Feeling pretty disappointed right now, tbh.
Got a dress from Atelier Pierrot and it's covered in small damages, from damaged hemming to pen marks.
Wrote them about it, not sure if they'll do an exchange though...

The problem is, with my account, the funds are removed even when a payment is processing. Usually, this is a good thing, especially when I have to deal with people who take forever to process payments. Same problem here, only the first payment wasn't cancelled before they made another charge. I'm just not sure what to do from here. It was already sketchy that they charged me again without alerting me they had done so, but I don't want to file a card dispute for fear of getting blacklisted over a simple mistake, either by them or the bank. Any advice?
