I won an auction on ebay from someone in Canada(I'm in the USA), and it won't let me pay the invoice.  It keeps denying it.  I've called up Paypal, and they told me the issue is on the seller's end.  The seller called up Paypal, and Paypal told them the issue is on MY end.  So, very useful.  Thanks Paypal.  You're always there for your customers.

I'm trying to pay through a bank account, there is MORE than enough money to cover the cost of the item.  This account has been active and confirmed since basically Paypal came into existence.  I used this account before AND after this issue started up with no problems(I did a test BIN just in case, and it went through fine).

Has anyone had this problem before?  Any idea how to resolve it?

I'm just checking to see if anyone would be interested in a ponymeet in the Southern California area. 

My husband ordered something for me from ebay as a surprise birthday present, and apparently there have been problems. He didn't tell me about it until just last night, and I've spent the morning trying to track down a missing package that is hard to track, and hasn't been updated since the 7th.  It's an international package that apparently made it across the world and through customs to get sent to the wrong local post office, and then eaten by a post office that really doesn't care(I was there today, and hope never to return!).

Anyway, I'm helping him try to sort this out since he never does ebay stuff, and I seem to have bumped into a change to an ebay policy that I'd like confirmation on.

We're still trying to find the package, but if the worst happens, how long does he have to open a not received claim?  It used to be 45 days or 60 days after you paid, but I went to the site to check, and now it says 30 days after the latest arrival estimate.  For anyone who's opened a claim recently, is there any place where it tells you the last day you can open a claim so you can be sure? Is the 30 day after last shipping estimate correct?  Its latest shipping estimate is July 19th.   I want to give this package every chance to arrive, but I also don't want my husband to lose  however much he spent on the present.

Thanks!

I Know a lot of people here are buying toys for kids this year.  It looks like Bunchems(those little plastic burrs that are new this year) are something to avoid.  They get stuck in hair something fierce(being artificial burrs it's pretty much their job to do that).

An article with pictures of some of the many children who had problems:
http://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniemcneal/bunchems-hair-woes#.st5WGPKNV

Most of the kids ended up losing most or all of their hair to these things.

I read all the amazon reviews.  They also stick to carpets, blankets, and pets.  One unfortunate person claims to have gotten drunk and made underpants out of them.  That did not end well.  If you are buying for a household that has children with long hair in it(any children at all, even if this is meant for a child who doesn't), you'll probably want to rethink Bunchems.

Hi there:)

I'm looking for a website.  It's a gallery of all the puffy/flat stickers that came with the G1s.  It's got photos of all the stickers, and is really a great site.  The person who owns it is a member here, but I can't seem to remember the name of the site. 

Does anybody know the site I'm talking about?

The new season of Storage Wars started tonight, and I got a surprise while watching it.  They "found" a bin of G3 ponies and a large plush Pinkie Pie in one of the lockers.  It ended up being one of the featured items for the episode.  They went to get the  bin of G3s and the plush valued by a brony.   The information he gave was slightly less than accurate, and he sang a song about ponies.  It was quite weird.

Does anyone know of a up to date G4 checklist?  Strawberryreef's checklists haven't been updated in a year, and I really need something that picks up where it left off. I've got a year's worth of stuff to catalog, and no checklist to do it!   I'm looking for a checklists that have the same sort of items as the ones on Strawberryreef(brushables, fashion size, major plush releases, playsets, blind bags, etc - mostly the official toy line including all re-releases).  I don't need much outside that for merchandise.  And I don't need Equestria Girls, just MLP.

Thanks!

I'm attempting to organize my G1 accessory collection, and for the non-USA items, I'm trying to group them generally by country/area.  I am not 100% sure which pony lines were UK exclusives, and which ones were available in the UK and/or other parts of Europe.  I have a general idea about a lot of them, but I'd like to double check.  Basically, I'm looking to see which items came out only in the UK.

The way I'm "coding" each item is as follows:
UK: UK exclusive, not available elsewhere
EURO: Lines that were available in the UK and other countries in Europe, or just in other countries in Europe

I also have subsets for Greek and German exclusive items, but I know what those are.

Here's what I'm wondering about:

Hair Do Ponies
Great Hair Ponies
Baby Applejack Play 'n Care set
Baby Bowtie/Baby Lemondrop carriage sets
Cookery Ponies
Schooltime Ponies
Seaside Babies
Sweetie Babies
Good Weather
Rosette
Roller Skating Ponies
Sweet Kisses Ponies
MLP Tales Ponies
Sweet Clover's Picnic set
Princess Sparkle
Tutti Fruitti's birthday set
Princess Dragons
Nurse Ponies
Family Ponies(Berrytown, etc)

Thanks:)
