...PS...they were not being SOLD "AS IS" when i viewed her thread..they were said to be in good condition which is why i PMd her with my questions... I can deal with removable marks I said no mold and they had mostly that...mold. so i requested a return...and she denied a return.

Jamie, the reason Tak started this thread was because she wanted to be able to accurately describe ponies. It was apparently a misunderstanding about the listing.


There is no reason to call people names here. You didn't have to immediately open a case. A buyer should be able to communicate with a seller for misunderstandings.

I have no comlaints about her starting the thread for that reason...i have a problem with her posting my user name having people block me for a misunderstanding and not having her defending what actually happened. in turn making people not trust me...sh can post questions without using my name making me out to be a problem.

original thread :
Can anyone write down a clear definition of the terms used in selling. Specifically for the arena. A picky collector's opinion of great condition is a whole lot different than someone who's newer, has lower income, likes cleaning, or just has a lower standard. I apparently didn't describe a pair of ponies correctly to a buyer. I honestly did my best to make their flaws clear and didn't see some that she says are there. I'm refunding all she paid and she can dispose of the ponies as she wants or I can pay her to ship them back no problem. If she's not happy I'll do whatever in my power to make it right. Not sure if having a dispute on my PayPal effects my feedback ratings here or on eBay and it certainly wasn't necessary with me.
Please can someone help with a pinned list of condition definitions on the arena? I would hate to disappoint someone ever again. 

A brief overview of this whole thread (more details if you read all of the posts) :
 The buyer jamiedey5 (Arena ID) jammiepie5 (ebay ID ) and Tak the seller had what seemed to be a difference of opinion on condition of some ponies. Jamiedey said that the ponies had more flaws than described and smelled mouldy and so she wanted a refund.  She opened a case before TAk could refund her, but then closed it when she saw that the seller Tak  had refunded her ( jamiedey5/jammiepie5) and then Tak let her keep the ponies too.
 Tak asked for further advice here about describing conditions  as she was new to selling and didn't want to disappoint other buyers. She had in fact described  that they were not perfect, but opinions on conditions  do differ and Tak is still learning so mistakes can be made .
After that everything seemed to be resolved between buyer and seller and the buyer left the seller good feedback.

However it has now come to light that the buyer had since gone on to list the ponies for sale on ebay, not only for more money than she originally paid (although she had now had a full refund)  - of course reselling is understandable if she didn't want them for her own collection although the price rise for supposedly more flawed ponies doesn't seem right  -  but she also described them in good condition with no mouldy smells etc  in the listing although she had told her seller that the ponies had flaws that weren't described and smelled mouldy (the seller had originally listed that these ponies had flaws and were not perfect and sent extra pics to the buyer).
ETA - buyer: if those were *not* the same ponies you got from Tak then feel free to come and post here and explain. We want to be fair

 Another member here has mentioned further in this thread that she had the same buyer trying to knock her ponies prices on ebay down too , without a best offer included in the listings , and messaged her with explanations as to why the ponies weren't worth what the other member asked for them
The buyer is new to the Arena , but she is not new to collecting or buying/selling on ebay

Just something to be aware of.

If the buyer wants to add her point of view she is more than welcome of course. Maybe we can still talk through this situation and understand it better?

Ok I am deeply offended by this post and wish for it to be removed...this is complete slander of my name both here and on ebay...i have over 1k positive feedback on ebay and don't appreciate being made out to be a thief. I took screen shots of what went down between myself and TAK. This is completely uncalled for! I wanted to return the ponies to her and she told me to keep them?! ok how is this me being bad? i told her what was wrong with them upon delivery of package and asked to return for a refund. I also clearly asked her to look them over for me with a list of the things I find to not to be acceptable. I Buy and sell on ebay and only come to the Arena for my personal collection not to re sell. I do not restore moldy ponies so I had no need for Glory or Moondancer in such a state so I gave them both to a friend that does customs. She boils them down and strips them down to their shells. I made no profit on those ponies, I have sold several, of both of these 2 common ponies, on ebay because that's what i do...I BUY LOTS AND SELL INDIVIDUALLY ON EBAY...I come across tons of Glory and Moondancer ponies because they are common. below are our conversations of how it all went down. As you can see I am completely dumb founded that any of this is even being said.
