Given that the seller was new, I would not ask for any kind of money back on this one.  You got one heck of a great deal to start - she would be worth twice what you paid with all her original accessories - so there really is no loss to you.  If you are that disappointed in her, I would try deboxing and reselling her.  Another will come along eventually.

I probably sound harsh, but I could not bring myself to do that to a new seller on such a great deal.  As for the bugs, a tiny car vacuum might solve that problem.

Congratulations on your great deal!

Thanks everyone!

     Well, I called eBay, and I demanded BOTH my fees and the extra I had to pay for the currency conversion (because the GBP had gone up against the USD when I had to pay for the refund, and I had to pay MORE just to refund the buyer).  They gave them back to me.  However, I am still really disappointed that this happened. 

I guess from now on, I am going to just offer Worldwide free shipping and mark items as gifts and undervalue them.  I shouldn't have to, but I was so stressed out about this, that it's worth not going through the headache.

So Sorry to hear this!  It is so hard because there are a lot of buyers out there who put stuff on hold and then never pay for it, or take a really long time.  Many sellers get tired of it.  But taking your money and not holding it is wrong.

Hello Everypony!

     So, some of you may remember I had an issue last year with an eBay buyer who filed with eBay and got money back after I had already had proof of shipping with eBay.  For those of you who did not read, but want to know now, here is a link to the old thread:

http://www.mlparena.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=275994.html

Basically, I had sold some items to a buyer overseas and a claim was filed and I lost the case even after I provided proof of shipment, called eBay 10 times, and lost my fees and everything.

Well, Guess what came in the mail a few days ago?

THE PACKAGE! 


That's right!  And here are some helpful tips now for sellers out there:

1.  The REAL reason the claim was filed, was because the buyer did not want to pay the import fees charged by customs.  Rather than contact me and do the honorable thing, the buyer just let them sit in customs where they were eventually returned to sender (me, of course!).

2.  The tracking number that eBay needs to side with a seller (in order for you to win a case such as this one), was ON THE PACKAGE!  Sure enough, as it turns out (from what I gather), when a package enters customs, it is issued an entirely new tracking number that will provide details as to where it is once it gets into the destination country.  Had I called customs (or even the mail carrier overseas in this case), I would have been able to get this number and would not have lost money.

Sellers, please note this to protect yourselves and know that 99.999999999999% of Packages never really "get lost." 

If I have offended anyone, I apologize.  I guess I am still a bit heated about this.

Thanks for listening!

I would definitely wait to see if the item was relisted.  I actually just had an issue where I was unable to find something and I had to refund a buyer.  It does happen.

Gorgeous Collection!  I love the Mintys!

Well, I would not sell just to sell and then regret it.  As much as you might need the money, you won't really be able to get them all back.  But for storage sake, I have actually looked into renting a unit.  You might be able to get a great deal on one.

Best of luck to you whatever you decide!

She is definitely real.  I managed to snag one from ebay for $64 last year.  She is really cute!

There is one on eBay I think.  It was just listed.  PM me if you can't find it.
