I'm not surprised that Tracie is changing her mind - again. She goes with the wind. She's a copier. She's always talking about how she wants to be like someone else, whether it's her style, her business ideas, or any other part of her life that she shares. Maybe she should try to be an original, instead of trying to make money using other people's ideas and styles. It's all very high school to me, trying to act like the cool kids so you'll be invited into the "in crowd." That's never going to happen, no matter how many names she drops. People like her always need to be in the "IN" crowd. I will never ever get it. They will go hell bent on destroying you if they can't get in. Once their "IN" crowd falls to pieces they will destroy that crowd. When I say destroy I mean destroy! The worst when they want you in their lives but you don't want to be with their crowd, because let's see you have no interest in those people because you are a relative and have no common interests with the "IN" crowd because they are not your peers or even age range. Because you don't want to, the Tracie's of the world turn violently on you and abuse you to pieces where you barely recover then keep trying to use you. They are vicious circle witches who are the most dangerous kind.
Yes, they are the worst name droppers. Mine actually drops names of people that she doesn't even know because they are friends of her friends. Yes, this is a real story. I just changed the names. "Oh, Pamela and Angela are going to California next week and they will be bringing me back this, and this and this. They are doing all of this for me." Me- "Who is Angela?" "YOU KNOW WHO ANGELA IS. SHE IS MY FRIEND AND SHE IS DOING THINGS FOR ME!" Then you meet Angela at the store because you say hi to Pam. Angela doesn't know Little Miss Name Dropper and they didn't bring her anything back from their trip to California, lol. I bet Tracie does this too. I have seen on her IG's she tries to move in on Tiffany's friends.
You know what really gets me about Tracie. Is just how arrogant she is. My Tracie was one of the biggest names in the crafting industry during the 70's & 80's. She pulled these kind of things Tracie did but even more nuclear level. She was destroyed. Actually one of the ladies over at SCS asks me all the time "Is that Bitch dead yet?" That's how bad it was. Think about that girls. The 70's & 80's is when this happened. NO SOCIAL MEDIA and the Tracie of my world was obliterated. Tracie just keeps going and going and more going in a Social Media world. Trust me I don't get these women. You know I am really glad I don't. I don't want to be their victim's either.

Why is there a $10 fee if they cancel the crop/retreat? If they just cancel the Paypal transaction it goes back to the owner, right? Is there a $10 charge per transaction?

From the Nashville registration page:
"IMPORTANT DETAILS - PLEASE READ:
Each attendee is required to join our Nashville Facebook group. This is our primary means of getting to know you and sharing information. A link to the group will be posted in our main group after registration. Each attendee must register individually. If you are paying for a friend, please do so in aseparate transaction, using their name and information. At time of registration, please list your phone number in the spot provided. We often have last minute questions we have to ask OR we do not get a response to an e-mail in a timely manner so we must have another means of communication. Payment is due in full at time of registration. All sales are final, no refunds will be given for any reason, however, you may sell your spot and transfer it to someone else. Comfort Suites in Lebanon is approximately 22 miles from the Nashville Airport. Roommates can often be found in our private retreat FB group. All attendees will receive exclusive Scrap Gals merchandise plus product we choose just for you! A more detailed schedule will be provided prior to event. VERY IMPORTANT: We need a minimum of 30 attendees to hold this event. In the event our minimum is not met by 6/15/18, your registration price will be refunded minus a $10 PayPal fee. We apologize for this inconvenience and fee but we must have a minimum to hold the event.
PLEASE DO NOT BOOK A FLIGHT UNTIL OUR MINIMUM IS MET. " (I added the emphasis)
Well, when I first read this where they say no refunds for any reason, I thought maybe she intended to keep the full fee if they cancelled. I guess all but $10 is better than nothing. But what do you want to bet there would be no refund at all if they could figure out some way to cheat you out of it. I guess the 10 bucks is for the privilege and honor of just being able to sign up for the event.

Assuming you (general you) paid via PayPal goods and services you could probably file with PayPal for the entire amount given that you didn’t actually receive any goods or services. I imagine a ban from her Facebook group and any future events would follow, but PayPal tends to side with consumers.

