And I also get a message from bucksnut.03 that says:
"Looks like you rob from the poor. What a horrible thing to do. Buy something for a third of the price and resale it to triple your money. Is that what it takes to pay your mortgage?"
open a case against her for the shipping. That is WAY over the limit. Make sure you save those messages as well.
updating. Have you looked at the feedback? seems bucksnut.03 is a frequent buyer from the lady that overcharged you shipping.
Oh my goodness it looks like we have just stumbled across and scammer. I would definitely contact ebay. This person needs to be stopped.
Can you call ebay? That is so tacky. I hope you get it sorted. =/

I'll take a look now! I knew something was fishy!

I think bucksnut.03 and lieubug2469 are the same person after looking at the feedback. They both do the Attttt instead of A+++!
Did you get the chance to tell them about the other account?
WHAT!? how could they remove that negative. my gods im so glad i sell all my stuff except g4 items on etsy. this is getting ridiculous. :( im so sorry you have to deal with that butter. and ebay being so effinjg generic in their responses. my guess is its automated unfortunately
Wow- I hate the ebay form letters.
I wouldn't be surprised if they DON'T fix things for you. I am sorry this has happened to you, the lady sounds like a real nutcase, I hope she doesn't continue to stalk your auctions :(

I blocked both eBay accounts. I just don't understand why she decided to harass me when all I did was ask for a partial shipping refund. At that point I hadn't even left her feedback but she had taken it upon herself to leave false positive feedback on my account saying I had left her bad feedback. She's a quack. So I went ahead and left her honest feedback and she had eBay remove it.
Playing the devil's advocate here, but if the $25 shipping charge was listed on the auction, then you have no grounds to complain. You agreed to these terms when bidding. I really don't think you have grounds to win a case, Ebay or paypal won't give you a partial refund for the shipping overcharge- you'll either have to eat it or return the ponies for a full refund.
With that out of the way, the seller is a nutbag and deserves to be kicked off of Ebay for her adittude alone. Did you in anyway threaten negative feedback in any if your messages? This could be why it was removed. Be sure to report her false positive feedback she left you. Ask to speak to a manager if you can, Ebay is all about getting you off the phone asap. Did you get a response as to why your neg feedback was removed?
I wish you the best of luck.
EDIT
is this the auction?
221219043904
The shipping price is clearly listed so Ebay wont refund anything, nor should they.
You know Blue, its totally understandable that you would think that perhaps the shipping might have been fair at first. There are a lot of ponies in that lot if that is the right auction. I don't blame you for bidding and then saying something after you realized the shipping wasn't fair (after you got the box and saw it wasn't as expensive). I totally get that. I would have done the same thing.
When you left FB, did you mention anything about her having multiple accounts. If so, that may be why ebay removed it.
Also, how awful of a seller! Keep calling ebay, different people help differently. I've found to repeat calls until I get someone helpful. See if you can't leave FB again for her but make it into a Neutral with poor star ratings.
Did she ship the package as stated (shipping method?) I once bought an item (non pony related) and they put priority as the shipping method, but when the item shipped to me it was first class and half the cost. I got to leave a negative for it but ebay said they would help with the shipping overcharge, but never seen any money returned.
Good luck sweetie! and keep up updated
EBay not only needs to have better customer support, but they need to stick to their values.Wouldn't that be a change? :P
GASP!!! She could lose her top seller thing? How about banning her for a period of time?

Will they let you leave another Feedback rating?
Will they let you leave another Feedback rating?
No, I already looked for a way to do that. I didn't violate any terms. I didn't get a warning for my feedback. So I don't see why it was removed or why I'm not allowed to leave some kind of feedback.

