Thank you all so much!

I got an e-mail from her saying she had refunded me, and an e-mail from paypal saying that the dispute was closed, so even though the money hasn't shown up on my paypal, I'm hoping that means that the refund will be there in a few days.

  Did the email from Paypal say anything about a pending refund or just that the dispute had been closed?

  IceCrystalline, have you actually received your refund or just an agreement to refund?

  I wore them out today (AJ and FS) and yes they are heavy, but they didn't bother me; I've worn heavier, too. I really loved wearing them. They were heavy enough so that I was always conscience of the fact that I had ponies hanging from my ears but not so heavy that they hurt or bothered me. Still, not for all-day wear, but perfect for an outing!!

  Thanks for posting, everypony!!

I have nine piercings in my ear, that means three ponies per ear and a couple of holes left over

  LOL Now that I'd have to see pics of!!!

Wow. That's a pretty poor packing job for what you paid in shipping costs! I would be livid about that alone.

  I agree with ponylady, that I would keep it polite and factual. But, I wouldn't even mention being excited about the purchase; keep it neutral and just about the item and the fact that you feel that you over-paid for what you received. Depending on the situation I may or may not directly ask for a partial refund or simply give them the opportunity to offer me one. When I've gotten a great deal and I feel like I did get what I paid for I won't bother asking directly. It is actually your responsibility as a buyer to ask for descriptions and flaws. It's pretty crooked when people photograph stuff like this, but you may get the response, "You didn't ask" and nothing more, regardless. Let's hope you have a decent seller on your hands. Based on his feedback I think you have a good chance that they will be willing to work with you.

In this situation I would ask them directly and politely for a refund on the shipping difference. And I might would also add something about adding extra padding for items like this in the future; a friendly FYI from a collector to a seller.

  Hope this helps! Let us know how it goes!! Good luck!

Mmmm... none of you seem to realize who has the real power. 
You should all be sucking up to Loa.

QFT!!!

Thanks, everypony!!

  As some of you may already know, it's thanks to 'Mattman' AKA Mr. Cherry, that we now have a fantastic new pony home here at the new MLP Arena! We have had several members ask us how they could show their appreciation for all the incredible hard work and the huge amounts of time that he put into the site. So, I decided to create a custom to offer to the public and BridgetsMum graciously agreed to let me use the MLP Arena Mascot! visitors can't see pics , please register or login
 
 
   After discussing it with Mattman I've decided rather than send her off to eBay, I'd have a raffle for her here! Less hassle and More people get a chance to win! 
 
Tickets are $1 each. Please send your paypal payments to custompony @ gmail.com
Be extra sure to include your Arena name with your payment.
Please, be extra, extra sure that you do NOT include the word 'raffle' in your paypal payment anywhere!
Depending on how high the total gets I may throw in a couple more custom prizes!

I will be updating this thread with new entries at least once daily or as they come in. The raffle will end Feb 18th 2012 at 12:00 midnight EST. Thank you, Everypony for showing your appreciation!!

Update 9 Feb!!!!

      I have decided to add another prize; we will now have Two winners!! First winner drawn will win the lovely MLP Arena Mascot custom and the second place holder will receive Pink Snow! I will be using random.org to draw numbers and I will draw until I have two separate winners. In the event that I draw the same person for both first and second prizes I'll be sending a little something extra along with the G4 MLP Arena Mascot to that individual for their fantastic luck but will continue drawing numbers until I have two winners.

Be patient - this is not a quick easy process. It's not just a case of great, person answered all questions, done. This is no different than interviewing for a real life job. We take EVERYTHING in to consideration (and we had roughly 30 applicants). We need to make completely sure that the people we pick are right for the job.

  Don't believe her; we've hired drunken monkey's to throw darts at random names slapped up on a board. How else would I have ever become Site Mod?
