buyer beware; ebay seller lipin2012

[ponylady]

Out of curiosity, could you post pictures of the blind bags? They're normally quite iffy in quality as is, feels horrible to think you'd get ones that are so much worse that they're obvious rejects
If you can, of course 

I am curious to see also.

I am trully sorry you are having to go through all this.  Although I sometimes stand by ebay's reasoning as a seller about the return shipping, I don't always agree with it.  I know when I have had issues arise for what ever reason I usually pay the return shipping back to me because that is the honest thing to do, unless it is buyers remorse.  But to me it is not worth losing business over for a few dollars.

It seems to me they have a large turnover of customers, both good and bad.  And like I mentioned previously I have never had any issues with them but it was never for a large quantity of items. Another thing is there feedback shows that there were lots of peeps not happy about the blind bags they were selling    So I would think as a seller they would try and fix the issues before selling anymore because there is oviously a problem.

right sorry for the late reply, as mentioned this trouble with them is time wasting and at mo cuts into family time but i wanted to post these pics for those interested
this is the second lot received  of yukky gross bb as you will see some foreign material that looks like mold but doesn't wash of also paint smears, chips, scraps and symbol over spray

i have wave 1,2,3, the rest of 4, now 5 and none of them are like this or even near it in any way, all my 100+ are perfect in comparison
i was just going to lipin to get the ones i missed to complete the wave sets now i have to buy them again
if i was to resell these to customizers i dont think many people  would want to pay the high shipping cost from nz      even if they are little nzpost is mean.

i have now had to open a case for all the lost ones as i havent heard from him if he has shipped them or not when he does make contact he just ask funny questions, same ones over and over, now day 44

Cripes and what happened to that yellow girl's ear? 

Applejack's foreign substance looks like glue from the photos. Why would she have glue all over her? These BBs aren't in "used" condition, they're in "abused" condition.

My first thought was actually bootlegs, as that happened to me with Pokémon figures on eBay (so many reasons I don't use evilBay). These appear to be legit, they're just ... really ... loved.

gees thats not good
yes its put me off big time big time. we have heard of employee/factory theft with the so called prototypes, i honestly think these were binned, they most certainly weren't the ones in the pictures on the auctions.
follow pony people need to be warned about this   

[hamsteh]

Darn, I just bought a pony from this seller as well. xD
Thankfully, it's just a BB for customising anyway and I expect to receive something Pony, paint smudges and that, and it's a single pony that only cost me like £1.30, free postage. xD

If I'm buying from China, as a general rule I try to keep it cheap, free postage in case it goes missing... and I try to expect the worst. That AJ looks pretty gross, though. D: Good luck getting it sorted!

[Sea_Breeze]

Geez their in pretty bad shape alright, I'd agree with factory seconds. I'm always wary about dealing with China, we deal with them directly at work with buses & parts it can be REALLY frustrating, they send the wrong parts and when we receive new buses things are actually missing that were there on the previous shipment!!! I hope your able to find some resolution for this mess

[achab1984]

That is not a good seller to deal with! There are a few others out there also. 

[popyduggan]

Rggghh!!! Lipin!!!

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Thanks for letting us know this seller will also mail the incorrect pony.   

[shabbychicdee]

oh for goodness sake
sorry to hear that hun.
it bugs me so much, i still have had nothing yet, no partial refunds or anything replaced, he said he posted something but nothing has arrived well over 3 weeks now.
he had the cheek to charge me for reposting the ones i showed in the photos so they aren't tracked and probably won't show up. how dodgy is that huh 
i have no idea whats going on and what he is resending now, he really is a terrible dealer

[Galactica]

Wow- those are both bad-

wrong pony and REALLY bad blind bags-

[Brandi]

Those blind bags look terrible. Especially that yellow one, she looks like she's been run over by a car! It's such a shame, because I was watching some items from this seller. I won't be bidding after seeing this! Sorry this seller is stringing you out.

[hannaliten]

Wow, those blind bags look terrible! And the wrong pony, yikes!
I recently ordered 3 shining armor from the same seller and had no problems at all.

[Tulips]

I've ordered from Lipin quite a lot in the past and had no problems. But I haven't bought from them recently so thanks for the heads up that their good rep is slipping, i might avoid them from now on. So sorry you've had such a bad time dealing with them, those blind bags are horrid.

[LunaDehligt]

I've bought things from the seller but it feels strange that it just is blind bag not arrive in time, but I bought them larger pony learned from lipin2012 but they have not turned up yet and I do not know what to do, and the tracking number is no help at all and I do not want to buy more from lipin2012