That is very odd. Have you spoke to anyone about it. They should allow you to leave feedback.
Ebay customer support told me if they found she is in violation of shill bidding she could get a warning or her accounts could be temporarily limited or her status from top seller could be compromised, etc.
what a horrible person! I'm so sorry you had to deal with all of this, it must have been really stressful :hug:Ebay customer support told me if they found she is in violation of shill bidding she could get a warning or her accounts could be temporarily limited or her status from top seller could be compromised, etc.
ugh! thats pathetic! :throw: mind you I found a case of obvious shill bidding on ebay and they did absolutely nothing to that seller either :(
Beware, I don't know what may have happened the first time, but she relisted her sea pony lot on eBay...
Have you had any kind of resolution on your shipping dispute?
Wow. I'd actually been high bidder on that lot yesterday and considered increasing my bid after I'd been outbid. Glad that I didn't!
Wow Bluerose, it sounds like ebay might be working on this finally. I hope they do something soon.
Wow Bluerose, it sounds like ebay might be working on this finally. I hope they do something soon.
I hope so too! After the guy saw the sea pony lot relisted 3 times with bucksnut the winner every time, I don't see how you can't see that she is manipulating the system. He agreed that she is most likely the same person behind both user names.

I think it's ridiculous that she's even leaving feedback for the auctions that she's shilling up. It seems to me that it would be less conspicuous/obvious to just set the auction to private and/or not leave feedback at all, wait a few days, and just relist it as though she'd had a NPB. Nothing like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs right to her door, so to speak.
How awful! Glad you watched and observed her behavior!
One lot of babies she had ending a little bit ago has just been relisted!
I was looking at the ending soonest auctions a little bit ago and saw it.
Now it's back again within the last hour or so I was on ebay.
That same bidder has won her other auctions multiple times also.. I wanted to report her but I can't figure out how to report her for shill bidding. :(

Looks like some Shill bidding going on also.

Yes, I've been on the phone with eBay twice about her shill bidding and manipulation of feedback practices. But I figure the more people who report her the faster something will get done!
That same bidder has won her other auctions multiple times also.. I wanted to report her but I can't figure out how to report her for shill bidding. :(
I think you can only report it when the auction is still going. Basically there is a small little link that says "Report item" over to the right. Then you can use the drop down list to say shill bidding.
Does anyone know if DonnaTurtle is a member here? It just pains me that lieubug took such advantage of her and bid up the auctions she won so much!
Also, bucksnut has bid up this auction: 221227380540
So please please please go in to that listing report it before it ends! Let eBay know it is fraudulent!!!

Here is a link on the completed auctions that bucknut.03 has bid on which are completed.
Looks like they don't buy too much from anyone but the seller we have been discussing.
I have blocked both user names and hope they both get kicked off ebay. Of course I am sure they will be back under a new user name, seems to happen all the time.
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=bucksnut.03&completed=1&all=1&rows=100&sort=3&_rdc=1 (http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidItems&userid=bucksnut.03&completed=1&all=1&rows=100&sort=3&_rdc=1)
are you sure that package only cost a bit over $5 to send? It costs me about $5 to ship one pony tracked, and I deal with ebay all the time.
Shipping should of been around $14-15 for all those. I'm not trying to put you down in anyway,but you also agreed to pay the $25 for it since you bid.
But me personally, I would be happy regardless since you won such an amazing lot with a pony worth more thenthe lot and shipping combined .
But what I don't understand is this seller, why would they be bidding against their own items? That defeats the purpose and to me sounds like a complete waste of time. IF they want set prices for their items they need to do set price or best offer. But they will prob get kicked off since this is going under investigation.
I do hope you get some money in return. but either way you still scored a nice lot of ponies.

That's what it said on the shipping label. And I can read (I have a bachelor's degree in communications with a minor in English). She lives in the same state as I do. She used a shipping bag to ship them and wrapped them soaking wet in colored tissue paper which stained some of the ponies.
But I think you're missing the point. She scammed me and she's scamming others on eBay and I'm doing what I can to stop her now.
Just did a quick search on my phone. I see the listing for the Sea ponies in my watch list, but not when I look at her other auctions. I do see she has other stuff up though, so maybe they only got the sea ponies?
I want to report this person also, but I can't figure out what to choose in the report item section. There doesn't seem to be anything about shill bidding there and there certainly isn't anything listed about feedback manipulation. So how are you guys reporting her listings and what are you choosing after you click report item?
I think it's more than that. I just ran a search for mlp babies, worded several ways. They don't pop up.
Was using Chrome, just tried Safari. Still no there, but if I click on the link here, they show up. This is not a good thing finding that different browsers find different auctions. ;) :biggrin:
I will happily report any auctions ya'll post here unless someone has a magic trick to finding them myself. More than me being curious than I NEED to know. :frog:
The baby lot ended! Bucksnut was the winner! Haha!
Already!? She doesn't miss a beat!The baby lot ended! Bucksnut was the winner! Haha!
Yup, and it's already been relisted too
Whats even funnier is the feedback that bucknut left for those won auctions that have been relisted...TY
I wonder who they think they are fooling at this point.
I remember in the past this kind of behavior would cause an auction to be pulled immediately.
LOL....she can't bid up what hasn't been bid on...
And I noticed she put a $35 BIN on the baby lot. But then why didn't she just let bucksnut keep the baby lot for $35...? LOL
Oh man.... someone bid on Baby Stockings....ugh!
I'm seeing them both as ended as of today.

