I have a nice pony friend Oakley I've been trying to sell for a couple of weeks now with no luck. I listed him for a buy it now that is cheaper than what the others I've seen for on ebay with no luck. I was hoping to sale to someone in US to save the hassle of shipping overseas, but wondering if I should offer worldwide just to get him moving. I had him listed at $100 buy it now on ebay. One sold for $125 with brush. Maybe I could add one to increase interest? Any ideas? I thought as it's nearing tax return time he would sale.

I bought a couple of non pony items off ebay, both under $20, and the tracking on both hasn't been updated since the 7th, 10 days ago! It arrived in my state and is sitting at "departed USPS destination facility 12-7-16". They're both past the expected delivery date on ebay at this point. I'm not really worried since it is the Holidays and mail can be backed up this time of year, but is there anything I need to do or anyone had a similar situation with packages being delayed?

As the title says, how many different pony pal fakies are there? I have seen several wooly's and leafy's in different colors. Is there a guide on them? I find them the most intriguing of the pony fakies. I'd love to collect each one!

Hope it's ok to post this rant here since it does pertain to trading advice. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has dealt with hassles in trying to get items to overseas buyers. I don't mind helping fellow collectors across the pond and know offering this option increases profits, but just getting the stuff sent off is becoming more trouble than it's worth.
Today I go to ship a package and fill out the form. New forms that require a barcode so mailing it at the other town PO where they are still in the stone age computer wise, I knew was out of the question. Of course the postal clerk at my local PO has to enter said info into computer which can take a while. Well there is one customer behind me that is doing something that won't take much time so the clerk ask if he can go ahead of me and I agree as I was going to offer him to go first anyway. While clerk is trying to get first customer situated, in walks another person so instead of cutting in front, I have to let her go. Then here comes two more customers who of course need to be waited on. The other postal clerk is in the back, but doesn't bother coming up to open the other register to deal with the influx of people coming in so I could go ahead and get this guy to key in my info.
I don't usually deal with our local PO when shipping overseas because the lady clerk there always huffs and complains she has to key in the info. Well, if you don't like your job, give it to me! I'll take the benefits and pension package. It wasn't so much the waiting, but my brother had to go to work and he was sitting out in the car waiting for me to get done so I had no choice but to take the package back home. I just want to mail this package so the customer will get their item and not complain it was mailed late. How do other US sellers deal with mailing internationally? What problems do you encounter?

I have a new question: a buyer from Korea won two of my auctions and wants me to send to US zip code for combining shipping. They use a US agent. This address is on ebay as the ship to address so I assume it will be the same in paypal once they have paid me. Has anyone else who sells through ebay done shipping like this? I notice many international buyers use a US box for cheaper shipping.
I sold a lot on ebay and soon got a message from the winner saying they had bought another lot that they thought was mine as well to save on combined shipping and asked if I could just offer to the second bidder. I messaged I understood as I know mistakes happen but do I have to get an okay from ebay first or can I go ahead and offer to next bidder? I haven't offered a second chance offer in years. I'm also kind of worried the second buyer may think it's shill bidding if I offer so quickly.

I'm trying to contact an ebay seller about the where a bouts of an item I purchased, but ebay keeps taking me back to the list of questions page. I don't know if they have modified it or what, but I thought there was an option that let you send a message if you couldn't find the answer you were looking for. I was just going to check to see if the item had been shipped and for tracking since today was the last arrival day estimated by ebay. There is no tracking to check to see what's up. It was paid on the 25th and coming from PA to NC. I'm not really freaking out yet since I know mail can be slow, but the fact I can't seem to ask a question because of ebay's wonderful system. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
Edit: Digging through the sellers feedback and found some negatives where others complained of slow shipping/not receiving items over the years. Worst case I just open a claim, but I wanted to message the seller first and at least give them a chance to answer.

I'm trying to match a few combs up with my 7 tales ponies and can't find any photos of what comb goes with who so any photos of the brushes and combs and who they came with would be nice. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for the following G2' ponies in good condition. They can be dirty with messy hair and missing one or both eye gems. I only ask they have little to no symbol rubs and no missing, cut hair. Accessories not a big want, but will take combs if they still have them. Due to the rarity and cost of probably having them shipped from Euro collectors I can only purchase a few at a time or I can also trade G1's if you have a want list and I'll see if I have that pony. Ones with *** are a top priority.

I have accumulated a good deal of g1 ponies that I consider custom bait (marker, missing horns, no symbols, etc.) It's about 70 ponies. I was going to put a group shot up and offer them for a few bucks a piece, but I've tried that in the past and end up stuck with the same common ponies. I'm thinking about listing them on ebay as a lot with a $100 starting bid and see where it goes from there. I currently only want to deal with US shipping since it would be a huge box to ship, but know I could get more if I offered international. Thought about splitting into two lots, but if the same person wins both auctions it would be the same issue. Problem with offering international is it's so complicating to get tracking on international shipping without charging the buyer a huge fee to ensure it gets to them. I worry about another chargeback for non receipt of items. Any tips on how best to sale them? I also have a price limit on selling on ebay. Any idea how to get that lifted? I don't like to sell much on there due to the fees, but I kind of need to get rid of a bunch of ponies and could use the money for other stuff I want. I like to offer free shipping to attract more buyers and just include it in the start price so I don't lose too much if only one person bids. I don't sell much so I don't want to shell out tons of money for a shipping scale, but it's hard to get a quote for shipping if you don't know where that winner is going to be from. How do others get around this?

So I recently bought a MIB egg off ebay since I like El Greco stuff and they made ponies in Greece. I decided to search the board for what else they were used for and found this thread http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,355742.0.html which pretty much answered my questions. I feel kind of dumb now as I think I bought an expensive giant easter egg that held a doll more than a pony at some point, but figured if I run across a deal on a Ladybird, I could still use it and place her in it for display. Even if she came in a different colored textured egg. Ether way, could the egg still be used for keeping a pony in? Did any other Greek ponies come sold with this color egg? It will be interesting to see once I get it in hand.
