lol..your not crazy!    It looks like a stock photo and a copied description of the pony in question.

I would like I said send a picture of the pony you got and the pony she has listed for sale.  She clearly did not do her homework. 

And honestly after looking at their horrendous feedback I am not sure that you will be able to come to any sort of resolution.     
 

Good lord.  400 negatives in the last month?  That's INSANE.

Can you believe I didn't even see that? That's on me for not doing my homework! The sheer amount of their selling hides it... Well, I'll contact them again but I don't expect anything. I'll just sell these two myself and buy the right one from another seller, perhaps on here as at least Arena members know there's a difference!

Thanks for your help and feedback guys Much appreciated.

Well, today I received the replacement package and... I got the same one AGAIN. Aaargh! I mean it's nice they sent me another one... but now I have two of the wrong ones and still not the one I ordered. WTH.

It's still Gingerbread, she was also my favourite childhood pony and I still love her! Although others have come into top three: my NSS Cupcake and baby Applejack which I didn't have before!

Oh my, what a terrible conundrum! Good luck with it all DaffyDilly

I've fortunately never been in the position I've even had to consider it. When we were hit with some unexpected bills I wanted to, but my husband forbid it and we just worked extra instead and it wasn't so bad as we thought (also, I'm crazy, and refuse to let our savings go below a certain amount so we *do* always have emergency money). I would find it really difficult at this point in my collecting to let go of stuff. I can't!

By gen and set! And in the sets, of course ponies in the same pose go together  I'm insanely picky about it, lol. I also seperate UK&US issues, and Nirvana's of course. I used to display them in order of release too but I've let that go and put my favourites at eye level

Not in the US, but I love the First Class International option! It's always fast and pretty cheap, and I have bought many many things from the US the past four years and nothing has ever gotten lost or taken more than two weeks to get to me. US mail is so much more awesome than our own

I wish if somebody bid with less than 5 minutes left, it would reset to "5 minutes remaining", real auctions aren't ruled by a deadline necessarily. Ebay could make a lot more money that way but what do I know...

This makes the most sense to me! Especially as a seller!

I wasn't talking about auctions where someone bid alot higher and it only went one bid increment higher than me, that's fine. It's when I bid say $25.00 as my max then someone else puts like 25.01 and win it. That just isn't right! I certainly would have been willing to go another dollar higher, so it's like cheating the seller out of a dollar or more, too.

Then do as I suggested and always always always enter your max bid! I keep preaching this but I swear it helps. Also, you cannot see how much the other person has bid, and there isn't an increment of 0.01 when the auction is already above a certain amount, I think. So, you simply don't know by how much the other bidder has actually outbid you.

I'm repeating myself, but it always comes down to who ever is willing to pay most, so to avoid frustration, don't just put any bid in you *think* will win it, but whatever you will be willing to lay down for the item.

As an example, something I really want on eBay is at $30 right now. I'm going to bid in the last ten seconds, I know that already. I will be putting in $80, which is the max amount I am prepared to spend on this, regardless of whether it's still at $30, or $40 or whatever. I might get a good deal, I might have to pay $80, or I might get outbid. If I get outbid, fine, it's too expensive for me. I'll look for another one!