The Sea ponies is still up
Since I had won one of her auctions, I thought that eBay would be more inclined to listen to me but the guy asked me why I cared.
annnnd they also have a ring listed in which bucknut is high bidder.

Whadda, who, what, WHAT?! Ok, this here might be the very reason i will go and close my newly made ebay account! i mean, this whole situation, but to get this answer from their representative?!?! YOU who got ripped off, they admitted it and did nothing, with not even a "sorry"?! You who have been spending time figuring out people who are breaking THEIR rules?! YOU who have been tirelessly reporting this blatant fraud for them to do nothing! I am speechless, wow!
Seriously, the fact that they have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this whole time, is disgusting. bye, bye ebay!
When I told him what the eBay worker said, he was shocked. That is like, if you reported someone shoplifting and they said something like "So what, it wasn't something expensive?".
Well, the sea pony lot ended and bucksnut didn't bid it up anymore since yesterday morning... I wonder if eBay told her to cut it out?

Cut it out...just Ban her A _ _ and be done with it ;)
Is it odd that bucksnut has allegedly bought all this stuff recently and the feedback count remains at 72? Easier to track, but why is it not changing?
what in the world!? how is ebay sitting and doing nothing about this!
Start a topic on the ebay community forums. That'll make some noise and then they'll have to do something about her if the whole of ebay can see it!

I would start from the beginning where you were overcharged, to the positive neg feedback, to the harassment from bucknut and then making the connection.
Did she do the shill bidding on the auction that you won?
Ebay has a system for banning members and none of us know what it is. They probably give a lot of warnings first and large numbers of members probably have to be affected by selling practices.
Ebay still hasn't done anything about this?!
That's crazy and scary. What a psychopath.
It may also count as identity theft and postal fraud. If you can get proof of who sent it, it may be worth talking to an attorney.
Okay, this women is seriously nuts. Yes, file a police report like everyone else said.
I can't believe anyone would go so far over an ebay transaction.
I just read through everything and I have something to add to it but now I'm afraid to! You guys don't think she has access to this thread, do you? Like, I don't want her putting two and two together and finding out who I am if she has any of my info still...
Anyway, I've dealt with lieubug2469 back in May when this was all going on. What I have to say doesn't make her look any better... It just helps confirm what kind of seller she is. Ugh! I can't believe I've dealt with someone like this, and now everything makes sense.
oh man, bluerose I am so sorry you've had to deal with this! :-( evilbay living up to its moniker
on the ebayID vs here membership I think our mods have access to check for that = I know over at the TP that they've got a link under the avatar = I find it useful as I know I prefer supporting members than non on my pony purchases = maybe that is something we can start here as I would think in some ways we are still a small community so let's hope there is a way to out and then get rid of that kind of behavior
hope there is a happy ending to this tale o' woe... hoping you filed that police report for sure
Wow, that's incredibly rude not to even reimburse you for shipping!
I will NEVER have business with eBay until this person is BANNED from there!
I will NEVER have business with eBay until this person is BANNED from there!
It makes it hard to feel safe when eBay allows people like this on their site. And they can have access to your address and phone number! It's scary!
Oh wow! I can't believe she didn't even offer to refund your shipping. I don't think I could've kept my mouth shut about it. I would've made her pay first. Your sweetier than I could've been.

