/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

It's finally happened, after way too many secondhand lolita purchases I finally had a truly shitty buying experience. I bought MM's Roslynn OP off of Mercari for 300+ burgerbucks, and after waiting well over a week for the seller to confirm the purchase, and then another week for the seller to think about sending out the dress to my SS, it finally arrived and the stitching on the sleeve is completely falling apart (pic related). It's something my tailor can fix, but at the price point I'd expect the item to not have this kind of undisclosed damage. I'm also pretty sure I have no recourse.
