So, a certain person asked me to do an exchange with them. They're pretty well-known and they've never gotten any bad feedback that I've heard of.
Summary of what happened:
June 13- We agree on what to make for each other.
~July 15- I mail my side of the trade
Early August- She recieves my side of the trade and takes a picture of herself with it (I have proof she got it, basically)
(some indisclosed time inbetween) She deletes the pictures of her wearing what I made for her except for in an lj icon
September 16- Her side still hasn't come in, I email her asking about it and she says it's done, but she needs my address again. I give her my address again.
November 18- I still don't have what she said she made for me. I sent her another email about it.
What should I do?
-Should I post her name publicly up here so everyone can know not to trade with/commission her? Or would that just piss her friends off and make them start some shitfest with me? She's popular enough that I could see something like that happening.
-Should I keep up emailing and give her one more chance/a deadline, then start shit only if she goes over the deadline?
- Should I just stfu and stop whining? Am I just stupid for trusting someone?
...Or something else all together?

Sometimes people are flaky and forget to ship things. *shrug*
-rips out hair-
Either way, do come back here and let us know what happens.
I have no proof that it was actually finished, and i'm being told its been "returned to sender"
i'm a little peeved to say the least,so i can understand.
but at least you arent out any money :/
She asked me for my address to "send the badge" and I asked for her email because I didnt want to just post my address and she never responded... Oh and I had given her my address once before.. *sigh*
I've been screwed over in a number of trades and it sucks, I'd rather not trade with someone if they've already not kept up their end of the bargain with other people.
Their friends will probably whine at you, but you can't let people get away with something like this just because they're e-famous.
Good luck!
