I must say I got an amazing gingerbread a few months back on ebay, she is pretty much minty as can be and even had her original ribbon and I won her for 3 pounds. I think Hathorcat is right in what she said, for each $45 baity cherry jubilee, there is a good deal to be found aswell.. Goodluck finding your dream Gingy, I'm sure she will come up soon! xx
I just watched a MOC Cherries Jubilee go for $350 o.O But the deals are out there;) I snagged a pearly baby Surprise for $6 and someone got a mint tux for $7 from the same seller:) I'm just sick of sellers posting one photo and say look at photo for description...you take a chance and of course there's huge flaws, hair cuts, or the ponies face is almost bitten in half. Or you get a pony who's hair was covering one eye in said photo that shows up with a huge rub...was offered to have it touched up since they were a customizer though...I'm sorry but sellers lately have gotten seriously lazy. As for the fees it is 10% but if you charge shipping they hit you with a 10% fee on that and then the paypal fee so if you offer free shipping it probably is closer to 25% by the time you've paid the shipping:/ Hence why I always have a huge booth at pony fair. I will wait all year with my extras just to avoid selling on ebay because everything I would have lost in fees pretty much evens out to my event costs and I got to enjoy the experience:)

I do the same when selling my ponies, I give as good a description I can without getting a fine tooth comb and give HD photos so people can make their own minds up, that way my back is covered. It's hard for buyers and sellers though, but I feel like my last few sales worked perfectly with that method, so I can't complain, my buyers were happy, that's what counts!
I fully agree, if your photos show the damage that's totally fine or you attempt to mention a flaw, that's fine to say the photo is part of the description. I'm talking about mainly the ebay mobil sellers that shoot a bad photo with a one or two liner description or they do take a bunch of photos with the flaws hidden just so they don't show and the description only says "see photos for description." I've gotten some very misleading auctions lately that's all:/
I've had a mixed experience on eBay. I've picked up one or two bargains, but paid more than I'd have liked for a couple of items, and today I came across someone selling a job lot of 17 G1 ponies for £250. If the ponies were all rare and in mint condition I might understand, but most of them are fairly widely available ones that from the photos have been played with quite a bit. Knock a 0 off that figure and I might think about it.
eBay sellers think 'vintage' means 'rare'
