			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="BUYER BEWARE" src="http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/buyer-beware-211x300.jpg" alt="" width="211" height="300" />I&#8217;ve asked you guys to send me any stories of bad customer service, fraud, or other questionable business practices by nail polish companies or e-tailers. One reader, Rachel has been having a huge problem with Footsiesbiz.com since last November. Here&#8217;s is the story in her own words:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Hi there,<br />
I emailed you last November (I remember it was just before the election! BOO Palin) about my ridiculous experience with Footsies (footsiesbiz.com). Last I mentioned, they had taken my money after an order in September or October and gone completely AWOL. Many attempts to contact them were fruitless. I filed a complaint and then a dispute with paypal and nothing came of it.<br />
</em></p>
<p><em>Well, update:<br />
Paypal settled the dispute in my favor, BUT said they were unable to provide any sort of refund. Stupid, no?<br />
Better yet: many weeks later, I received a haphazardly-shipped package from footsies. You will love this: it was full of a totally random order! I had ordered several Color Club Neons and one China Glaze. What I received: two bottles of the same Color Club, one bottle each of two other colors, and 5 or 6 completely random and totally ugly, never-heard-of-before polishes. Like, some dollar store crap from the 90&#8217;s. Do not want! Also, no receipt, nothing. It was like they were saying &#8220;here, take this and f%^&amp; off!&#8221; complete and utter scam.</p>
<p>So that completes my woeful tale of being scammed by footsies.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never heard of Footsies or had any experiences with them but I&#8217;d be interested in hearing if any of you had any encounters with them, positive or negative. And I&#8217;m pretty shocked to hear that Paypal didn&#8217;t refund the money. Shame on them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One my favorite sites is the consumer watch dog blog <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://consumerist.com">The Consumerist</a></strong></span>. For polish addicts bad sellers are a huge problem. Not a day goes by that I don&#8217;t hear some horror story about someone buying nail polish from an unscrupulous seller. It&#8217;s time for us to fight back. I&#8217;m going to start a category called <a href="http://polishaddict.com/buyer-beware/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&#8216;Buyer Beware&#8217;</strong></span></a> that is listed in my link bar below my logo. In this section I will post any stories you send me about purchasing experiences. It can be anything, a rude sales associates, misrepresented auctions, or any problem you might experience. This is meant as a way to keep consumers informed and to keep a check on bad sellers.</p>
