On New Years Eve I received a message on ebay that the buyer was not happy with Castaneda and wanted an issue refunded. To be honest, she perfectly good reason. This was the first custom doll I have ever attempted to market and I'm afraid I could have done a better job at describing her.
The fact that the hair under the wig was not sufficient enough to keep the wig in place (although it was in the description that this was a wig) as well as a few places on the body where paint had chipped or where there was no paint were mostly what concerned her. I admit I wasn't really sure how or if I should describe all of these things when I was writing the description for Castaneda on ebay. I wasn't even sure if I should describe her as "new" or not because I had spent so many months working on her. It certainly was not a great start to my New Year but I had to chalk it up to a lesson learned for next time and not let it completely depress me.

More info on what Castaneda's next move will be shortly.
I would imagine and expect if a body is painted, there would be a chance of it wearing off in the areas where it has movement. However, I do think a re-root would be better than a wig.
ReplyDeleteDon't be too down on yourself, most of us learn from our mistakes. She looked such a sweetie and I'm sure you will bring her up to scratch in no time.
Z I read your post the other day but forgot to comment! As long as you realize that mistakes were made; you have a chance to do better! Don't beat yourself up over this!
ReplyDeleteThanks to both of you for your kind words of support! This is totally a lesson learned for me. I'm over the feelings of disappointment and moving on at this point. I think Castaneda is super special and I know she'll find a new loving home soon enough.
