Buyer Beware: Anna Chandler/Elise, Czechmix, Taleybone, Annaelisedraw, ect..
The one of many names of which many are already familiar. Tumblr isn’t a good place for me to post all the screen caps, but they are all posted on instagram and facebook in warning groups. Here is a link to one of the groups it’s posted to (Bjd World Market) https://www.facebook.com/groups/280417182022846/?ref=br_rs
and (BJD Addicts Feedback/Community Alert)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/974023212693715/permalink/1443803612382337/?notif_t=group_post_approved¬if_id=1506401287542825
It’s also fully on my instagram page. I’m posting here because I know how Anna is. She’s spreading her twisted version of the story around wherever she can, and she has confessed about me before on the blog TrueBJDConfessions. I do expect to see more from her.
I’ll post the verbal content of the warning, as there are 42 screenshots and they really can’t be posted effectively here. View beneath the “read more.”
And I’m always happy to send you the screencaps if you can’t see them elsewhere. Just be aware that there...are 42 of them lol. But I’m all too happy to supply them.
!!!!Negative feedback for Anna Elise/Anna Chandler!!!!
*Note: This incident occurred on instagram. My username there is Bearcalledred. Anna Chandler/Elise has gone by numerous names, including Taleybone, Czechmix, Bunnyflavor, Ruddyrainbowdolls, annaelisedraw, ghostchildiv, bjdfairygiveaways, ninjaswordsparkle, and ninjakelpie.
I had really hoped I would never have to post one of these! But up until now, my transaction with @annaelisedraw was ordinary. She has been known by many things and was @ruddyrainbowdolls at the time of commission. I actually received numerous warnings about working with this individual, but I took the commission because I thought we were friends and that she wouldn't do anything shifty to me. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and look past her bad history. I was commissioned to make a pair of eyes, and then paint a doll of hers. I finished the eyes in a month, I believe. I can't check the exact date because the ruddyrainbowdolls account has been deactivated. So the eyes are done, and I'm waiting to hear back about the doll that she's finishing. She wanted to finish the mods on it before sending it. To this day I have gotten no communication regarding the doll, or any thing besides accepting the way the eyes look. I wasn't really impatient about the doll, so I didn't pester. All was fine! No indication that anything was wrong. In the meantime, someone submits to TrueBJDConfessions, which Anna seems to miraculously not know about? Criticising me for that time my cat knocked a head off of a box into my lap. The buyer of the head knew about this and had no issue. Didn't know who it was, so I went on. Via her messages to me here, after we get into a disagreement on a photo of mine, she lets it slip. It was she who submitted a confession about me on the confession blog on tumblr. Nice! So profesh. "pets playing with customers items?" So that's never happened. I wonder what she could be focusing on? Our disagreement was about people who had been rude to me about one of my dolls' face. I posted the photo later saying "Idk that she really cares who dislikes her face." Because I was tired of people commenting that she looked like a blow up doll or that she was high. Naturally, I'm annoyed. I didn't notice that she had posted a comment later also on my box opening photo of her expressing her dislike of the sculpt. The comment itself wasn't rude, I would have had no issue with it. But what became rude was her comment on the picture of her afterwards. She then proceeded to assume entirely that I was talking about her, and began an argument. I didn't even know who she was, I have never heard of this account of hers. I won't go into detail about the argument. It's still up on the photo of Keeley mentioned before, you can read it. (for Facebook, I've included a screenshots) I come to find out that this person, who I thought was some random person, is Anna. I feel betrayed and infuriated. I was going to initiate the refund to her myself after discovering this, because I could forsee many problems that I didn't want to deal with before I got this doll of hers. The eyes were a relatively small commission, but dealing with something complex like a doll was now something I did NOT want to risk. She has especially bad history in trading and shipping dolls in poor condition. I can actually vouch for that one. I traded for 2 minifee heads from her years ago, and they arrived unprotected with grocery sacks being the only thing to pad them. I didn't complain, they weren't damaged. I was going to sleep on the decision to refund her and end the commission, but I was awoken by messages from her, shown, asking for eyes or refund. I chose refund. I don't need someone like this posting a spiteful hate-review because we had an argument. This should have been the end of it, but she proceeded to be very nasty. I included the frequent "third picture of Negi" for reference. She apparently takes very high offense to my use of jointed hands. So in conclusion, this transaction and experience with Anna went from nice, ok, ordinary, to flaming dumpster fire so quickly. She is a very volatile client and I've heard this from many commissionable artist friends. Since posting the original warning, numerous people have come forth with their own stories about Anna. I have permission to post them. The fact that she had been banned and has numerous problem transactions on DoA should have been enough, but it was my mistake. She claims to have very little bad feedback, but that truly is not the case. She had a long history of bad transactions, including one now from me. She has been spreading the lie that I'm warning people about her because I "lost her sale." I actually had the choice to send the eyes. I terminated the commission and refunded out of choice. Btw, it was $40. I'm not slandering someone for a loss of $40, nor would I slander a client to begin with for wanting to end a transaction on reasonable terms. I may not have even posted a buyer beware, if she hadn't proceeded to be so vile to me. The thing that crossed the line for me was making fun of my illness. Saying that I "whine about my physical illnesses" and she doesn't, so I'm wrong. And also, gasp! I take sick days. How evil of me. So no, this isn't a simple matter of a lost sale. She's a terrible, abusive client, and I want people to be aware before they accept a commission from her. I'll answer any questions if someone should have them. I have screenshots of everything, and Anna may possibly be deleting her comments to make it seem like I have been. She mentioned one of her comments being deleted, but I was unable to find what she was talking about, and I'd been taking screen shots as the event progressed.
