Little Black Bag

[javagirl87]

Holy cow! I was literally opening the chat window to cancel my bag and start a new one with a necklace I actually like of high value...when low and behold someone takes my offer!! I had no idea they would take that considering it was a -$30 offer!

Edit: it was actually a -$34 offer because she took one of the items i gave her and traded it for my eyeliner haha she must have really wanted eyeliner!

That was AWESOME!!!

Not sure if it's been asked before, but I was wondering: you know how they show a preview of your two mystery items? For me it shows 2 ZAD jewelry pieces, no matter what main item I choose. Is this really what my mystery items will be or are the default "items" and it's something completely different?

Thanks girls!

It was a -30 offer! You only paid $50 for an $80 piece of jewelry!

As I told her, I want to pick my OWN colors, my OWN style for my home and my personal wear.. I'm there to buy a purse, maybe some jewelry, but don't make me BEG other people to take pity on me and trade the ugly nail polish they stuck me with after I bought the most expensive bag on their site.

She said that they were changing.. That due to customer feedback, soon we will be able to put a block on product types we absolutely do not want, if there are any.

I told her, I am a BUYER type person ( just ask my husband), not a TRADER type person, and I need a Shopping Assistant of my own to do this trading system thing with people I don't even know.. I didn't want to insult them with nail polish and body scrub, so I took what I was sold.

Now, I have a question, and this is important to me-- I read the Return Policy, such as it is stated on the website. What they do NOT say is what happens if you wish to return the entire box. Do they refund the purchase price, or do they do their " Retail value $149 minus $49 payment."

When a new user of the service reads the policy on PARTIAL refunds, it is not very clear.

I know I'm not paying them to keep what I've already paid for but do not really want ( at all).

Thanks for any help with the way they handle a return of a complete box.

Uhhh it seems you are on the wrong website. LBB isn't a shopping site. You get what you get, if you don't like it, you trade. Those are the rules. Who the hell are you to think that they will give you a personal shopper to do trades for you??? Go to Macys online or something, then you can be a BUYER type person all you want. You paid $49, you return the bag and they give you your $49 back. Or they will give you credit, extras in your next bag, FOR YOU TO TRADE. I recommend you just get your $49 back and run along.

It will be two ZAD items, if you wait long enough it will change to something else. Also if you put different things as your first item, the two might change, especially if the price difference is large enough. You might be picking similarly priced items which is why you keep getting two ZAD every time. If you look at the news feed you'll have a good idea what the two ZAD items are since everyone else is getting them too.

I think your missing the whole point of the site, which is to trade others for items that you do not like but they love.If your not a TRADER type of person then don't go on  trading type of site there are plenty of buying only type of sites out there.

Ahh I realized that after haha! And she took the $22 necklace I gave her and traded it for my eyeliner /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> so I traded up even more! I hope she really wanted those items, I'd feel bad taking such a nice necklace from her for so cheap! But if she really wants them then i'm happy I gave them to her!

I don't think lbb is for you. You didn't buy the most expensive bag they have, you chose it, and paid the same price everyone else did. Trading is the entire point of the website. 

 

[VintageSpade]

It never fails, I trade for something, get it.....and don't like it after all. Those branch earrings just couldnt do it for me.

Thanks, Donna!

Two people have those Rain spike and skull earrings and neither will accept or decline my offers

 

[lechatonrose]

I almost wish trades only lasted 24 hours so people would have to go online and accept/decline

 

[VintageSpade]

I'm online quite a bit but 24 hours would be waaay too short for me.

 

[GirlyEnthusiast]

OMGGGGGGGG I've been trying to get those Betsey round crystal earrings since I discovered LBB lol. I need a stiff drink to celebrate this glorious achievement.

 

[lechatonrose]

Lol glad the trade was good for you =D

[glamourdolleyes]

Anyone notice that it ALWAYS says 5 of 10 remaining? I don't think I have seen anything different.

Some girl reallllly wants my $55 RJ multi row bracelets. She's offering $91 worth of stuff, but none of it is super good.

I have a bag actually that says 2 of 2 remaining, but yeah, you're right...5 out of 10 is more common.
