Hello!  Not sure if this is the place to look for help with this, but I need a PC on:

Fairy Tail Birds:
-minty Twilight Tails
-VG Cloud Puff Tails

Also, I have two paperback Strawberry Shortcake 'Apricot and Hops-a-lot' books with records.  You should be able to see the pictures under my albums here:

Thanks so much!

Good morning, ponies,

So I shipped some items to China on August 26 via airmail.  I received notice today from Paypal that my buyer has opened a Paypal dispute over payment on the basis of parcel not received.  I then scrolled back through my messages, and realized she sent me a short message a week ago about it that I hadn't responded to.

It's totally my fault that I didn't respond to the message. 

I am a Respiratory Therapy student with med school aspirations.  In concrete terms, this means I get up at 4:45 AM every day, bike 8 km to the hospital regardless of weather (and I live in Canada), and work an 8-12 hour shift.  On the days when I get out early, and weekends, I bike another 8 km across town to the local college to work on the emergency response team and with the local Humane Society.  I get most of my messaging done in between waiting for emergency calls to come in, and studying. 

This is no excuse for failing to read my messages more carefully, but I hope it does put it in context.  I rather wish the buyer had sent me another message before escalating it to a Paypal dispute, but oh well.  In the interim, I can only hope she responds positively to the message I sent her. 

Beyond this?  I asked one of my Chinese friends about the address the buyer provided me, and he suggested that it might be missing a postal code.  Do Chinese addresses have postal codes?  Or is there anyway I can send proof directly through Paypal of thetran saction where I paid for shipping to her address?  Additionally, if you know anything about filing lost item claims with Canada post, it would be helpful.  I'll be out $50 in goods and postage if the parcel doesn't miraculously appear.  The buyer does seem to be quite experienced and has lots of positive reviews, so I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding. 

Thanks!

Good morning, ponies...

So I sent out a parcel on May 14th by surface mail to one of my buyers, and it still hasn't gotten to her yet.  We're both pretty concerned at this point, since according to CanadaPost, surface mail is supposed to take 4-6 weeks (I'm not sure if that means 28-42 business days, or literally 4-6 weeks...). 

If anyone has any advice on how long it should take, or how to find out from the postal system where the parcel might be at, how to get the money back from the postage system, or anything vaguely related to this, please let me know.  The buyer seems rather new at this--she sent me payment in the wrong currency at first, and confesses that she's had some difficulty recently in getting packages delivered from international locations--and I'd really like to help ensure she doesn't have these difficulties in the future.

Thanks, ponies!

There are very few things that unsettle me, but yard sales bloopers are one of them...

1.  People who leave up their signs so that you bike five km down a street only to discover and empty driveway 

2.  People who set up signs ALL over the city, without arrows... so that you go down a street assuming the yard sale is there, only to realize that it's 15 km away.  In the opposite direction.  Umm... you do realize people don't have googlemap implanted in their brains yet, yah?

3.  People who maliciously set up yard sale signs that lead to dead ends in the middle of corn fields.
  I grew up in the yard sale capital of Ontario    It happens.

What are your yard sale pet peeves?

So this has less to do with ponies and more to do with ninjas, but I found this article kinda cool:

Reminds me of the Big Bang Theory episode where Raj and Howard decided to buy a 3d printer...

Hello!

So, the flat sheet seems to go for around $10-20 ish on Ebay, but I'm not sure about the hurricane lamp.  It doesn't seem to come up very often, so I'm not really sure what appropriate pricing is.

You can see them here:

Any ideas, guys?

Come on... anyone?

So, a couple of my purchasers have contacted me that their parcels haven't arrived yet, and while the 4-6 weeks predicted for postage to get to Europe has not yet elapsed, I'm still concerned that they might be delayed somehow.  Additionally, the tracking shows them as stranded in Mississauga and classified as 'International Letter Mail'.

If anyone has heard anything about any delays, please let me know.  Thanks!

So... I'm a G1 Purist, with a capital P.  I hate passing up on G1s, I hate seeing G1s that are damaged, and although taken aback by the beauty of some of the customs produced by our artists, I do admit I prefer those that don't use G1s as a base.

To try to prevent Cancer Ward ponies from being a problem, I likely spend more time on them than I do most of my ponies.  They all go through bleach baths and boilings.  Still, no one seems interested in buying Cancer ponies, outside of customs... and it seems a shame to customize a pony that would be perfectly mint, except for cancer.

So... what do you do with your cancer ward?
