Scam or what?
Some of you may have already read about my agony about a bra exchange with a fellow BTB user in which I NEVER received my 3bras and brief. The exchange was arranged in August 2015 and keeping to my end of the bargain I sent the package to the US on Aug 14 and my tracking shows that it arrived in normal postage time. I on the other hand received nothing. Sent repeated messages to this user and have gotten no answer. Got in touch with Jj who assured me that this user has "forgot" to send out bras before, but surely no scam in sight, just irresponsible behavior, probably distracted by somehing. I believe he sent an e-mail to this user about this situation. I have no knowledge if she ever responded to him or not. I've completely given up on my bras when on the 26th Sept I received a message from her telling me that the bras she sent out were returned to her by the post and she'd be sending again ASAP. User was very apologetic telling me how she was switching jobs and homes and taking a break from Bratabase. OK, so I got my hopes up again, wrote to Jj again to tell him there could be hope I'd get my bras. It is the 20th of October today. This user just logged in to Bratabase recently, the site records:

The user chose not to respond to any of my messages, even though she must have seen the pile of my PMs about my missing bras. It is clear that after she's logged in she didn't bother to even read any of the messages, they are shown to be unread still.
What really bugs me is that I had never imagined that a user who is VERIFIED would behave in this way. So, now I would kindly ask of you my fellow Bratabasers, what I am supposed to do with user veggie , who is apparently a verified user but with a minor flaw - occasionally forgets to send out bras?
Would also like to know if anyone had a similar or any kind of contact with user veggie.
Many thanks for all your help.

Be patient. I was in such a situation lately as the part that was suspected to be a scammer. I literally got ground under my feet break down into pieces and trust me, it is wasy too easy to forget about things and / or not be able to arrange shipping / reshipping accordingly when you have your world falling down on your head
.
It's on it's way! I messaged you :( You're far away, it takes a long time :(
