Pony Brag Arena / Pony Collection Video Tour!

« on: July 08, 2018, 03:27:54 AM »

I finally got around to making a video of my pony collection! Alas, quite a lot of my ponies are in storage at the moment while I try to rearrange things and the ones that are out on the shelves are desperately in need of a dusting. But people on Youtube have been asking for this for a while, so I thought I may as well make a video. I can always make an updated version later when the shelves are tidied up a bit.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Pony Brag Arena / My last pony purchase from Toys 'R' Us!

« on: April 23, 2018, 08:33:35 PM »

Well, this is a rather sad brag really. The last UK branches of Toys 'R' Us (including one of my childhood branches, Brent Cross) close down for the final time tomorrow (24th). I went to say my final goodbyes today.
The toys are all long gone, but I still managed to come away with a "little" something for the collection.

The pony sign was originally part of this bigger display just to show it in context...

Tragically, the rest of the display is still there. I have nowhere to put the hot air balloon or bigger signs so didn't ask how much they wanted for them, but if anybody is in London and wants to go to Brent Cross (bear in mind it will probably close early being the last day), I expect they will sell it cheaply because they need it all gone now. I just can't bear to think of all this stuff being thrown in a skip or left there to be vandalised!

Anyway, on a happier note, I am pleased to have been able to save the sign at least. I always wanted one of the big over shelf signs back in the G3 era...now I can say that I have a part of the last ever UK Toys 'R' Us display.

Trader & Shipping Support / Getting an unfair negative feedback removed?

« on: March 29, 2018, 09:53:28 AM »

Ebay advice please! Just got a totally unfair negative feedback and not sure how to proceed.

Item description: "You are bidding on a G1 My Little Pony named Snuzzle, who was sold as part of the Collector Ponies range in 1983. She is missing her tail, her glue neck seal has been broken meaning that her head now turns, and she has pink highlighter "lipstick" on her lips."

Negative feedback: "Failed to mention there was no tail, and the lips are stained with marker pen."

Surely there should be a way to get that feedback removed? How the heck did I "fail to mention" something that is written in the second line of the description?! There are also two photos which definitely show the tail is missing (although I admit the angle of the photos makes the marker hard to see which I didn't notice when I was listing).

Should I contact the buyer or phone eBay directly? I don't want to be stuck with a negative for a year just because an ignorant buyer was too stupid to look at the auction description and photos before they bid.

Trader & Shipping Support / Can2012-uk on eBay

« on: February 01, 2018, 12:34:06 PM »

No advice needed, just a warning to others not to deal with this eBay buyer. I've had so many issues with this eBayer over the last couple of months. She's blocked from bidding now, but still keeps writing rude messages to me, demanding I unblock her as she "wants to buy stuff".

Long story, but I'll try and give a general synopsis.

Basically she bought a £3 pony from me before Christmas. After she won it, she started demanding that I lower my postage from £3.40 to £2.90 (even though she herself charges £3.60 P&P on the items she sells!). I explained I charge a flat 50p packaging fee on all of my items and she eventually accepted. But then she started asking for further items to be included in the parcel at outrageous discounts. I eventually let her have a £5 lot of "custom bait" (these were really bad, half customised by a kid ponies, covered in gloopy paint) ponies for £2 just to shut her up, then blocked her from bidding on further items.

She then starts trying to bid on more items and discovers she's been blocked. She blew up my inbox screaming at me for blocking her and, stupidly scared of the fact she had already bought two items and had the power to neg me, I blamed it on an eBay glitch and unblocked her. She proceeded to bid on TEN more items.

She receives the first two items, and starts writing frantically to tell me that she's stripped the paint off of the "custom bait" ponies and that one of them doesn't have eyes or cutie mark underneath so it "must not be authentic" and she wants a refund. She probably wrote to me 12-14 times before I got online and saw her complaints. I explained they were sold as seen, were only supposed to be used for customs so it never dawned on me to check if they had eyes or cutie marks. (Surely she could see I hadn't stripped the paint to see what condition they were in underneath!) She continued to harass me for the rest of the day, then eventually shut up and accepted she wasn't getting any further discount.

A few days later (having won eight of the ten items she'd bid on), she writes to me again...

