The seller didn't have an international shipping cost and they invoiced me after I had bid. They said ebay global shipping handles the cost, but Greece is not included in that, I've checked! I paid the shipping cost they specified even though it did seem a bit much. What bothers me is that they ignored my messages about the overcharge I noticed and then after I messaged them again, they lied about paying insurance at the post office! And they never replied to me again. And the difference of 2.75GBP is not little to me, it's 4 euros! And I live in Greece guys  I've been overcharged before and every seller has sent me a refund or explained politely that the extra charge was for shipping materials etc. And for small amounts it's ok. Even for this amount I wouldn't have left negative feedback. This is probably the first negative feedback I left and it's mostly because I was ignored and lied to. "Even if you bend over backwards you can never make every buyer happy" - Tribble79 they didn't do anything to make me happy! And another buyer has just left them negative feedback as well cos they didn't care about her complaint either!

After many years of buying on ebay, I decided to finally start selling as well. And my first buyer was a person with 0 feedback from Russia who had made an ebay account just this month  I thought "ok, I had 0 feedback once too" and waited. After a couple of days of no payment or communication, I decided to open an unpaid item case to make them pay. I also messaged them (and I had invoiced them on the 1st day as well). Still nothing! So finally today ebay allowed me to cancel the transaction and relist my item. In the meantime I had 3 people buying my items and paying for them (yay!), but 1 more buyer who still hasn't paid after 2-3 days and 2 invoices. So what do I do? How many days do you usually wait to get payment before opening a case? Ebay allows you to do it after 2 days, but isn't that a bit soon? I must add that this buyer only has 6 feedback, so they're pretty new as well. Why had my ebay selling started this way though? And the worst thing is that both of these items (MH dolls) had many views and people watching them! So someone else could have buyed them instead

I'd knock the stars way down and leave a neutral. As there were no problems with the actual item, the method/time/speed of shipping, etc. I wouldn't think it warrants a negative... But often I find that the difference between a neutral or a neg is how much the seller annoys you, if you feel emotionally that a negative is fair, then go right ahead.  Wilfully lying and not communicating promptly are pretty bad tactics for a seller - they could just have said that it was for packing materials and transport/handling costs, or even paypal fees, that would be understandable. No need for lying about insurance when it's something that can easily be disproven by looking at the label.
Thanks for the support prancingstag I just left negative feedback actually, I've been avoiding doing it for days, but I couldn't help it. And I actually saw that a few days ago someone else also left negative feedback, so mine was not the first: "No happy doll missing wing seller did not seem to care!" So there you go, seller just doesn't care!

So after messaging the seller again, I got this response:
"The 7.90 paid, was for postage and packaging. So the remainder of what you paid was for packaging and the extra paid to the post office for insurance in case it got lost."
I'm sorry but this a lie! £5.15 was the stamp on the package, so no way they paid insurance to the p.o.!! If the package was insured, it would be stated on it! I understand charging a bit more for packaging materials (although they didn't even use a bubble mailer!) and for fees, but lying to your buyer like that?
Here's what I replied:
"I'm sorry, but if the package was insured, it would say so on the stamp and the price would be higher.
Also, 2 small pieces of bubble wrap and a simple bag (not even bubble) envelope costing that much, no way."
Never got an answer back! And I'm actually upset, ignoring my messages, lying to me - is that nice seller behaviour?
I'm sure you guys will disagree, but I think I'm going to leave negative feedback. Overcharging, ignoring and lying - isn't that enough?

My question is did it state in the auction that it was a flat rate cost or a calculated cost? If so, then you agreed to that amount in the first place and eBay would take the seller's side on this one, sorry. It's possible that they calculate not only the shipping cost but their eBay fees into the shipping cost, as a lot of sellers do. Unfortunately, the fees aren't that cheap.
None of the above actually. I just got an in invoice for combined shipping after the auctions ended, there wasn't a shipping quote before. I would think it's unfair to add your fees to the shipping costs. I mean, it's ebay, you know you're gonna get fees, add them to your items for sale or something. And fees are a part of ebay anyway, you choose to sell there, you get fees. It's not fair to charge your buyer x1.5times the cost of actual shipping to get them back. But that's just me.

I was recently charged £7.90 shipping for a package from uk. When I got it I noticed that the actual shipping price was £5.15. And the dolls were packed in a plastic bag envelope, so nothing too fancy or expensive. Just some bubble wrap around them.
So that's a difference of £2.75, which is almost 4 euros for me. That's not little, I can get some take away with that money!
So I messaged the seller a few days ago, but haven't received a response. So what should I do about this? It's no tragedy, but I would like that money back, why should the seller keep it?
Should I open an ebay case? Isn't it a bit extreme for £2.75?
I did re-message the seller today, but I don't appreciate being ignored. Then again they don't have any active sales atm, so maybe they're not checking their ebay?

Thanks guys. I'm waiting for them to arrive and hopefully they'll be fine I once got a very cheap Sunset Shimmer from a chinese seller on ebay (back when I couldn't find her in stores) and she was perfect! So fingers crossed! I just won a pair too. Honestly I don't care if they are bootleg or not. They were low on the want list and I wasn't going to pay $20 each. So $13 for both ponies and shipping is just fine with me.
Let me know when you get yours Starflower, I'm curious about them  Post Merge: March 10, 2015, 10:30:40 AMAs others said they came in two packs (Pinkie and Fluttershy w/ one princess)
Toys r us still has them, but the ones there from hong kong are either factory defects or most likely bootleged versions.
If you want them PM me, I'm pretty sure my TRU has them But I go to a different one each weekend too.
Edit: Whoops, misread it a little. Didn't see you already bought them.  Still willing to pick up MIB versions for you if needed <3
Thanks so much for offering! *hugs*

Princesses Gold Lily and Sterling are part of the Rainbow Power line, and come in a 'princess pack' with one of the main six ponies and I think a comb. Congrats on your purchase!
I know that hun I'm just wondering if these ebay loose ones are legit or a knock off?

So as for regural sized brushables, we'll only get the 2 pegasi and 1-2 more? Or did I miss something?
Hasbro is concentrating so much on Equestria Girls...why? There are so many dolls already out there, but only 1 brand of ponies!
Not sure why people act as if EQG is replacing the brushables line.
The pop ponies and blind bags are a far bigger "problem". Clearly hasbro will not stop making ponies. However they obviously invest more into pop ponies and now these new big blindbag sets. Those are the pony toys Hasbro believes in most it seems.
It's the ponies who are taking over the ponies. XP
Maybe you're right. Whatever the reason though, there seem to be less and less brushable ponies. Whenever I go to look for ponies in toy stores, I see mostly EQG and Pop. And other releases I'm not interested in. I got the one and only Cutie Mark Magic Skywishes and Sunset Shimmer I found in my nearest toy shop! And I had to ask my friend to get me a Sweetie Drops from another shop as the one he bought from the same shop was the last one too And I wasn't even planning to get Skywishes and SS, as I already had older releases of them, but I had to get SOMETHING! So yeah, disappointed in the lack of brushables. But that will leave me more money for my new MH addiction

I just recently started collecting MH dolls and I've applied to join MH arena. But it's been 3 days I think and my account still hasn't been activated. Does it usually take that long? Should I maybe try again? Keep me some MH company while I wait?

I love trading Here is my sales thread and most of the items there are also available for trade: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,364502.0.htmlI don't have an up to date wantlist, so if you'd like a trade just let me know what you have (I'm concentrating on G1s atm but I also collect G3s and G4s). Just one thing: I'm a picky collector
