Hello,
It was in April this year that I saw a
"MiB" Dainty Dove English language, So "My Little Pony" and the rest was all written in English. On the picture the box looked super clean, unopened, no dents, tears or anything. Just perfect. I did question the price a little in my mind as it was listed for 29,90 euro and the shipping was also 29,90 euro. Which I know for sure isn't the case. I waited a couple of weeks and saw that it had merely 1 watcher plus me. Which surprised me because I've seen other Dainty Dove MiB which went over a 120 dollars. So sceptical but curious I contacted the seller, asking if the box was indeed unopened/sealed and undamaged. He told me it was unopened and new. I also asked him why the shipping cost was that high. I know for a fact that it should be around 11 - 15 euro max. But it was 29,90. He told me he could make it 19,90 euro...
So eventually I agreed to buy it. Since I expected him to have awnsered my questions honestly. But once it arrived, I noticed the box was not at all undamaged. In fact, the seal was broken and the box had been opened There was even new tape taped over where the old tape had been. It had been poorly stored cause the flap which closes the box was torn. So when you put the box on it's side you see a black gapping hole. So since it was already open, I looked inside. I didn't take anything out but just looked. Inside the box I could see the chapel and some other things wrapped in plastic as unopened. But I was highly dissapointed with this buy since I expected the seller to be honest.
So I contacted the seller and telling him it was not a MiB item at all. The box was opened and damaged. He then confessed that he opened it to look inside. I was so mad. I then asked for a 10 euro refund. Which he immidiatly did. No awsner whatsoever. So...case closed in Ebay/Paypal policy. But once I received my 10 euro refund I just noticed something which didn't even caught my attention at first due to the big dissapointment over it not being a MiB as he originally promised (even after asking). So I look at the box and what does it say?
"Mi Pequeño Pony - La Boda de Pony Romantica". I was stunned. First because, how did I not notice this? And second, how did he dare to misrepresent the item like this? He has tons of good feedback on Ebay, only 1 negative as I just noticed.
I was going to post the listing below but I noticed the picture is not longer available so I took a screenshot of the listing (picture) from my inbox:

This was the box I eventually got:

The seller's name is:
retropazzia22I am pretty sure he/she has sold ponies to you all as well.
But this is a typical case of "If it's too good to be true, then it usually is" (or however you write it).
PS: This came all back to me when I was browsing for MiB/MoC G2 today. I came across a Secret Tale MoC and the seller's name rang a bell. It always bothered me as I didn't take any action apart from a small refund. I felt like I should put it out here. Not saying the seller is bad. But in this case it fels like he/she just wanted to get rid of the item fast.