"How much do I own u Now I hope I don't win anymore lol

I think for all it works out £27?? Plus £3.40 post
Should be able to post in same Box or bag Like u did before

So total is £30.40p"

I wrote to her, confirmed the total and told her how to cancel her bids on the last two items if that was what she wanted to do, but she ignored me.

The last item ended a couple of days later and she went absolutely crazy! And I mean, CRAZY. I couldn't even write back to her on my slow computer because of all the pop ups saying I had new emails from her...

"I'm Sorry but I don't pay all this it's almost

£40?? Plus post

Can u cancel all the £5 ones

And I'm hoping it's just going to When me a bid over 20 to pay

I won't all the £3 ones I pay and post
Hope I don't win more"

WTH? If you can't afford to buy something, don't bid! Simple as that.

She begins frantically sending messages on the individual items like "Keep this" and "cancel that". But she was contradicting herself and asking to buy something she'd wanted to cancel two minutes before.

She also started making up her own total. Literally commenting on the £3 ponies and trying to knock money off (presumably hoping I wouldn't notice! Never mind the fact that eBay would charge her the real amount when I sent the invoice!

)

This is how the emails went...

"I won't this one

It's £3"

"This one

So that's 2 for £6"

"This one so £3 so far

Is 1 £3 second £3 3rd is £3"

"This one

£11" (Er...4 x 3 is £12!)

"This one makes it £13" (Um...nope. 5 x 3 is £15!)

"And this one

So all the £3 ponys and this dolls makes total off

£14 so far" (What the... Now she's trying to get the last £3 item for £1?!?!?!?! 6x3 is £18, not £14!)

"Sorry but I can't pay this I'm winning them all

Can I text too cancel a few

And pay for a few tonight"

"I have sent a text to cancel a few please I am still having a few

I can't afford that I have won lots

It's Getting over £50" (Well, actually £37 in total and she didn't have any more bids...but let's give her the benefit of the doubt, she wasn't trying to rook me and get £3 items for £1, her maths skills aren't great!

)

"So I won't the first 2 ones that light up or sing

And all the pink pies and water one just Not the £4 one tho

And to also keep the one I just won that goes with the swan boat I need that to go with my daughters swan boat
That I don't have the pony to go with the boat

Just to cancel the £5 ones
The £4 pony

And the doll

I pay for the rest today When I get a message back from u"

I told her I wasn't prepared to cancel now that she'd won the items and would have to open unpaid item cases for them...which I immediately did before she could whine about that as well. She took it surprisingly well, but then she never paid for the remaining six items! I wrote to her a few days later and asked if she still wanted them - no response. I opened unpaid item cases on her a couple of days after that - no response. I closed the unpaid item cases - no response.

FIVE DAYS LATER (January 15th), she writes again, messaging me on a completely different pony to the ones she hadn't paid for.

"Hi

Can I not buy this doll

On the 23d

I get payed then

And was going to pay for the ponys

But it's all been cancels and blocked

Can I buy this doll"

If she was going to pay for the ponies, surely she would have responded to my messages and unpaid item cases before I closed them?! I ignored her. But she's obviously still trying to buy stuff from me as she keeps writing and asking why she's blocked/demanding I unblock her so that she can bid on more stuff. I am not going to unblock her, and recommend that others don't deal with her either. It's really not worth it.

I posted about this on Facebook and two other people said they've had problems with her (one in the UK, one in another country) so this isn't an isolated case and she buys from international sellers too. I also notice she's left quite a bit of negative feedback in recent months. (She never left feedback for me at all so at least I dodged that one!)

Well, congratulations if you got through that long story! Hope this helps someone out.

Pony Corral / EAG International Exhibition and London Toy Fair 2017 Photos

« on: January 28, 2017, 12:30:25 PM »

Here's a link to my annual slideshow of pictures from the EAG International and London Toy Fair. Sadly, it is not of such good quality as in previous years - there was far less pony stuff at the EAG this year and I only got to the Toy Fair half an hour before it closed when all of the stallholders were already packing up. Also, Hasbro weren't exhibiting at the Toy Fair again.

Still I photographed what I could in the little time I had. Enjoy!

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hope I'm posting this in the right forum? Feel free to move if not.

I just reached 500 subscribers on Youtube! Yay! While not everything I post there is pony-related, I do post quite a lot of MLP stuff there and am hoping to post more pony videos this year.