Ditto! I would have made them pay first before I shipped anything because you never know with some sellers. How completely rude! Why hasn't ebay banned this person?!

Yeah, we probably should have, but at the same time, maybe it's better we didn't pursue it. If we would have been like "yeah, well... I need to you pay me the shipping cost before I do anything" after she responded without offering, she might have gotten insulted and started harassing us too since she seems kinda unhinged and all.
Anyway, I guess we know better now if something like that happens again lol
Believe it or not, I have another update:
I'm not positive it is her, but both my husband and I are pretty sure it is: This month my husband started getting strange magazines in his name: Ohio Living, Seventeen, Men's Health, Rider, Quilting. They all have two things in common for sure, they are all to be billed later to our address and all were sent from a mailed slip in May (when I had the run-in with lieubug). My husband has called and cancelled them all and the last one he asked for them to locate the slip and send it to us so we can see where it was mailed from. If it was mailed from Bainbridge, Ohio, or nearby, we've got her!
When I bought the ponies from lieubug, she had my husband's name, not mine, so it would make sense for her to send the magazines to him, not me. So that's why I'm pretty positive it's her.

I asked my husband then what when we find out and we are still debating that. So I will keep that in mind.
We are leaving for vacation this week. I'm hoping when we return a slip will be waiting for us and not a bunch more magazines my husband didn't subscribe to. He had told all of the magazine customer support people a shortened version of what happened except for the magazine he asked a slip from. He told them all the details as he knows them. So hopefully that actually got something done and put a bee in their pants to find the slip. But if it was destroyed, that doesn't help our cause.Heya,

THIS!! This is a FEDERAL CRIME. It's mail fraud!! This is a HUGE crime now because of terrorism.... especially since the Anthrax scare all those years back. If you have enough information, you might want to consider levying charges against her.... this is beyond harassment now. This is a form of malicious stalking; she has your personal information and is using that to commit mail fraud!
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Mail+Fraud
Her intent is to defraud you, and she's doing it this way because you know HER address too, from the return shipping on your package at the time. Seriously, think about taking legal action and now just yipping around her eBay account. Plus, she's committing mail fraud against those magazine publishers as well. She could get in SERIOUS trouble. Seriously, this lady needs a harsh dose of reality... the power of anonymity and eBay letting her do whatever the buck she wants obviously made her think that she could get away with anything. What would really help clinch the proof if she's the only Bainsbridge seller you've worked with in the time leading up to these incidents... that would put the nail in the coffin, which I for one am eager to see happen... I'm usually highly non-confrontational, but what she's doing is beyond toleration. She's bilking people out of every penny she can, and when she can't? She starts all over again anyway. Then, she accuses YOU of being the thief... and now the mail. Being a jerk is one thing... committing a federal crime is another entirely.

I suggest save all your messages, take a picture of them, print them, etc etc etc. I would be in fear for my life if I was in a similar situation like yours. TL;DR call police!
Yes!! Yes! Be angry, be firm, be aggressive!! I'm not confrontational..... but this woman needs to be locked up!! And eBay needs to get the picture!! You're being attacked by a nutcase!!!

Holy Cow. That's beyond absurd. I thought the overcharging was falling enough but the rest? Sick. Is there any way she's on this forum and seeing the pot you've stirred with her name on it? Otherwise, the reaction seems insanely prolonged for a feedback that was erased. Can she know you're threatening her (criminal) livelihood?
:/

I really doubt she's on this forum since she's not a collector. But all the trouble she's stirred up is her own doing. As others have said, this woman is insane!

