Just had the most disappointing experience with Atelier.

After being reassured again and again they had set aside my item for me while someone else 'will complete the transaction', i submitted a few more inquiries and wanted to buy another item.

So I decided to get another jacket and suddenly receive this email saying sorry, I'm afraid we sold the first item you wanted anyway.

I know this is a closing sale but really?

I don't see anything wrong with it, you can't "set aside" items. You can get a reply an item is in stock, ask for a paypal email and pay as you receive it. After payment the item is indeed secured and they can't sell it to anyone else.

I did ask for a payment method and agreed to buy the item twice-to which he replied yes, thank you, I will keep it on hold (while I looked around for others).

If they dint want to just put the item in a backroom or anything, why give the impression of doing so?

Probably in there best interest to avoid any hassle and go for the money in front of them, sad to say.

The question here is if you've paid for the item or not.

If you are suggesting that pretending to reserve an item but not actually doing it is fine (bearing in mind you can choose to simply refuse to reserve) then I have nothing to say

I thought you've meant pretending to pay for an item but not actually doing it, right?

It's not the right place. This is not a thread for reposting everything you find on slickdeals.
