Trader & Shipping Support / Shipping address on PayPal
« on: September 09, 2014, 10:21:29 AM »
It's not really a problem, I'm just curious. Why do I need to give the seller my address if I'm buying something that doesn't need to be shipped (i.e. downloads) or when I donate money to someone? Or they don't see that information and it's just in my log and receipt?
For example, on a receipt for a Steam game there is shipping address, but one time I downloaded music from bandcamp there wasn't any. Furthermore, one time I made a donation my address wasn't mentioned anywhere on the receipt, but the other time (donation to a different PayPal address) my address appeared on the receipt. It wasn't under "donation details" section, but below it, under "your unconfirmed address".
I searched through PayPal's help and FAQs, but I wasn't able to find any useful information.  :huh:

Off Topic / Work & Travel (cultural exchange)
« on: August 05, 2014, 01:13:24 PM »
Hey everyone!
Since I had no luck finding summer jobs in my own country, I'm considering Work & Travel. I'm not expecting to earn lots of money, though. I'm looking at it more as an experience. There are 3 agencies in my country (Croatia): CCUSA, Viking (not sure if that one is international or local) and another one which is really expensive and not really popular. I believe those are for US only, but I would be ok in any English-speaking country. German speaking countries are also an option.

Do you have any experiences with W&T? I have almost absolutely no idea about procedures and rules. I'm currently browsing through 120 pages on a froum where this topic is discussed and waiting to be accepted into a FB group.

Off Topic / Buying anime figurines from Crunchyroll?
« on: July 03, 2014, 03:44:33 AM »
Hey everyone!
So, I'm not even into anime figurines, but a few months ago I saw this fabolous Sasuke figurine on Crunchyroll and I just can't get it out of my mind :lol: These kind of figurines are really expenisve from my point of view, and there is shipping and import fees too. But since I have birthday money left, I thought I may just treat myself :)

Anyway, how does ordering from Crunchyroll work? It says that the figurine will be shipped from Megahouse, which is Japanese store if I'm correct? Is it better to order directly from Japan? Do you know any good EU-based stores of this kind? What about second-hand market?

Thanks! ^.^

Pony Corral / G2 cancer?
« on: March 08, 2014, 07:33:46 AM »
Do G2s get cancer? I don't see why not, but I've only seen pictures of G1s with it.
The thing is that I've found Princess Crystal locally for sale (never found an interesting pony here before!) who I really want and she's cheap, but I don't want a pony with an un-fixable flaw. The pics are a bit blurry, but two of them show a small, brown (or rust coloured) spot on her chest.

Pony Corral / How to unbox/decard properly?
« on: February 07, 2014, 02:01:35 AM »
I bought a playful size Sunset Shimmer the other day and, as I normally would with a G4, I opened her. I used a different method this time where I cut the bubble to make "hinge" and simply let her out. Of course, I'm going to keep the card, but since those bubbles can take up a lot more space than just cards, are they necessary to keep?

If I were to sell her some day, would the fact that there's bubble on the card increase her value?

How does this apply to other gens?

Is there a "right" way to open a pony? A way which will minimise the loss of value between MIB/MOC and mint with package?

Trader & Shipping Support / Package stuck at sorting facility?
« on: January 24, 2014, 03:23:29 PM »
I have a package coming from US to EU with tracking. Usually, it takes 3-4 days to arrive to my country and another week for local post service to deliver it. Now it's been stuck at "Processed Through Sort Facility" for 7 days. Is this normal? If not, should I contact the store (again)? I'm worried because I've already had slight problems with this order.
It's been shipped with USPS as "Priority Mail International Parcels", btw.

Off Topic / eBay humor
« on: January 08, 2014, 08:35:47 AM »
While I was looking at a pony listing on eBay, this song started to play  :lol:
I like the seller's sense of humor, it made my day :biggrin:

Did something similar happen to anyone else? :)

Since I don't buy online that often, this is the first time I can say I had problems.

I've ordered a cheap item from a Chinese seller on eBay. In the listing they stated they can offer faster shipping (which was important) if you send them a message. I sent them one before buying anything and there was no reply for over 2 days so I ordered the item with regular shipping.
 
They provided a tracking number which never worked. I've messaged them about it, but again, haven't gotten a reply.

