Bonanza advertises no listing fees and says they only take a cut of 3.5%. Mercari takes 10%. I'm wondering how Bonanza can take so little and if there's any catch or hidden fees they're not mentioning?

So I love Mercari's Pay in 4 offerings. They enable me to get so much more than I could before. I do not like Zip's merchant fees adding $3 or $4 to the purchases, but I put up with it if I need to use Pay in 4. I like PayPal's even better because it doesn't add extra charges. I tried to purchase something with PayPal's Pay Later because it was listed as an option, but instead it charged me the full amount all at once. I couldn't do that, so I had to request a cancellation and explained why. It probably sounded really weird, as the price of the item wasn't that high and normally it wouldn't have been a problem to drop the whole amount at once, but right now it's not an option. But the seller agreed to the cancellation. They did not, however, actually respond to my messages. I don't know whether they think I'm a complete weirdo and they do not want me to repurchase the item with Zip as I said I'd do or if they figured I just would and that's why they didn't respond. I sent a message to ask if they still wanted to do business and haven't heard back. I don't know whether I should do nothing and keep waiting or go ahead with the repurchase using Zip. It could just be that it's the weekend, but it was the weekend yesterday and they let the cancellation go through while not responding then either.

What is the best site for selling? I know there have been some problems with eBay, and I think Mercari wants a huge cut of the profits? Which site between them or someplace else would be the best for a new seller who reaaaally can't afford losing a big chunk of money to the listing site for listing and selling fees?

I am so frustrated that most of the BAB Pokemon are online exclusives with mandatory clothes bundles. It's expensive, galling, and I really have no interest in clothing Pokemon, lol. But it's the only way to get most of them. So I'm wondering, if I got one, would I have any hope of re-selling the clothes on eBay or other sites to recover some of the money spent? I don't know if people ever buy the clothes when someone sells them separately.

So I badly want a doll of a favorite character, and I think I could customize a Disney Descendants Jay into what I want with little trouble. But ... it looks like the lowest priced dolls on eBay are disproportionate, bigger head and upper body than lower body. Is it just the camera angle, or is it true? Does anyone have a list of the Jay releases and/or know which ones are better proportioned, if some aren't?

I know this topic has been had before, but I never paid attention because I never wanted to buy a mismatch. But now the situation has come up, so I'm wondering exactly what causes the head and body of a Pony or figure or whatnot to be different colors? Is it a factory thing, or does it happen with age? If the head is much darker than the body, and it's definitely the head that's the wrong color, has the head aged badly and will deteriorate quicker?

Probably a long shot, but does anybody collect Soldiers of the World?! I really need to see them standing alongside some 12 inch G. I. Joes, to see if they're perfectly in scale with them. And I'm also trying to find out if the figure Korean War U.S.A. Radioman has hair under his helmet or if he's bald/balding. I'm considering him for a customization project, but it won't work if he doesn't have hair under there....

Has anyone done this? Or might know if it can be done? I hear it's flocking material, and of course a lot of us have experience with flocking.  I want to buy the G.I. Joe figure from the Challenge at Hawk River release and customize him into a favorite character, but I'm not sure whether to get the Caucasian with brown hair and paint his skin tan or get the African-American and try to lighten his hair.

So I'm wondering if Barbies are still solid plastic, because Mattel made their Disney dolls with hollow plastic, at least right before they lost the license. I wanted to get some of the Barbie characters, but I don't want to be unpleasantly surprised if they're hollow plastic. I was so disappointed when my Belle was.

Does anyone have any dolls Sega made for old anime series, Magic Knight Rayearth, Sakura Wars, anything? I wanted the MKR dolls, but I read a review of the Hikaru that she's made of hollow plastic and not much better than dollar store doll quality. Can anyone confirm this? I don't really want such a low quality doll, but I'm hoping it's an exaggeration... I've looked everywhere and can't find any other reviews about plastic quality.

Is anyone in or near New Jersey or Houston, Texas and has or plans to visit one of the new Toys R Uses? I've been watching all the video footage I can on both of them, but I'm still not sure if the videos show everything the stores have for sale. So happy they're there and wishing I could visit one, even though they're not the same as the old ones. I hope one will come to my area next year....

So I was on Toys R Us's/Target's websites and they have a G3 Applejack. Naturally, I thought it was a mistake. But as I kept going through the Pony figures, I found Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, all G3! They all say In Stock, for $9.99 each. Is this for real? Are they the same sizes as the original G3s? The Applejack one says "Mini," so I wondered if they were super small. For $10, I hope not!

I saw Troll dolls at Target that finally look more like the original Trolls again! They still have skin colors like purple and green, but otherwise, they have the designs of the Trolls I grew up with! They also have the gems in the tummies. I prefer the Trolls that cosplay as all kinds of different things, but I'm so excited to see anything resembling the old Trolls again!

I saw a Sailor Moon shirt tonight at Target! We were in a rush and now I'm not sure if it was in the Women's or the Girl's area, but the sizes ran big enough that it may have been Women's. It was white and the picture wasn't colored in. She was winking. It looked like the sleeves came down halfway. I wish I'd had more time to look at it, because I can't find it online anywhere and I'm trying to find out if it's a crop top. If it is, I wouldn't feel so bad about leaving it, lol. Has anyone else seen it?

So I have the old 5-6 inch Jazwares Megaman figure. His right leg broke at the knee, and upon inspection, it looks like the little peg thing broke off the rest of the joint mechanism and just came right out of the thigh and fell into the bottom part of the leg. I hear it rattling in there. It looks like I could fix it if I could find a peg thinner at one end than the other and in the right size. I imagine the same type of thing would work on figures from other lines and companies, so I'm wondering if anyone knows about fixing such problems with figures in general, if it can be done, etc.? (Or if someone actually has the Jazwares Megaman figures and the exact same problem that they solved, that would be even more awesome.) I really hate to resort to just gluing the leg back on, especially since glue never really seems to work very well on action figures, at least for me.
