Update: PinkiePony reached out to me and sent me compensation via PayPal (more than I expected, which was very kind).
I've requested to have the original feedback comment I left for PinkiePony removed/edited to reflect that she made everything right in the end.
I was involved in a trade with PinkiePony two months ago.
Her communication was terrible. About a month later, she finally gave me a story to explain why I never got my end of the trade. I had already left a negative feedback, but told her that, once I received my item, I would request to have it taken down. She had promised that she'd have her end of the trade mailed to me. I suspected that she didn't actually have the item she was supposed to send me, so I gave her the option of sending me $2.50 via PayPal (which is, I think, extremely generous: $0.65 for a G3 plushie bookmark and $1.85 to cover the postage and envelope).
That was a month ago.
Still nothing.
Now it's been brought to my attention that she's sending out "free give-a-ways" from her website?!

I had every intention of just walking away, but...really? PinkiePony can't make good on something she essentially STOLE from me? Yet she can give away free items to promote her pony blog? :argh:

Hi Spiffy :) I am sorry you had a bad experience. I am curious though did this take place here or on the TP? While I completely understand the frustration, I want to make sure it is something that took place on this board. If it was can you please contact Ringlets or I for further assistance.
-
It was a little of both: it originated at the TP, but then we carried on our PM's here due to her inability to access the TP from her phone/school computer.
-
Aw, that really sucks that she'd not follow through on a trade like that :huh: It's not like it's even that much money to make things right - if she's doing giveaways, she should be able to send you a refund at least. :|
Maybe she'll see this and make things right!
-
Yeek! Hopefully one of those packages is yours...

I don't understand people sometimes!
Looks like she is MIA from the TP Halloween Swap too

Seriously, this is not good when people enter trades, offer items for sale or sign up for a swap and just do nothing. It hurts me for the other people involved. Its just not that difficult to contact someone if you are in a crisis and its not that hard to send a refund when you make a mistake. Sometimes mistakes like these are far reaching. They don't always affect the person that is to receive a swap box but several other people that put money, time and effort into correct a mistake that wasn't even theirs. I really hope all of this gets resolved. :huh:
-
Oh my goodness that is agravaiting. Sorry that happened to you but thanks for the heads up.
-
Yikes- good to know!
-
Very sorry to hear about that :hug: I hope she communicates or sends your items soon. It seems doubtful though :(
-
This doesnt sound good at all :( She didnt send her end of at least two trades (so one was partly TP and partly here and the other was TP, right? ) and yet she is offering to give free items to people as well? something sounds very off. Thank you for letting us know what happened.

Makes me wonder...maybe she participates in trades to steal items, and do giveaways with those stolen items?

Currently working things out with Pinkie
-
Glad to hear, I was upset at hearing there were any issues between PinkiePony and anyone else, I've met her and traded with her a few times and never had issues, I'm very glad you have resolved it! :hug:
-
Thanks for the update! Hopefully there will not be anymore issues.
-
Happy to hear that you and PinkiePony were able to work things out :)
-
I'm glad she gave you a refund and you both worked things out now . Thanks for the update :bigups:
-
I'm glad the issue has been resolved. If you edit your feedback I hope you will still include the relevant details as this obviously was not a smooth positive transaction.
-
I am pleased this was resolved.

Hmm, wow...it seems like someone got the wrong idea from my earlier post here. You only have to read my other posts to realize that slinging snarky personal mud around is NOT my thing on this forum! So I'll just replace it with a TL;DR: situation sucks, don't leave positive feedback for a person who's been banned for scamming and bad behaviour, especially since she only made good when confronted about her dishonesty.
EDIT 12/12/13 after a long grouchy-making road trip (Re: mod note below): I think the post-deleting thing right off the bat makes no sense unless the mods save a copy of the deleted message that can be partially or wholly restored, because sometimes it turns out to be a misunderstanding or a false grudge-reporting. Some of those now-lost posts have had good advice aside from their suspected rule-breaking content. But whatevs, how I run my forums are not how everyone else has to do theirs. (And NOW I can be accused of being snarky. I'm tired from a long drive, I'm grumpy, and I'm being reminded of why I've been a member of this site so long, but very rarely post here. Not attacking you, PL, since you're just doing the job you were assigned, BTW. I'm grouching at site policies I don't agree with--I may abide by them as long as I remember them, but doesn't mean I have to agree with them.)
Please refrain from removing a Moderators note in the future. Your comments, however they were intended were reported to the staff here, thus the removal of your post. PL
P.S. Y'all, lookit the dumbhead on me for forgetting about mod notes and hitting CTRL+A to make my initial edit in November. I'm too used to the only words in my posts being my own and entirely editable. Okay, time to go unpack.

Glad to hear that all has been resolved!

Looks like she is MIA from the TP Halloween Swap too
She completely bailed on the Halloween Swap at the TP ($35 swap!), leaving the mod in charge of it to scramble to make things up to the person she was assigned to. She has been banned from doing any transactions at the TP, per the other thread about her on the trader support section, where she bailed on a few other private swaps.
I wanted to give her a chance when I met her at the Fair this past July, but she's turning out to be a bad egg.
Edit: She's been completely banned from the TP, according to her profile.