The package arrived over a month after being shipped and had Singapore Post's sticker with my address over original sticker from Hong Kong which seller had (probably) put on.

The seller has good feedback, but they leave feedback to buyers "in bulk". For example, they left + feedback to 50 buyers on Feb 21st at 13:54 and nothing until + to 50 buyers on Aug 8th at 15:49. I've gotten + only a few days ago.

I wasn't satisfied with this seller at all, but the item has eventually arrived and it wasn't something expensive. I was thinking of giving them neutral. Is that okay? I'd like to know for future purchases if something similar happens again. Like, how bad are those mistakes this seller did.
And is their way of leaving feedback normal or common, since this is the first time I've came across it?

Wanted! / Elements of harmony mini pack set! (edit: got it)
« on: September 14, 2013, 05:08:14 PM »

Hello!
If anyone from the US (or other countries where it is available) can purchase Elements of harmony mini pack set for me (for a fee of course!) and ship it to me, please PM me. I'm looking for a price more affordable than eBay (well, shipping price to be exact, because they are as high as store price of the set (or more!) :( )

Off Topic / Quitting Facebook
« on: August 26, 2013, 05:49:06 AM »
I'm really proud to say that I'm finally getting rid of that thing! (well, sort of) I've been using it for years, since 2007 or '08, but with "fresh" profile every two years or so. I wanted to do it because I'm concerned about privacy, but I had to compromise since some of my friends refuse to communicate with me (and others) using anything else  :stressed:
It pisses me of, but there's nothing I can do. So I made a new profile, with fake name and nothing on it just for them, but I hope I'll get rid of that soon  :huh:

I'm currently deleting all the posts, tags and friends on my old profile manually (luckily there isn't much) because they tend too lurk on their servers long after you delete your account. I hope this will speed up the process. FB says before you permanently delete your acc, it'll take another 2 weeks to completely delete it (but not backups), but I heard some "horror stories" of people logging in after six months to check and their accounts were still there  :( I hope they mixed up deactivating and deleting.

What do you guys think of FB and what are your alternatives?
I'm using skype (not much better), a chat client called cryptocat, email (well, lavabit was closed recently so I lost my secure option) and (cell)phone.

Arts & Crafts Corral / Do I really need a ponysona?
« on: May 30, 2013, 02:03:23 AM »
Hey guys!
I've been trying do design a ponysona, but everything I came up with so far doesn't satisfy me. Usually, when I find a nice design I discover there are at least dozen like her, but when I tweak it a bit it looks like I ripped of a Hasbro character (I don't want do be accused for copying others' designs) :/ I have one design which is nice, but doesn't feel right. It's nice as a pony in general, but not as my ponysona (if you get me XD )
 
I've never had the need to design OCs of any kind for commercial franchises like MLP, Pokemon, Digimon, anime in general etc., but when I was younger I often made up many random creatures and their stories to play with, so imagination shouldn't be a problem.

Also, I wasn't bothered with ponysonas and OCs until my friend asked me if I had my "OC" because everyone had theirs, so maybe that's the main problem (hence the title). It seems that they are obligatory in the fandom, at least with bronies :shrug:

Trader & Shipping Support / MLP comic #3 preorder help!
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:36:55 AM »
I'm interested in MLP comic #3 variant from Hot Topic and I would pre-order it myself, but the shipping to my country costs over $40! Yes, over forty dollars for a $5 comic book! And they won't accept paypal from non-US buyers. I mean, what's the difference anyway? :shocked: Do you think these will pop up on ebay in more affordable options (I recently got #1 hastings variant from ebay really cheap) or can someone from Arena who lives in the US pre-order it for me for a fee and then ship it cheaper?
This is the comic, btw link

Pony Corral / Jung Typology Test: pony version!
« on: December 09, 2012, 06:31:42 AM »
This is a personality test which gives you a 4 letter code that represents your personality.
You can read more about it and take the test here

When you get your result check this table and see what pony from FiM you are most like.

I got INFP and I'm most like Luna! I'm satisfied with my result because think it's pretty accurate since the descriptions on both the original site and on the chart generally fit me and I like Luna  :P

I thought I could share it since it was fun for me  :biggrin:
What did you get? Do you think it's accurate? Write and vote on the poll  ;)