Anyway, to celebrate reaching this milestone, I'm holding a little giveaway for some blind bag pony figurines. It's the first time I've ever done something like this and I wanted to share it here. I know they're not the most exciting prize in the world but I hope they'll put a smile on someone's face.

It's free to enter and I will ship anywhere in the world. If you've got a Youtube account, what have you got to lose?

Pony Corral / G1 MLP Coin Operated Ride

« on: December 24, 2016, 06:56:11 PM »

Hey guys, Merry Christmas! I created an advent calendar on Youtube this year featuring my other obsession, coin operated kiddie rides, and one of the rides featured was the MLP one. I know the subject of this ride comes up from time to time on this forum so thought I'd share with you all as it kind of doubles as a little infomercial about the ride.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBcg1cz74w4

Maybe I'll do a MLP advent calendar next year. I've actually had a lot of fun putting this together.

Toy Box & Games Cupboard / ID for Modern Polly Pockets?

« on: September 07, 2016, 02:22:55 PM »

Can anyone tell me a good website that would help me with IDing modern (Origin Products) Polly Pocket? I've ended up with a large lot of them and want to try to put the right pieces with the right sets before I sell but can't seem to find anything online about them. Is there anything I can do other than going through eBay looking for MIB photos (which aren't always very clear for the tiny pieces)? Thanks!

Trader & Shipping Support / Seller Cancelling My Order

« on: September 03, 2016, 10:55:41 AM »

I bought a lot of ponies via a BIN on eBay this morning. The seller has now contacted me to say: "Hi, sorry had to cancel order as the price was wrong.. I didn't realise til it sold selling for my daughter she wants 10 for them so sorry"

I'm pretty sure this is against eBay rules anyway as I had already bought and paid for them at the agreed price? But I'm willing to accept if it was a genuine mistake. (But then, why didn't she offer me the chance to pay the extra money she wanted for them? All very strange)

What I find more concerning is I've had no email to say that she's requested a cancellation and there's nothing on my eBay to say this either. When I look at the Order Details, I just get a little pink notice that says "Cancellation for this order is pending". I've never seen anything like this before. They are no longer on my "purchase history" and I haven't received any kind of refund.

I've not encountered anything like this before, I'm not sure how to write back to the seller of how to proceed. I wish I'd never bought the things now.

For Sale - For Auction / The "Help me pay for drama school" sale!

« on: August 17, 2016, 07:02:36 PM »

I've not been as active on the Arena lately because this has been a crazy year to say the least. Lots of ups, and lots of downs. One thing I'm very happy about is that, after years of allowing my parents to put me off, I am finally at drama school studying a diploma in musical theatre!

However, this is going to cost literally ALL of my savings (and then some) so I want to get as much money together as possible. (Especially as I'm hoping this will lead to a degree course next year if I can't get representation from an agent at the end of this course). And so I've made the sad decision to finally part with a lot of my MLP merchandise collection and duplicate childhood ponies. I'll probably end up selling more than that but that's where I intend to start anyway.

I will be constantly updating so please check back. I have literally hundreds of items to sell!

I usually have at least a few things listed on eBay so here is a link to my eBay account. My dad is also letting me list some stuff on his eBay account at the moment in order to move the stuff out faster!

I should point out:

I am in the UK and Royal Mail's prices stink. I usually offer second class or airmail by default to try and keep prices low. These options include £20 insurance (the only exceptions being to the USA, Germany and Holland for some reason), but if you want me to look into further insurance or a different postal service, just let me know. I always obtain proof of postage but cannot be held responsible if items get lost in the post and I can't get a refund from Royal Mail!

All prices are in pound sterling.

All items come from a smoke and pet free home.

Paypal is my preferred method of payment, but I have also taken money orders in the past. Cash on collection is also an option if you live near West London, UK.

More items (and descriptions on items shown here) can be found on my Facebook Sales Page. If you can't find a particular item, please contact me with any questions you have on condition etc.

Feel free to message me for additional photos or information. I'm always happy to help!

Pony Corral / Rediscovered my Childhood Fanfiction Series!

