A blog is just easier. No, I'm not being cheap! I swear! I can afford $10.00 to register a doman name. I just find a blog more...personal. I believe in building relationships and trust. Right now you can ask me anything about a bag and if I don't know the answer, I'll get it for you. I have that kind of time to devote to each customer. My main goal in this handbag stuff is not to make loads of money. I have a job. I have kids and I have a husband. Trust me when I say that is more than enough to keep me going!
Even if you don't buy from me, I want you to have the tools and know how that will allow you to make a good purchase. I have many a girlfriend who has made a purchase from an online site only to be greatly disappointed. They have either gotten a very cheap imitation or not even the bag they had thought they ordered. When they tried to get their money back, there was no reply from the other site.
This is going to sound harsh but if they had done their homework and not Western Union'd money to an unknown seller, or asked for more detailed pics: side view, front view, inside view, bottom of the bag and at least ONE very close up of the logo or detailing of the hardware or leather, I think they could have avoided being scammed.
One girlfriend, who I hope doesn't read this blog, actually bought a bag, got a TOTALLY different bag, then complained, was told she had to send another $100.00USD to get the bag she thought she had originally ordered and you know what she did? SHE SENT THE EXTRA $100.00!! Needless to say, she's still waiting for that original bag. That was in 2007!
There are no clear cut rules, but communication is a good start. If you write a website and they send bag one or two words, incomplete sentences, or don't answer your question at all, yeah, I'd steer clear.