I'm (perhaps wrongly) inferring from your comment that you took my comment as critical of you. I wanted to clear that up because I've seen you have to defend yourself in this thread and I think *that's* horrible. I don't want you to come away feeling like I'm doing the same thing so let me try again! :)
1) Charging $20 over for shipping and getting away with it is unthinkable. I'm surprised that anyone in these forums can defend that practice!
2) I agree, no matter what, that this woman MUST suffer from some form of mental illness. There is no possible other explanation because her actions go well above and beyond merely "career criminal" to "fraudulent nutcase".
3) My question about whether she's a member here wasn't about whether we know her or she's an informed collector but really more about how much she knows about your response (here and on eBay Forums) to what's happened to you--whether she has a Google Alert search set up for her username or something that led her to read this. I wonder if her extreme and continued harrassment is in retribution for what you've said here? (Would this thread come up if you googled her eBay username? I don't even know.) You are well and rightfully on the warpath, protecting ALL OF US, and I appreciate and respect that. It is astonishing that her shill bidding has gone on THIS long and THIS blatantly. But with the magazines and the harassment, a full month (or more?) later, when the feedback that pissed her off was deleted by eBay--it just makes me wonder if she's aware somehow that her time as a 'respected' super star seller is very, very short.
TL; DR
I didn't mean to upset you in any way. I'm thoroughly and completely on your side in every aspect of this debacle.
What a vile person!! Ugh, it's unbelievable how vindictive some people can be!! She's in the wrong, and she's attacking you!! We're all behind you, bluerose....

Thank you! She's attacking my family! My husband didn't do anything wrong and he's being caught in the crossfire! I feel bad that it's my fault that I use his eBay account (we actually share it) and that I forgot to change his name to mine on the address before the ponies got sent out!
Unfortunately, the eBay community is very critical and they're making it all about the shipping, which I was afraid of. Trying to make me the bad guy for thinking overcharging me by $20 wasn't a crime by eBay standards and completely ignoring the shill bidding part. If anyone wants to help me defend myself, go to to the eBay boards, under bidding. You should find my thread pretty easily.

Perhaps it would have been better to just tell the shill bidding part of the story rather than everything. You know some people just can't take more than two issues in a thread at once. LOL You may have to start over and just do a shill bidding thread in another category...like safe harbor.

If anyone wants to help me defend myself, go to to the eBay boards, under bidding. You should find my thread pretty easily.

Backing you up ;) (I'm in.the.mood.to.shop)
Oh good grief those people are just crazy they are totally missing the point. I guess there is no hope for the human mind any more.
Bluerose, its pretty clear to me that no matter what you try to say there isn't enough information for them to formulate an objective response at this point. They even have found the other post I was hoping would help with a more objective response. I am not sure there is enough information there for them to understand what is really going on and to be honest I am shocked that they think it is fine for a seller to act this way because you complained about shipping. I think the entire world has just lost their marbles. I am not sure this step is going to give you the results you hoped. Sigh.
Wow, a lot of the people on the eBay boards are really really jaded, unhelpful jerks, aren't they? Not just on your thread; I was reading through some of the others and it's the same way. Not a nice environment at all.
Yeah the ebay community stinks. I bought some wallscrolls, asked the seller about shipping as the magical ebay calculator had done it and it is always wrong, didn't get a response, paid the invoice...seller told me she sent them priority/tracked. They turned up much later than they should have with priority, with a $12 shipping cost on the label when I paid $42. When I asked the community if they could get away with this, they pretty much said it was my fault.
ANYWAY
crazy stalker lady needs a visit from the police, yo.
Unfortunately I learned years ago that very rarely does anyone post anything helpful when you post a problem over there. Yes, there are the few occasions but that fshardy is a troll. He has been around for years and usually his posts are full of negativity and never helpful. It's usually just an attack on the poster.
I am sorry you had to experience that when you were clearly just trying to warn others and seek advice.
ive never used ebay forums, what the heck is wrong with those people? are they all trolls? :(Well...here's my experience
I'm actually sorry I suggested it, Bluerose! Ebay AU forums are really good. There's the odd moron, but everyone tries to see it from both sides, and issues are usually resolved well. I'd never been to the US forum before, but assumed it would be the same. idiots.
She said the forum people are just idiots and to ignore them.
Looks like the harasser has shown up on the TP to harass Bluerose there. She used her yahoo email address with her name in it as her username. :blink: Well.. now we have a name and a location for her..She lived in Bainbridge, Ohio.
(Not that I know what to do with this information.. but.. yanno. Maybe it's not even her.. )
Oh my! :( Even harassing members on multiple forums! :( So sad...Yes it is, but thankfully we will shut her down if she tries it here.
