Hi yā€™all - I donā€™t have much experience with Etsy have bought a few things over the years here and there.

I recently was hunting for a special edition Mariah Carey Barbie and found one on Etsy, awesome. There were a few they had in stock I suppose, because after I purchased it said 4 more were available. Well I placed the order on 11/27 and havenā€™t heard anything. I went to check the shop and itā€™s ā€œtaking a short breakā€. The order is listed as confirmed but thereā€™s no check mark or anything and it seemed automated. A lot of the items they had on there were similar to rare goods (1st edition books etc) and the shop reviews non-existent. I took the chance even against my better judgment.

I messaged the seller and got an automated response saying the order will ship soon, it still hasnā€™t and thereā€™s been no communication. Etsy has the arrival between 8-14 so weā€™ll officially be outside the window this week. Not sure where to go from here, feel like I was scammed. Any advice?
