges. I have a very thick file of correspondence that was necessary to get this resolved. Never sign up for Bill Me Later. Their customer service is a joke. Plus, they removed the $10 credit promised, even though I made subsequent purchases and charged them to Bill Me Later. They also said the deferred payment plan only applied to the very first purchase and wanted their money now.
