Oh my!  I would be livid if I had received that.  I hope you get a resolution soon, that is completely unacceptable.

People are so dumb. That's the only thing I can say to explain sellers like that. -_-

They're just asking for trouble. They have to know that IS going to happen and the buyer IS going to be upset 99.9% of the time... right? I don't get it at all. Maybe they think all the people who handle it move it gingerly and it's separated from all the rest and is driven safely to its destination. Instead of like going on conveyor belts and possibly getting crushed by other bigger ones plus being thrown about mishandled by carriers, stacked, etc. Smh.

I am so sorry to see that.. it must be so upsetting and irritating. A MIB pony now ruined because someone was lazy.

The worst I ever had was a nail polish bottle sent in an envelope, paper. no padding. you can guess what happened there.

Nothing compared to poor romper, just package properly. its what is expected and reasonable.

 Cheapest Way to send it, They just sent it to you on the cheap with no protection , they paid  5 dllrs for that service :(
If you paid them more than 5 dllrs, I would ask a refund as well on the shipping .
I have received a couple of Moc ponies like that too .
Now I send them a note when I check out , I request for them to pack them well and ensure it is in a box and  no envelopes because the actual box or bubble of the pony is important for collectors like me .

With this note every time I warn them I expect the box and pony  to be protected .
some people assume that you are going to open the pony and dispose of the box , so I make it clear I intend to keep it in their box.

I bought Tossles from the same seller; same thing happened.  :(  I also sent a message but haven't heard back yet.
Nirvana grails:  Reverse Gusty (upgrade), Peru Windy and Moonstone (upgrade), Brazil TAF upgrades, Argie Powder w/ white hair (upgrade), French Windy and Moondancer (upgrades), Spain TAF's, TE's, and piggies.  These are my biggest wants, but I'm looking for tons more nirvanas, especially Greeks, Brazilians, and Peruvians.  Feel free to PM me for sales or trades.  But please note that I'm also fairly picky.

Oh I'm soo sorry Kellyponyfeathers - I was worried that was going to happen too...

It's been 24 hrs since I sent the msg with the pictures. No response yet. How long should I wait before I open a case with eBay?

What a terrible seller-  I had the same experience once (with a vintage doll).  It has taught me that whenever I buy a MIB vintage item, make it VERY VERY clear that you value the packaging, you are buying it FOR the packaging intact, and so please package carefully with bubble wrap in a protective box, thanks...

It is shocking that this wouldn't be obvious.

Not to make matters worse. But did the seller cut off the top or did the seller fold the top over?

They folded the top over to make it fit in the envelope. Still no response from the seller.

I got a partial refund. They didn't msg me saying that they were refunding me so I didn't notice until after I opened a case - so I closed the case immediately.

I ended up opening her. I know *dodges fakies from MIB collectors*

you can watch me doing it here

I started watching your video... and was thinking ok ok, she is just going to open her up.. refold what needs to be and fold the box back into shape...

I heard the dreaded words, I'm going to very carefully remove her from the card now.. and I had to turn it off... it was like watching a horror film :) hahaha

Sorry, don't want to shame you.. Its your pony after all, so you can do what like with it. I've just never seen someone remove a mint pony from its packaging before, Im surprised at how deeply that disturbed me lol.
