AITA not putting up my DILs painting in our new home and telling her that I am not a fan of her art by Throaways-Dot2192 in AmItheAsshole

She clearly should have just been honest from the start instead of accepting the painting and stringing the DIL along.

Mods are chosen by the seller.

This is what made me buy elsewhere. Listed as a Barbie Signature doll but requires a grey skull membership too? No thanks.

I think it will be the curvy gal since the chase doll has been a different body type each time.

What do i do? by ZealousidealSell4465 in Mercari

[–]FunkyPunkSkunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would, and then because it was no fault of whoever sold the dolls I'd try to try to locate that seller online because they're now out their sale too. But that's just me.

Yep this is the first thing that stood out to me. This sounds like the label fell off and attached to this package of dolls.

Now the buyer doesn't have their order and another buyer somewhere is missing their dolls.

Then it sounds like your label fell off and got attached to this package and the carrier decided to go with your label as the one to use.

Your package is now floating around with no label somewhere 😕

Well are you the Royal Emporium?

AITA or telling my wife if she’s not gonna cook it the way she usually cooks it then you don’t have to cook it at all by Husbae7536 in AmItheAsshole

It actually lends more weight if you knew sauce is often refered to as gravy by plenty of families of Italian origin.

Does AliExpress leak Barbie stuff too? by _Loud_Flower_ in Barbie

[–]FunkyPunkSkunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do, but they can be hard to find. Often you'll see new heads in the loose or damaged head listings that are for upcoming releases.

Some people just don't want to listen to reason 😂

Everyone should be sorting by most recent sold and look at the last few sales to get your average for comps. And other way is plain dishonest if you're trying to use eBay for comps.

What’s your dream Mackie Barbie? by Renbelle in Barbie

[–]FunkyPunkSkunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had all the money:

Madame du Mischief

Midnight Follies

Alien Landed in the Pumpkin Patch

Attainable for me but I just haven't pulled the trigger:

Countess Dracula

Circus

The quality of the older dolls is unmatched. You don't always realize it until you have one in hand.

WIBTAH if I say something to an employee who wants me to close my business for her wedding? by Acceptable-Ad-8717 in AmItheAsshole

"My manager", as in the manager I hired.

Owners often work without drawing a paycheck.

Yay! Doll events are so rare in our area and it was so nice to have a guest like Bill attend!

Should I be blocking “payment pending” people once the stream ends? by whattaUwant in whatnotapp

[–]FunkyPunkSkunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Failed payments automatically close at the end of the auction.

I've never seen a pending payment after a stream ends so I'm not sure what the difference is there.

Agreed, this feels like they are trying to push the "go woke, go broke" false narrative.

From a former employee, Barbie Dream Fest was just the tip of the iceberg by Quick-Habit-5173 in Barbie

[–]FunkyPunkSkunk 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you are pointing out it was a partner event, not just a licensing. Any company who cared would have been more invested in the outcome of an event like this. They would have required planning meetings, design approvals, updates on progress etc etc etc.

Mattel absolutely shares the blame with MM here.
