My ebay curse. Now I'M going to demand cheer me up pictures!

[Sabrina]

I hate asking questions and getting the whole 'i don't understand your question' back. I'm probably a really annoying ebayer too because if I see a pony listed under the wrong name I send the seller a message to tell them the right name. And when I see ponies and the seller says they don't know the names of them I tell them the names. I'm just trying to be helpful but I'm sure I annoy them.

I can stare at ebay for hours, it bothers me when I lose a bid on a pony that i really really really want.

He he! I do that too!

I feel your pain Marlin. I just missed out on Rapunzel for the second time. 
I'm just glad I have some donuts to help with the disappointment! Might need some pizza too.... it still hurts.....

I don't have any photos, but just two days ago, I was in a bidding war with someone over a lot of 4 ponies. It was my grail, the pink Eyelash Princess in it. >.>

I lost by 50 cents, if that much. I couldn't get my bid up in time. I was so mad.

But then Himmie stepped in on here and traded me the pink Eyelash Princess.
So, grails complete! <3 adore Himmie.

Stock image because she hasn't arrived yet, but I recently won Nightmare Moon for less than £10 The only way I ever bid on ebay is to think of what I want my maximum bid to be, then snipe it. Otherwise I'm going to leave time for another user to get in a bid war with me, and I would always lose because I'm poor at the moment xD I never bid when there's more than 6 seconds to go. Of course, I still lose when someone else has already put in their maximum bid and it's higher than mine, but I was not prepared to pay more than them before, and by not leaving myself the time to bid again I make sure I don't keep bidding to win and overpaying.

Adorable rats, Ravengusty!

I just lost an ebay auction for this girl.

tried to bid and ebay suddenly decided I needed to log in again. By the time everything reloaded the action was over...
But the pony went for TWICE as much as I was going to bid anyway.
There must have been a heap of bidding in the last few seconds! She went from $30 to over $130.

Ok, finally. Here´s my best Ebaystory that happend a while back:
I had been looking at this lot that didn´t ship abroad, but I couldn´t stop watching it. I mailed the seller asking her if she could consider shipping to Sweden, but I never got an answer. When it was less than an hour left I realized that I could ask for help at the Arena...! So I did and Partypony offered to help me! But at the same time the seller replied, and she told me she could ship to Sweden but that because people were already bidding she couldn´t change the settings and she didn´t know how to add my ID to the biddinglist. Right now there is like 10 minutes left of the auction. I search Ebay for instructions and ends up in a chat-conversation with their support. (I have never gotten help at the Arena before, so I was a bit stressed about the whole thing with just a few minutes left and don´t knowing the right procedure. So I really wanted to bid by myself.) When it is 4 minutes left of the auction I manage to copy-paste the intructions and send them to the seller and she adds me to the list of bidders. AND I WIN THE AUCTION!
I have never had so much adrenaline in my body before in my whole life! And the lot had like 4 of my grails!

So sorry that happened to you. I'm sure the ponies you're looking for will turn up some way, some how. It happened to me...

I saw this girl on ebay last fall going for ~8 dollars with free shipping; I was stupid and didn't buy her when I had the chance. So, I ended up scouring listings for the next six months trying to find one with a reasonable price, as she quickly went up to 40 dollars on BINs and higher on auctions. I was especially worried when I heard she was an international release, since the last thing I wanted to do was jump through hoops to get her shipped to me. Luckily, I found a 15 dollar listing in March and bought her the second I saw her. So keep looking, I'm sure your ponies will come around eventually.

yay! I'm glad some ebay stories turn out okay.

(I can't remember what I put in my previous post to have it altered/deleted. Sorry if I did something wrong.)

With ebay in general i have this curse where if i bid too far away from the end date the price ROCKETS with other bidders but if i snipe at the last minute i can get things at their low price. it;s annoying that i cant just bid and leave it anymore. but there is always some fun in sniping.

[achab1984]

I have lost so many ponies auctions by just a few cents!!! I hate it and would get very upset about it a while back. But now I just put in my max bid. And if I get out bided then it was not to me. Sorry to hear that your not having much luck on there.

I see a lot of ponies on there that are very pretty!
