Order suspended due to counterfeit items

Bought a classic Beyblade lot from France only to find that some were counterfeit and broken. The buyer wasn't open to providing a partial refund, and claimed that 'counterfeit Beyblades don't exist, they're called bootlegs'. She asked me to send them back at my expense.

I reported the listing as counterfeit and was asked to provide photos within 48 hours which were acknowledged.

Three weeks later with the order suspended, Vinted haven't pulled through with an update. I was pretty thorough with my pictures and even screenshotted the seller's messages, before she deleted them.

How will this one likely play out, and has anyone encountered something similar?

Anyone seen this before?

Assumably, this is a rip-off of Seaborg 2, got it as part of a lot. It does have an interesting attack ring, haven't put it through its paces yet to test durability

No reply to email re jerseys

Hi there, myself and a few others have bought jerseys on here to support the club. We're concerned that we've been scammed as we have not received replies and we've followed up.

Is anyone else in the same boat? It has been 11 days now, so I'm starting to consider going to my bank to cancel the transaction.

EDIT: I've discussed this with the team arranging the jerseys and I feel completely reassured that these will be sent. They've had an insanely high number of emails to process, but they're getting there.

Another lot bought

€37 total incl postage, on its way to me. Being based in Ireland has its limitations for what original gen beys I can buy, but hopefully there's some OK value here.

Some parts damaged and used - effectively buying someone's childhood collection to replace my lost collection. So many launchers, sheesh lol

Will our Smol Tortie become a Chonker?

Mocha, she's 16 weeks today! Weighing in at 4.2lbs and we were told she's half Maine Coon when picking her up.

Our resident cat Coco kindly modelled as a reference point, he's 8.2lbs and a relatively small long-hair. She appears longer than him when reaching, never noticed until she was reaching behind curtains.

Her ears don't look especially reminiscent of a Maine Coon, but there are maybe some indications of a mane growing even if it's not pronounced. Anyone have experience or a cat that had similar growth and genealogy?

New house, collection complete

Had Kenny, Kyle and Cartman from the 2006 Character Options plushes for 20 years. Finally found Stan being sold on eBay, after being a Christmas present shy of completing the collection growing up

Will next work on getting them talking again, as the batteries are awkward to remove
