I rarely post on these boards, I prefer to lurk when I'm not selling or buying (I'm shy) but I'm physically shaking and upset at what has happened... a certain member of the MLP community has begun slandering me so, I want you all to know what happened. All correspondences are below, I have nothing to hide.

TL;DR
Bought Princess Pony with accessories from a seller on eBay. Some accessories she sent me were wrong. When I told her she sent me several abusive, threatening and harassing messages. When I showed her photographs she told me not to contact her again and started slandering me in a private MLP Facebook group. Another buyer of hers came forwards, it turned out we had each others missing pieces and we did a swap. Seller admitted she had sent the wrong accessories on Facebook BUT still refuses to apologize or acknowledge that she did anything wrong to me, has refused to fix anything and three months later continues to slander me and spread lies while playing the victim.

FINAL UPDATE: I opened - and most importantly WON - a Paypal dispute against the seller which ended in the Paypal Fraud Department because the seller was caught out lying to Paypal and impersonated me in a forged email. I've decided to blog about it here: http://eaglesfan73sucks.blogspot.com.au/ Please be aware this seller is highly unscrupulous!
 

Long Version:
I bought a Princess Royal Blue with damsel hat, comb and wand (eBay item number: 181963158310, archive link https://archive.is/FpmkR). I was so excited because these are the last items I need to complete my Year One Princess set.

The seller was selling a bunch of other items I wanted over the holiday week, so I asked if the seller wanted me to pay now or wait to see if I buy any more to combine shipping. I gave the option of paying now if they wanted and was given no timeframe on how long they were willing to wait for payment.

They indicated it was okay, so I bid on other ponies they were selling and unfortunately lost them all, so I paid immediately after the last auction ended.

So now she arrived this morning and the damsel hat and comb are wrong. The hat is meant to be stars and moons, instead I received hearts and teardrops. Instead of a pink comb, I got purple. Thankfully the pony and wand were correct (though I wasn't sure about the wand at the start because it didn't come in a bag while the one in the photo does).

And while waiting for a bus, I noticed a postage overcharge and sent this:

I've been buying and selling on eBay since before Paypal in the 90s, when we had to use international money orders or eEscrow. I have thousands more feedback than the seller, all of them 100% positive. I'm thinking cutting my losses, reporting them to eBay and leaving a negative (which I absolutely hate doing and rarely ever do).

Just wanted everyone to know my side since this seller is calling me a scammer. 

Not sure what to do... anyone?

04-Mar-2016: I cleared out my photobucket so I had to re-attach all the images. I thought I might as well tidy them up so they look in unison and blank out additional sections for privacy reasons. Also added a TL;DR section.

Thanks everyone who placed a bid and congrats to those who nabbed something sweet!
 

A Warm Greetings & Salutations Everypony,

Some of you may know me from eBay, some may know me from the Arena, and others may not know me at all. I'm rather shy and generally try to keep to myself (think: FiM Fluttershy). I was once a big part of a (completely different) BB in the mid 90s, but alas I got burned so as a personal rule I don't post very much. If anyone asks me a question though, I will do my best to respond asap, I'm actually really friendly, quirky and fun once I get over my painfully shy nature. I really do love the Arena and have learned so much wisdom from browsing posts and bathing in the wealth of information fellow collectors generously share. I'm honored to be a part of this online community.

Let's Get Personal Personal:

Sure thing, Oprah... bring it on...

How old are you? 30 (gah! how did this happen?)

Where do you live? State/Country? Australia, Queensland, the state of natural disasters

Do you work or attend school? Profession or major? Currently a starving artist / free spirit

Who are the important people in your life? My parents, friends, hunny bunny and anyone who marches to their own drum, whether I have met you or not, you are an inspiration

Let's Talk About Ponies:

Why thank you, Oprah...

How long have you been collecting? Since 1987, through the early days of eBay when there was no Paypal and you had to send money orders across the globe through the dodgy mail system for an overpriced common pony with tail rust... my humble beginnings. And then there was the Arena

Which generations of ponies do you collect? All of them muhahaha! However my heart is with the G1's, that's what I grew up with.

What made you want to collect ponies? I saw some David Copperfield TV special (or something similar) and thought magicians were cool. So one day I saw Magic Message Magic Hat at my local toy store in the 80s, her symbol was *ultra magical* to my mind at the time, so I bought her! Somehow I acquired a Bow Tie a week later from a yard sale, and the rest is history. However since the only ponies I owned were in what's known as the "shy pose", as a child I was shocked to learn that they come in different poses LOL.

Tell us about your collection! Being humble and not mentioning numbers, I have a a vast collection of G1's, a handful of G2's, a large collection of G3's and now the G4's have bewitched me. My favorite pony of all generations is probably Shoreline (Sunshine Pony), however the smell from Candy Cane/Sweetberry ponies takes me straight back to being a kid in the 80s. I also try to track down the original brush, comb & ribbon to most of my G1 ponies - it's not as easy as I thought it would be LOL.

I also collect many other toys: Strawberry Shortcake (all generations); Care Bears; Glo Friends; She-Ra - Princess of Power; Popcorn Pretties; Cupcakes; Lady Lovely Locks; Cutie Club; Kidgetts; Jem; Wish World Kids; Moondreamers; G1 Polly Pocket; Winx Club; Hollywoods (Tonka); Zoobles; My Scene & Pink Box Barbie (1980s-2004). I also customize dolls and restore My Little Ponies with bad haircuts. My toy collection is huge but currently resides in large boxes until I manifest a dedicated toy room in my life *I wish* *I wish*

Oh yes, I'm a brony too!

So if you've lasted this long, thanks for reading and may good fortune reward you for your time.

~ Peace ~
Cirrus Rose