« on: August 14, 2016, 03:46:39 PM »

When I was a kid, I wrote a (very primitive) MLP fanfiction series and recorded the stories to cassette tape. I thought I'd lost these old cassette tapes forever when we moved house so was really excited to find them in storage earlier this week!

They're hilariously awful and my common London accent makes me cringe. But I'm still in the process of converting them to MP3 and uploading them to Youtube where other people can enjoy a good laugh at them if they so choose. I challenge anyone to last through more than thirty seconds of my ear piercing acapella singing!

The nostalgia is making me quite tearful tonight. This has been a really bad week for me so I'm glad these showed up to create a distraction!

Trader & Shipping Support / Ebay buyer claimed their item never arrived, then left neutral saying it did?!

« on: July 10, 2016, 04:54:46 PM »

Ugh, I'm so sick of eBay. >.<

I sold a (non-pony) toy to a buyer in Brazil. Last week, the buyer opens an item not received case on me and asks for a refund. I had a horrid feeling she was trying it on but I still wrote to her to tell her when it had been shipped. I asked her to wait a few more days but, if she had still not received it then, let me know and I would refund her in full and open a claim with Royal Mail.

No more contact from the buyer, she just closed the case as soon as she could at which point eBay kindly gave her a full refund from my Paypal account.

No sooner had she received her refund than she leaves me a neutral feedback and says, "Its arrives very late". Hang on a moment. So she DID receive it, just "very late"? I know eBay always side with the buyer but apparently this woman now has the toy and a full refund and I'm out of pocket with a neutral feedback? It's not my fault if the item was delayed in transit, I have the post office receipt to prove it was sent in good time after I received her payment.

I'm not sure what to do. There's obviously a language barrier between the buyer and I, the last few times I've used online chat for eBay issues, they've magically disconnected me. The toy itself was worth a tiny amount (I've last far more on shipping it to Brazil ironically!) so it hardly seems worth racking up a big phone bill to eBay but I don't see why she should get away with having a free toy and leaving me bad feedback.

What would you do?

Trader & Shipping Support / Non-MLP Ebay Problem - Item Broken In Transit. Who Pays Return Shipping?

« on: April 19, 2016, 03:56:19 PM »

I bought a camera on eBay. Yes, stupid idea in the first place really but this model is discontinued and I really want one for when my own finally packs up (which can't be long now). The seller stated that it was in 100% working condition and, while none of the photos actually showed it switched on, the camera looked all right on the outside so I decided to take a risk. It cost me £24.99 including shipping. £9.00 of that was for shipping but the actual stamp price was only 4.70 euros...but that's another issue all together.

The camera came from Portugal. When it arrived, it was packed TERRIBLY. One tiny bit of bubble wrap around the camera in a box that was far too big for it...so the camera was sliding from side to side banging against the edges of the box. The bubble wrap itself was obviously reused and not one bubble still had any air in it. It was just flat plastic.

Unsurprisingly, the camera is faulty. You can't see anything through the screen except a flickering pink out of focus fog and the photos it takes are also pink tinted and totally fuzzy.

The seller claims there was nothing wrong with the camera when it left him (well, of course he would...) but either way this is clearly his fault for not packing the item properly. He says if I return it to him (at my own expense) he will give me a full refund.

I've got a horrible feeling this is what the eBay rules actually state? But I wasn't sure as in this case it is obviously the seller's fault that the item got broken. Do I have any leg to stand on? Shipping to Portugal is going to be horrible, especially as I will have to use some kind of signed for/insured service because I don't trust this seller not to say it never got there at all.

Why did this have to happen at a time when I literally have no money? I don't even have the pennies to scrape together to pay the shipping back to him! It just seems I always get stuck with the short straw on eBay, whether as a buyer or a seller.

Off Topic / Competition For Facebook People - Help Me By Liking My Page?

« on: March 03, 2016, 04:54:46 PM »

I hope this is allowed - if not, please feel free to delete. I think I've seen similar posts in the past? Sorry!

I'm trying to start my own make up business, selling a brand I fell in love with at the end of last year. But things are going really slowly. I wondered if people would mind 'liking' my Facebook page to try and give it a boost? https://www.facebook.com/youniquebydesireeskylark/

I also have a competition running at the moment. Anybody who "likes" my page and shares the competition post by March 31st will be entered into a competition to win a mascara or eyeliner.

Thanks everyone.
