MLPcollector_Lea
This member has a habit of selling MOC ponies and taking months to ship. She has recently left members hanging with no communication and no ponies. She pops up every so often to sell a bunch of stuff and it seems problems happen every single time. She has always rectified it until now, although it frequently took a Paypal dispute to get her to ship the items. As at April 2010, items remain owed to a value of approx. $150.

This member sold a MIB set that turned out to have no pony inside, a refund had to be forced by the staff here as the seller seemed to think it was the buyer's problem. She is still a member here as she did finally give a refund, but please trade with caution. ETA: Pretended to be one of her buyers to a Moderator via email.
