I'm interested in them, but not willing to go out of my way with expensive shipping for them.
I just hope the blind bags return here. Wave 1 was stocked ONCE around the middle of last year and they sold out before I could find any... haven't heard hide nor hair of them around my area since.

I think one of the main problems is that buyers aren't told anything under 5 stars in every category is marked "unsatisfactory DSRs" by eBay's standards.
That sucks about your shipping ratings though. They really are only meant to be marked down if the seller was tardy in shipping, used bad packaging and/or overcharged. I know at least one person who didn't have a clue about the DSR standards and was putting 3-4 stars if they thought postage was a little too high or a little slow before I told them about it.
Unfortunately eBay doesn't really care anymore about smaller sellers it seems, they expect them to be able to meet the standards of a shop or business. When the small sellers inevitably can't, they get punished for it.

Indeed I did... Thanks for the email, but I feel the item was described accurately. I am sorry you feel differently.That seems faire [postage refund] . It is done
Can't really believe that they think one picture and a bare-bones description of what the item is with no mention of flaws is "accurate"  The refund money is in my PayPal account, so at least that's done. Not sure whether to leave neutral or positive right now, though I think I will leave positive as they did refund that excess, and I'll just lower the DSRs on description. How does this sound: "Fast ship. Description left out lots flaws. Excess ship, extra charges refunded."ETA: Looking at their feedback, someone else has posted something about bad shipping protection very recently... [from buyer] Disappointed. Cards were shipped unprotected. Penny sleeves would've been nice. [from seller] Please, stop the madness. The cards were not shipped unprotected and you know itSomething to consider...?

My mum somewhat supports my pony and MH collection... if there's something she wants, she might buy it, but usually it comes out of my own money. Sisterling is indifferent, sometimes gives me a little tease about it. Rest of family don't know.

I tried my best at the keeping polite thing, this is what I sent... (sorry about my wordy-ness)
Hello,
I received the pony a few days ago... however I'm not really happy with what I've received
My first issue is the condition of the item. I didn't ask questions before my purchase so I won't be pursuing a refund on the item price.
However when it arrived I noticed there are significant bends to the front cardboard and fraying of the edges not shown in the picture and not described.
On the back there is more damage in the form of ingrained dirt and creases. Again, there was no description of this, and no photo.
I suggest in future you describe these potential flaws for an item, as they may influence someone's decision to purchase significantly.
-continued in next message-
-continued from previous message-
Secondly, is the shipping. I was charged $14.99 for shipping. When I received the package I noted a price sticker on it for $9.60. This would not fuss me if the item was well packed. When I opened it I noticed the top of the cardboard had been forced into the box and bent in order to fit the box, causing extra damage.
The only padding was what looked like three ripped up color brochures.
I really feel that I did not get what I paid for in shipping.
Further to the prior message, there now appears to be extra damage to the front of the card possibly caused by this lack of protection.
For these reasons, I ask that you please refund me the excess charge of shipping ($5.39). I simply feel I overpaid for what I got.
For future packaging it might be good to wrap items in bubble wrap or some kind of plastic, as if the package had gotten wet the ink would have completely ruined the item.
I await your reply with best regards
Emma
ETA: Hopefully I did decently there, I've been stressed as another item I received on Monday from eBay was also not as described (Pokemon cards that were fakes), so I had to send them a message too. Some strange time I'm having.

Need a bit of advice folks. On the 19th of Jan I bought a MIP G2 Berry Bright off eBay via BIN for what I thought was a great price (USD$4). I trusted this seller because they sold other collectables and have very high feedback (7500). I paid (plus $15 shipping) and the item was shipped two days later and just got here today. Description was 1997 My Little Pony Berry Bright from 97, sealed in package with accessories. Below is the auction picture. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginThis is how the package arrived. I took pictures as my skills at illustrating a scene can be rubbish at times  The first is a recreation of how it was placed in the box as I took it out to take pics. The second illustrates the 'padding' given underneath. Third is how she looks face up... visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAll looks good, yeah? However, the bubble and card are rather dusty - not just where that price sticker is. Also, there's a lot of bending in the cardboard (some of which I think is due to how it was packed), that gap in the cardboard which isn't visible at all in the auction pic (sorry about the second being fullsize, Imageshack wouldn't let me use the thumbnail) visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginThe back is the worst... there were no pictures or descriptions of its condition so I assumed that if the front appeared relatively ok, then the back should be fine. Wrooooong!  visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAs you can see: significant creasing and bending of the cardboard, and ingrained dirt on the back. I also looked on the box and the seller only paid USD$9.60 for shipping. The main reason I am so annoyed about this is because this seller, whom is a Top-rated Seller by eBay standards, whom has 7500 feedback at 99.8% and deals in selling collectibles; has overcharged me and then packed the item rather poorly (causing it to have further bending), left out details about the condition of the back and overall item, and possibly misrepresented the item by taking a bird's eye photo so that these evident flaws aren't noticed. Thank god it didn't get wet or the card would be ruined. They should really know better on all this by now  I was so excited about getting my first MIP pony ever for a great price, and this has happened. I do want to contact them and at least try and get a partial refund on the shipping, but at this point I'm a bit too angry and disappointed not only at the seller, but also at myself. I did fail to ask questions and assumed things in my rush to snap up the BIN...  At least I have learned my lesson, but someone help with how I should word a message to the seller and proceed?

I used to sleep with my old care bear, but I lost her in a flood in 2007, I replaced her with a stuffed tiger as I had no time to shop at all and they were selling them at the supermarket when I went for some supplies, at the time I was not fussy, it was cute, and it would do lol. Apparently the supermarkets ran out of garbage bags & cigarettes I'm surprised the supermarket didn't have a commotion on hand with the latter somehow being out of stock!

rossjarrett bought some italian ponies from me and relisted them with my picture and at a very high BIN. just my 2 cents on this guy..!
If I recall correctly, you can contact eBay notifying them of the stolen pictures, and eBay can take those listings down. I'm pretty sure it's against policy to use someone else's pictures.

Yes, there are Lala's I have nabbed one. So it is likely she has replaced him then?
...Drat.
Oooh, I hope not. I hated it when they did that with the 2.0 cases and didn't release Lagoona.

They've been spotted a few weeks ago in Toy World, but not in Target. Interesting they're the same price though as usually Toy World marks their prices up a tad.

I have a purple fuzzy cushion that I tend to cuddle with at night. I migrated from soft toys to it unfortunately that specific one has actually got a tear, I don't know if I somehow did that or what...

I got glitter loss on several ponies last time I used Oxyclean, also had loss of the iridescent paint on TEs. In my case it left a bit of glitter paint. It didn't get rid of the glitter completely but enough to make the symbols look like they've lot a fair amount of glitter and devalue them.
The main glitter loss seemed to be when I wiped them dry with a towel, I found if I dabbed them dry it helped a little, but I wouldn't risk it again.

Yes Lagoona Skull shores has arrived here! I bought one  I have not seen Gil or Abby.
I also scored the frankie and lala from killer style set at woolies today!!
Only 10 dollars each :3 (only at Epping Plaza  )
Do want, but Epping... too far from me... *wail*
Where abouts are you from? I might be able to check to see if they have any killer style ones left?
I'm right near Sydenham... so Epping is a bit of a travel. If you can see if they have Frankie left that'd be great, I'm not too flash on Draculaura with the simplified leggings
