I received the following message on eBay from nichfue13:
"hey yaddy just wantde to you im such a bromie like honeslty loveee my ittle pony and i would appreciate if you could put the little mans in a mason jar and fill it up with yur life juice for me. thanks bb respond when you get the chance im currently going through a very rough divorce and hoenstly i think its time i explore my passion of dolls in life juice byeeeee"
They have 0 feedback and have never purchased anything from me before and I have never bought anything from them. I have blocked them and wondered if anyone knows if there is some way I can report this? Or am I just overreacting? I've never gotten a message like this before on eBay.

I found a lot of ponies last week with a BIN on it. It was more than I wanted to pay so I made an offer. Although the counteroffer was still a little high I accepted and paid via PayPal.
According to tracking via eBay, they were supposed to arrive today, but before they did, I received an email that the seller had filed a case and that "payment you received was made without the account holder's permission or was the result of a transaction error" and that my available balance would be placed on hold.
It went on: "Because you’ve got Funds Now, the transaction amount won’t be placed on hold and will be available in your balance. If you've already shipped the merchandise, let us know which shipping company you used, and provide the tracking number."
It was worded like I was the seller and not the buyer!
So I went into PayPal and responded (it treated me like the seller, even though it showed I had a negative balance in the transaction) and I entered tracking and the carrier and in the notes explained I was the buyer and not the seller.
A couple hours later they found in my favor. I tried to contact the seller to find out what is going on with this. Has anyone else had this occur?
My ponies arrived today with no issues but I'm scratching my head over how a case like this can be opened.
EDIT: The seller's eBay ID is omniumdesignzstudio in case anyone wants to avoid purchasing from them.

I bought a lot of ponies off eBay on Sept. 23. I paid right away and received a message from eBay that a label was prepared and the package was expected to arrive by Sept. 28.
When Sept. 28 came and there was no package I checked the tracking and a second tracking number was uploaded into the transaction, so I contacted the seller inquiring about that. Neither tracking numbers showed the package as being accepted by the postal service or en route to me. The seller said that the label got wet in the rain and was returned and she had to create a new label and was sorry she hadn't contacted me.
Well today there is a third tracking number uploaded on the transaction. This one shows the package en route. I contacted the seller inquiring about it. She said maybe the post office uploaded the third number onto eBay (which would be impossible) and says she is as confused as I am about the whole thing.
Is eBay playing tricks on us do you think or is my seller not being forthcoming with me? I've not had this occurrence before and just hope to get my package.

I won a lot on eBay a week ago. I was excited because it was the first I have won in a while and I won it for the opening bid (I am usually sniped at the last minute). It doesn't have anything spectacular in it. It's filled with common G1s, but they look to be in pretty good condition, and I am constantly working to upgrade my collection.
Anyway, I paid right away. I have been patient, but I have noticed it's never been marked shipped, even though the dates eBay says it's supposed to arrive between April 6-10. It's now April 10, and it still hasn't been marked shipped. I had sent a message to the seller yesterday asking if it has been shipped. I heard nothing back. I don't think the seller is going to ship the lot.
I really want this lot. How should I proceed? And if I were not to be able to get this lot, how do I make sure I can leave negative feedback? If the seller had wanted more for the lot, they should have had a higher opening bid, IMO, instead of refusing to send the ponies. Judging by their other auctions, they aren't regular pony sellers.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
* Oh, and one more question: I used my eBay bucks on this lot. Does anyone know whether I get them back to use again if I have to file a case against this seller?

I was bidding on a G1 lot last night and I was outbid on it. There weren't too many bidders and all the pictures were taken from above so you can't see the flaws. Anyway, I was surprised to see it relisted today when someone had outbid me last night on it. The ended auction # is 112806845242. I don't know what the case is, but it just seems a little fishy to me that it would have been relisted like that. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I have a problem. I sold a couple ponies on eBay. I combined shipping. It was a U.S. address. Then all of a sudden the buyer paid them separately and a Canadian address is being used. What do I do? I messaged the buyer that I'm going to have to resend the invoice. So far no response from them.

I don't know whether I've had ponies too much on the brain lately, but I had to share the dream I had last night: I was on eBay and someone had listed these fantastic BIN auctions for great prices! Except there were a couple that were way out of my price range. I think they were Nirvana G1s of some sort. Colombia or Greece or something. Anyway, they were being bought fast and I needed to grab up what I could before someone else got them, so I was clicking them to get what I could. Then, I encountered an eBay glitch right at the end as I clicked one of the auctions. I thought I had clicked one that was $15 and I was like please don't be the one for $2,000. Well, it was the $2,000 pony. And I was just trying to figure out what I was going to do about buying a $2,000 pony and how I was going to explain it to my husband or call up eBay or what when I woke up.

I have been battling an autoimmune disease called antiphospholipid syndrome since my early teens. I actually didn't know at that time what I had. My doctor knew I had something related to lupus but didn't know what it was and I was formally diagnosed by the Mayo clinic when I was 20 when I was having flares in the form of hemi-chorea and constant migraines with auras.
Since that time, I have had mini strokes and miscarriages, preeclampsia, grand mal seizures, thrombocytopenia, livedo riticularus, and many other symptoms.
I'm just curious as to whether anyone else in the pony community can relate. I almost feel alone as I personally have not met anyone who has APS. I have family who suffer from other autoimmune diseases so they can kind of relate.