Why in the world should the people who sign up have to forfeit money if the people sponsoring the event cancel? Your event, your cancellation, your loss.

It's probably because, as the "seller," they are charged a PayPal fee when the transaction is completed. That money won't be refunded to them. I do agree with those who have said that this is totally unfair to the attendees. Why should they have to pay because you didn't meet your minimum for the trip? Any loss that is incurred as a result of the cancellation is the loss of the person(s) doing the cancelling. Total BS. I'd contact PayPal and get a full refund; but then again, I wouldn't have registered in the first place.

So basically they expect to have no expenses for running their business? It’s all profit or nothing? Those two get more embarrassing as they continue. They should be ashamed.

Wait. When did Tracie go private on IG? And delete most of her photos? Wait. I MISSED SOME BIG TRACIE CLAIBORNE NEWS? And she has deleted her Twitter! WHAT IS GOING ON? Did someone's ego get bruised with the failed retreat tour? I need the hot goss', ladies.
ETA: Her IG stats then/now 3127/31 followers, 266/0 following, 3485/5 media

I thought we were going to get some private FB group rants to gossip over for the weekend. Colour me disappointed.
Also, that's a stupidly long brand name and unnecessary change. And that's a professional opinion.

I saw a post somewhere (maybe FB?) where she said her account was now only for maintaining her group and that she will be on IG.

I’m thinking she just found a way to make $10 a head for doing absolutely nothing! Plan event (we’ll pretend to) then cancel it and keep your $10.

I just wanted to say something about the smack blog thing.. I didn't realize that there was more than one.. the only one I ever found was VERY vile... F word, C word used VERY freely.... I'm not a pearl clutcher by any means, but I couldn't get past how vile that blog was... and of course I went over to see if my name was ever brought up.. it was just a couple of times... saying how much I complained about my husband. I might complain about him here or there but not smack blog worthy. (If ya'll think I have done that let me know!! haha) (I mean I love my husband and we have been separated before.. but I don't think I have ever vented about that here that much...)

I think the $10 charge if they cancel the event is such a shitty policy!! It's not the croppers fault the crop didn't meet the requirements and should not be penalized for it.

If it gets cancelled I wonder how many of those people would try booking another retreat after losing money. They must not be concerned with leaving people with a bad taste in their mouth but that's what would happen. To some at least.

I don't know if one of my friends told me or if I read it here. I honestly can't believe people sign up in the first place at the price they charge vs what they provide.

In the most recent episode there was a weird incident in the conversation w Stacy Julian that really indicated how badly Tracie sucks up. Stacy said something like “I had this class idea and I was going to teach it at Big Picture.” Tracie jumped in over her and says something like “that was an awesome class” just as Stacy says “I never got to teach it”. It was a fast paced part of the conversation and I almost missed it. Tracie was so into Stacy that she offered a compliment on a class that made it sound like she took the class but Stacy said the class never happened. Crazy?!

I looked up the cancellation charge on Paypal. Even if I thought it should go to the buyer, which I don't, this is what Paypal says:
Will I get my transaction fee back?
When you grant a refund, you may get a credit for the transaction fees we originally charged.
Here are the different scenarios: When you issue a full refund using the "Issue Refund" link, we credit the variable portion of your transaction fee, while the fixed portion of the fee ($0.30 USD per transaction) is not refundable. For detailed information on transaction fees, click here.
So then I looked to see what the charge is from Paypal. They charge $0.30 plus $2.9% but if the way I'm reading this is correct, Paypal only keeps the $0.30 if you issue a refund. So they are charging $10 when Paypal only will charge them $0.30. Unless I'm reading this incorrectly. I don't have a Paypal account.

I didn't know the Paypal fees are refunded to the seller when they issue a refund...that makes this whole operation even more screwy. It's absurd they will make some money on the event if it does not occur. Of course, I don't know how many people registered or anything like that but they will be making $9.70 per cancellation. That will add up quickly.
