So, I bought three ponies in an instagram sale last week.  Unfortunately, when they arrived I got the wrong lot of ponies.  I contacted the seller and the person who actually was supposed to receive the ponies I got.  Im thinking the packages were swapped, no big deal.

The seller was non apologetic over the issue.  I offered to ship the lot I received to the correct buyer if she reimbursed shipping.  I asked her to confirm with the original buyer that it was ok for me to do so, the seller agreed and insisted I send out the ponies by the 3rd of this month because she was going offline for personal reasons.
Today I message the seller and ask for an update, tomorrow is my only day off before the 3rd that I can get to the post office.  With no response she deletes her account 20 minutes later.

At least I am in touch with the other buyer, and hopefully she got my lot and we can swap.  However, we are both out shipping fees now that the seller is not available to refund.  My question is: Can we contact paypal to be reimbursed for shipping or request a partial refund or are we just out of the money?
What if the other buyer doesn't get my lot but someone elses?  Then what?


***edited to add the name of the seller as Rileycat or currently Rileycat 24

I have one I am willing to sell since it is a double.  I just wanted to see what they were worth, I never really collected the petite ponies and ended up with a ton of them.  Someone told me that these were toy fair exclusives and I wanted a little bit of knowledge before I sell the one.

I'm obsessed with this pony, she has been in lots going pretty high on ebay, I just want the pony.  I will take a Nightglider with minor flaws or haircuts.  I can re-hair and touch up symbols, no problem.

I came across these two lovelies in an antique store, the flocking on them is gorgeous!  I was so excited to get them.  I had been to that store numerous times and found nothing....then I did.

I love the oven bags, I did not cook these ponies.

Ever since I started collecting (G1), it's been rough finding ponies in the wild. I have a ton of places I go, but don't often find ponies, and when I do its G3-G4.
So yesterday, I decide to check out a mom2mom consignment event. These are traveling events where it's all kids stuff meant for moms to sell to each other.


Anyway, I get in there and the line is wrapped around the whole place just to check out. I think all the good stuff is gone but decided to peek anyway. B-line for the toys!  I circle the shelves looking for anything pony....it's crowded and hard to maneuver and pick. I'm like a vulture circling the three toy shelves. I look down and no! No, it can't be....and there it was, a baby bonnet school of dance. I snatched it up and put it in my bag without hardly looking at it. I'm in shock, my adrenaline is pumping!!!
Another loop around...hmm
..fakies...no. I snatch up several small bags of G-3 and G4 and a big G4 Princess thing that talks. I never leave ponies behind, It's my picking creed. Another swoop and I glance under a shelf to see a large shoe....no, it can't be....yes!!!! Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe!!!! Oh and I have scooops, she has her apron still! SCORE!!!!! I squeal with delight as I put it in my bag! I feel lucky, I feel like.....Finally! I win!
After a few more rounds, the shelves become bare, I circle the whole sale looking in boxes, under racks of clothes and on various non-toy tables. Pick up a G3 lunchbox and get in line, no ponies (only fakies) were left behind.  I go to checkout and realized I was so excited....I didn't check prices! Nervously I peek at my treasure and see nothing is marked over 5.00. I exhale and pay for my treasures. visitors can't see pics , please register or login

So I got this baity FF Butterscotch and really had a vision to restore her and customize her hair.  I wanted to stay true to Butterscotch while adding a little flair to her.

Here is her before photo, cut hair and faded symbols

I really loved how she turned out!  She was a lot of work and I am new at fixing up ponies so I am pretty proud of her.

Hi, I'm new, obviously. I just started rebuilding my childhood collection of MLP. When I was away in the Navy,my grandma sold all of my toys at a yard sale. I finally decided that now is the time.

My other interests include pet rats, sewing, and animal rescue. I also start medical school in May. I'm a big science geek, especially biology.