This is kind of a complaint/topic. I'm curious as to the lack of feedback lately in my eBay transactions both as a seller and as a buyer. I'll buy something on eBay and get the item and leave glowing feedback and the seller won't leave feedback in return. It's strange. And as a seller I have been selling ALOT of ponies and yet getting very few feedbacks lately. I have probably been receiving one feedback for every 7-8 transactions. It's strange because it never used to be like this. I also wanted to find out if there is anything that you have done that has been successful to remind your buyers/sellers to leave feedback for you?
So I wanted to poll my fellow pony people about your eBay feedback habits. Mods, please move this if it's in the wrong place.

I leave feedback for every transaction good or bad. I rarely leave negatives or neutrals but I feel feedback is an integral part of eBay and our forums.

With Photobucket changing its rules and deciding to go rogue, I decided to go to Flickr. It's great for hosting pictures that I can use here. But my problem is I'm not good at writing code and I can't figure out how to write the code with Flickr to make my auctions look nice again. Or if there is a better hosting site where I don't have to write code (like Photobucket used to be), please let me know!

I'm very upset about our lack of mail delivery today. Not because I am waiting for something (I am, but...) but because I have had 4 packages waiting in my box since 9:30 a.m. to go out. Our mailman usually comes around 1-2 p.m. but if he's off, the time can vary. It's now after 5 p.m. and still nothing. As far as I know it's never been this late. Tomorrow is a holiday so no mail then either. So I'm not happy. Does anyone know if USPS changed holiday days this year? When I looked up their website it says they recognize the actual holiday not the day before. I need to get these packages out ASAP and it's not desirable to pack up a toddler in a car and take a 40-minute car ride to mail these.

Last week I mailed a package to Canada. I have a scale and I print my labels at home. So, I did what I always do. I had eBay make up the label and I checked it over and I sent out the package. But the next day, the package came back to me with no explanation. I thought it might just be a fluke so I sent it out again. Today, it came back to me. Still no explanation. My husband is going to take it to the post office if he has enough time today and talk to the rep there.
But does anyone have an explanation for this? I have never had a problem before and I want to avoid this in the future.

My husband just text me from the post office and the guy had no clue why it's been coming back to me. Hopefully it continues on. He's at a different post office, not the one connected with our zip code.

I'm seeming to be having problems with my messages. It's showing I have a new message but when I go to my messages, there doesn't seem to be anything I haven't read.
The problem with this is on my app it'll keep showing a popup every time I open the Arena that I have an unread message and I keep checking just to make sure but I have no unread messages. Under "my messages" however, it says [1]. I have pm'd a couple mods about this problem both last week and earlier today, but no one has responded. Is there anyone who knows something who can help me? I'd be forever grateful.

I have several ponies for BIN right now. Anyway, while I had my toddler at the doctor yesterday, one of them was bought, so I was not able to get it in the mail before the mailman came to my house for the day.
A couple hours later I get a message from Paypal:
"Please Respond within 7 Days Regarding Case #
You have received a payment that we believe may not have been authorized by
the PayPal account holder. Here are the details of the transaction we are
investigating:"
"We recommend that you don’t ship the item until our investigation is
complete. If you’ve already shipped the item, please log in to your PayPal
account and go to the Resolution Center to provide the shipping details."
So I log onto my account, and sure enough, there is a case going about this. I'm a little confused about this. I clicked the option that I haven't sent the item and to issue a refund to the buyer. That seemed like the only option that pertained to this situation. But Paypal is holding the money for at least a week while they "investigate." So, my question is would this have been something that the buyer instigated because they regretted their buy? They only have 1 feedback, so they are a new buyer. They didn't send me any messages. I would have worked something out if they needed me to, like if they had a kid who decided to use their account. It just seems weird. Anyway, I added them to my block list because I had a funny feeling about this whole thing. If anyone wants me to pm them their eBay name, let me know. And if anyone has any insight about this kind of thing, please fill me in because I haven't had this happen to me before.

So no one has had this issue? Wow, Paypal, thanks for this. EBay wants me to ship out the item. Obviously, Paypal hasn't notified eBay of the problem because nothing is showing up on eBay. Nothing from the buyer. No guidance or anything other messages from Paypal about why they would be suspicious of this transaction. Especially since the buyer's address is the address I was asked to ship to, which I provided to them...

So, I bid on this lot of 6 ponies. No big deal. An hour before they were set to end, the seller, gail2748, sends me a message saying that the shipping cost is going to be double than what is set in the auction (in which case I would not have bid) and will have to charge me that extra if I win. I inform her that you cannot change that once a bid has been placed and I would contact eBay if they go against their policy.
Anyway, I win and promptly pay. The seller "ships" the item out fairly quickly, which surprised me. Today, I get a prompt that my package is delivered, yet I didn't receive a package in the mail. So, I check the tracking. It says delivered to Marietta GA. Problem is, I live in Ohio, not Georgia. So, I called up eBay and opened up a request through them. I let them know exactly what happened. The seller has until the 15th to respond and get the package to me. They responded today with, "it's been delivered." And I, of course, responded back with, "I live in Ohio, not Georgia."
Avoid this person at all costs. They are a nightmare and would-be a scammer if you aren't paying attention.
