Well, now we know the mystery - there's probably a 95% chance all those items you and I both see on IG and then try to find in her shop are going to that one customer lol. It's frustrating sometimes because I miss out on some really cute stuff, but I try to view it like you do - it saves me money :)

Right?!? "Looks like my name is Kristie today! Heading to check out!" All I *could* do was shake my head in bewilderment. I just can't imagine doing that lmao. Ppl are strange.

Yeah - I cannot fathom doing that. Like, the shop owner said she'll cancel the order and refund the lady her money. She said she does it "every time" so apparently she buys reserved listings pretty regularly. Why would you do that even after experience has shown you consistently that this plan is NOT going to work?? But as you said, I got my lovely items in the end and the shop owner seems content to roll with it, so all's well :)

Triangle jeans?

Yes the jeans with triangle top

Lmao! That's hilarious! But you're the buyer whose package got mixed up with mine, right? Not the one who snatched up my reserved listing, right? :)

lol Yep, I’m definitely the first one. 😊

@@EmmyM8888 whew! Lol. Well I'm glad I gave you such a good laugh (and glad you got your jeans! )

Again, I don't wonder about her bookkeeping. She is a skilled and prolific sewist who sends out great items in a very timely manner. I hope that my response to your other comment helps clarify the seller's position and approach.

I appreciate that she has an approach worked out (relist the same item so the person won't purchase it the second time and then cancel and refund the lady's order.) But if that's what she does, I cannot fathom why the shopper does this REPEATEDLY? Ultimately it didn't hurt me at all, it was just utterly bizarre.

I bet you *do* have a lot of interesting stories! Grace and I used to have a Harry Potter themed Etsy store years ago and all our stories were good ones - interesting, but mostly lovely!

@@agtakesover I'm so glad you had mostly lovely stories. We've had some doozies.

Well, the first buyer commented on this video (through tears of laughter) to tell me she just didn't see Bobbi's message initially but she did see it in the end and sent the three items back to Bobbi (and got her jeans). As for the other buyer, no idea who they are (or if they're a viewer lol)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it (and Bellaboos Closet is a shop I never feel bad about sharing because even though she might not have the exact same items I show in stock, she does *always* have stuff in stock and her work is fantastic!

Oh, thank you so much! What a kind thing to say!!

Oh, I'm so glad you like them!

So wild that it's apparently a thing that someone would buy a listing reserved for someone else. Like...do they think the seller is going to just go, "Oh, okay. I guess I'll sell it to you instead"? So weird.

Yeah - I've ordered from her like 4 or 5 times, but that's been over the course of 1-2 years (not from Monday - Friday of one week!) To each their own, but it couldn't be me :)

Yes - I was floored when she shared how long she's been sewing and how quickly she is able to complete pieces. And thrilled when she was able to create an outfit I wanted in a different fabric. One of my goals for this year was to spend more supporting independent sewists than shopping directly from AG (no boycott - just wanting to show extra love to all these creative, talented ppl in our community) and she's definitely making that easy.

Sometimes I get confused about different agtubers' stories - are you in Canada? This shop is Canadian. And I agree - Ivy would look very cute in the jumper!

Yes I am in British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇦

I might have to agree with you. There are other shops I really like, but when you factor in the fact that she always has stuff in stock and she has a good mix of basics/staples and clothing with more personality/statement pieces, it does make her shop stand out.

Thanks!!

Yikes! The seller didn't realize??

You should just message her and see if she can make some for you.

@@agtakesover k plz tell me how 🤔

The main things I have gotten on Amazon for the dolls' wardrobe have been a multipack of white t-shirts, one of colored t-shirts, and one of shorts.

Guess you’re an influencer cause I bought that denim jumpsuit! I messaged her and luckily she had one made up already! Thanks!

A worthy purchase - I hope you LOVE it.

Right - It kind of screams Julie and Evette to me, but it's gonna look good on pretty much every doll.

Yeah, that's probably true. Especially when they're in their "Rapid Acquisition Period" of doll collecting! lol

LMAO she sure did!!

Right?? - I cannot fathom doing that. The shop owner said she'll cancel the order and refund the lady her money. She said she does it "every time" so apparently she buys reserved listings pretty regularly. Why would you do that even after experience has shown you consistently that this plan is NOT going to work??

Meaning you don't have any weird stories from shopping with her? This was definitely a first.

@@agtakesover Sorry I admire her stuff from out people who have purchased from her. I have purchase a lot on Ebay and a couple of Etsy sites. I like supporting small businesses but I have had issues with quality control(mainly the finishing on items) on Etsy so I tend to do it only if it is something I really want. Last year she made a knitted sweater I thought was amazing but I knit and talked myself out of ordering. I did actually receive someone else purchase once but I called they send me a paid label and I returned it. Then they sent me my original order minus the stuffed dog I ordered for my grand daughter and they just shipped me a new one so everything ended well. LOL I guess I did have a story.

@@nailahvenable7989 gotcha. I do like that her shop has stuff already made up so shipping is really fast.

omg right? I was just so...surprised that someone would do that lol

She really is! And such a PROLIFIC sewist. She was telling me how quickly she is able to make these pieces and I was just floored!

You are so welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you!! I really do appreciate having some Etsy shops like this that just have stuff in stock, because I'm not cut out for the stress of limited drops lol.

I'm so glad you were able to make it to the premiere - it was nice seeing you in the live chat :-)-

I think ironing and steaming fall into the same category - neither is hard, just a tedious extra step I don't enjoy so sometimes I whine about it lol. Someone reached out to her about the jumpsuit after watching this video and she already had one made up, so they were able to snag one, too :)

Agreed. She's Canadian so I wonder if it works out to a better deal for her with the exchange rate. But also, from what she was telling me, she is a VERY quick and prolific sewist. She used to sew wedding dresses and then switched to doll clothes when her daughter was young.

She listed it because she had to. That's how I purchase it. That's how I get a tracking number and it counts as a sale and I'm able to review it, etc. She put "Reserved". When her enthusiastic customer snatched it up, she listed it again so I could get it and THEN she refunded the other person's purchase and canceled their order. I'm not sure what else she could have done and I didn't see anything suspicious abut it. The only inappropriate thing was the customer clicking "BUY" on something they know was not reserved for them.

Yeah - I cannot fathom doing that. Like, the shop owner said she'll cancel the order and refund the lady her money. She said she does it "every time" so apparently she buys reserved listings pretty regularly.
