Well...can't say I've ever seen a business shoot themselves in the foot any harder than PB just has. What in the world is their team doing?! This is arguably the worst idea I've ever heard of.

I've seen something nearly as bad. Just this year too. Back in Feb it leaked that American Girl got the bright idea to start permanently attaching the underwear to it dolls. At the SAME TIME they released their very first bathroom with a toilet!  Forcing dolls to go potty with their underwear on.  The AG fans revolted and the company was forced to reverse the idiotic decision.

The only way this isn't as bad as PB is because AG wasn't attaching the underwear and then charging us $400 to get it removed. What PB is doing should be illegal! It's nothing but ransom and blackmail!

I did see that even though I don't have any AGs! I didn't see they reversed it though. Glad they did! Because yeah...that was also incredibly stupid. 

This here is some kind of cartoon mustache twirling villain stuff, but like the bumbling joke/idiot villain kind. "We lock up their data and charge them $400 to get it back! Brilliant!Muahahahahaha! ...What do you mean no one is paying the ransom and we're shutting down?"

I expect to see PB gone in a month or two at most if they don't reverse this too. A shame because I was one of those "been using it for a decade" people and I hate what it became the past couple years.

Well...can't say I've ever seen a business shoot themselves in the foot any harder than PB just has. What in the world is their team doing?! This is arguably the worst idea I've ever heard of. And it is SO weird who it's affecting and who it isn't. So far...none of my images have been replaced. Neither here or in my very large photo thread on another forum. I'm an active user too. Just...O_o

What would you guys say now is the most private image hosting site? I stuck with PB for so long because I don't want all this tagging stuff, upvoting stuff, rando comments. I just want to host and share in specific places. If I wanna share images with the whole world, I use Instagram or whatever. Flickr is probably out for me though because I would just feel like I'm stinking up the place with my amateur hobby photography and sales photos.

One more bump. This stuff has to go!

Unfortunately putting "no refunds" and "no returns" in your sales on ebay is essentially just bluffing. It can scare off someone who doesn't know how ebay works from trying it, but at the end of the day, ebay can and will force you to accept a return and refund regardless of how you wrote your own policy. Ebay's policy overrides the seller's policies. All part of their "the customer is ALWAYS right" thinking.

But that is weird to state they want the book after it was turned away. I can't see how they benefit from that one. If it were buyer's remorse, then yeah, all they'd have to do is return to you and then not answer you and they'd eventually be refunded by you or ebay depending on how they wanted to deal with it.

Lots for sale today! First off, starting with basic info!

*I ship from California in the US and am not offering international shipping at this time(working on it. Apologies for the inconvience. I can ship from a PO international if you do not mind a 1-2 week wait time for the item to be shipped to you. But note that I also do not underdeclare and it must have tracking.)

*My shipping time for domestic orders is now a faster 1-3 days!

*I have feedback from ebay and the PKMNCollectors LJ group. Just ask to see my links!

*I currently only accept Paypal. (No e-checks or Money Orders please.)

*I am not open to trades at this time, sorry!

*Prices do NOT include shipping, but they do include fees.

*I will do holds for 24 hours! Unless we work something out previously, any item that is not paid for within 24 hours will go back up for sale. I DO count price quotes as a type of hold so you have time to reply.

*These items do come from a dog-friendly but smoke free home. Pets do not come into any contact with my items.

* I am not responsible for items lost by the post office. Once it is out of my hands, there is nothing I can do besides provide you with proof of shipping from my end. Please purchase insurance if you are concerned about loss.

*All sales are final! Ask all questions about condition BEFORE you buy!

*I do not accept returns for any item that was not defective or damaged in some way.

(Ask a million questions if you have to, I don't bite! I will answer them all to avoid any return attempts.)

Please note that these dolls are in varying stages of completeness. They may be missing an article or two of their clothes. I have tried to match them to their boxes as best I can, but I can not 100% guarantee on any of them that they have everything that they did originally. The ones with the higher prices are ones that I think have 90% or more completion in their outfits. But they are still very much priced to sell!

Punk Cat Girl Koron(missing her fishnet socks): $80

Bunch of Yo-SD wigs! $25 for all of them. The blue, white, orange, and light brown wigs are now gone, so lower price for the remaining ones!

I'm really open to offers as the goal is to get everything moving. If I don't reply to a PM within a day or two, it means I didn't get it! So feel free to comment here if that happens. If you need more pictures, have questions, if I missed something and need to be corrected, etc, always feel free to ask.

I know it's easy to feel bad about it, but tbh $18 isn't a bad price for the seller to have lost to learn a lesson. This WILL happen to them again if they don't change their ways of shipping. That method of shipping was bad even for within the US. I'm sure they were probably already damaged when they got to your proxy in Miami.

And don't believe her on the insurance claim thing either. USPS would have NEVER paid out the insurance for that. They too would've said it was the seller's bad packing that caused damage. Not them. Which is true in this case. I've seen WAY worse damage to items packed extremely well(smashed boxes, broken figures) and USPS will still claim they did nothing and that it's not their problem. It's very hard to actually get them to pay up when something IS their fault, but in this case it's not their fault anyway.

So I'd just take the refund and ignore them now at this point too. You did your best to be reasonable, and it would be okay to feel bad if they had worked with you or been nice to you...but all they did was ignore you and then say everything was somehow not their fault or was even your fault. They're not worth your sympathy in this case, that's bad customer service.

I hope you can find a way to make your ponies look nice again.

Odd one out here probably, but I think I'm actually just going to stick to Equestria Girls minis at this point. I really want the new reboot brushables and such...but I just can't justify buying all these characters over again to myself for some reason. And I say that as someone who has TWO other unrelated collections that are armies of one character each.

I recently put away 90% of my G4 collection, and haven't wanted to bother trying to sell since everyone else is sort of bailing out now too...figured it's not really even worth it. So they'll sit in a box in my closet until I figure out what to do with them.

I'm not interested in the previous gens in the slightest, so that means I'm sort of dropping out of pony for the most part. Got too many other hobbies in line in front of it. The reason why I'm sticking to the minis is because of the character variety and they sorta blend in with my anime figures like my nendoroids and whatnot. They just fit in better in my otherwise anime-centric collections.

So I'm in a weird spot...I AM still interested, just not in the mane 6 again for the 5 millionth time. Even if the molds and poses are different. It's just not tempting enough to be a priority to me anymore for the most part.
