Vintage Blind Item - A Kit Kat can't change it's spots

A former ebay seller who built a bad reputation as a buyer, is still up to her old tricks.

From the surface, this seller looks very successful, professional, with beautiful stock. But many ebay sellers know otherwise.
This person buys alot on ebay to resell. No problem there, reselling is fine, if she can flip it and make a profit - great for her. The problem with this buyer/seller is that sometimes, when she receives the item, she claims it is damaged to try to get a discount. She then threatens negative feedback and PayPal chargebacks if the seller refuses to give her a partial refund. Some sellers who have refused to give her the discount have received their items returned to them with fresh damage courtesy of this person.

This buyer/seller then lists the items in her shop, and like a miracle, the damage that she claimed was there has disappeared - it has suddenly become flawless in her hands.

She no longer sells on ebay but she is selling on etsy. She no longer models her clothing and her trademark prop is gone, but it's not too hard to spot her listings.
She buys under several id's on ebay. I'm sure there are sellers who have dealt with her without incident and hopefully her customers are happy with what they buy from her. But just be careful when dealing with her. Document your dress thoroughly with many photos so that she can't try to claim it is damaged.
