but I also know that me myself, even if it was something I didn't collect, like... GI Joe's, if it had pen all over it, I would definitely mention it
I didn't know that dinging stars could have these effects, Dewprincess, as I'm not selling on ebay. (Are you sure, this is the case on all ebay platforms in all countries? I will have to check ...) I would always contact the seller first anyway, and give them an opportunity to solve the problem. If, however, they refuse to do anything about it, I would either ding stars or leave neutral/negative feedback or open a claim - depending on the issue. (Having said that, I'd never had to do any of these things, but I have contacted a number of sellers before, because the item wasn't as described.)

I would not assume fault with the seller.So, the fault falls on me entirely? I never really thought like, seriously that the seller was trying to deceive intentionally, but, I think that it's pretty normal to want to take the "best photo" you can and not always put the worst of the bunch right out front... that's what I meant more than, they "hid it", I just found it interesting the way it played out as far as the way they were set in the photo and the one pony that had issues... not like, they were intentionally trying to be like... "haha I'll screw this buyer by hiding it", if that makes any sense... in my mind there's a difference there, lol one more harmless than the other. And I feel this probably was harmless, which is why I don't even... want to make a fuss about it... really. I was hoping most people would just tell me to stop being such a whiny baby, lol I just wanted to get some perspective... but look... people can ding stars, that's why it's available. That's all I'm saying. Unsatisfied buyers are given an option by eBay to leave positive feedbacks and rate on stars based on what they think... I've got stupid star dings before for things that weren't even my fault (like a delay in postage from the post, not from my shipping date...) and I've had to deal with it... not everyone messages sellers and says, "Something irked me, I expect you to fix it" and let a seller do something before star dings... ^ Also, this is not supposed to sound anything in a snippy tone, I'm just sayin'... ya know, stars were put in by eBay, they didn't always exist, so why do I always feel like "buyers can't give anything but 5 stars"?? But that is not the topic. So... whatevs. I've already started working on Misty and I plan on continuing... I've pretty much put it out of my mind at this point ... ya know? Moving on, lol onto more ponies.

Moving on, lol onto more ponies. I definitely did not mean to say that you were at fault for anything, so please don't feel that way. I just think that this particular seller put them in a lot, snapped a pic, and listed them to get them out of her house. I don't think there was any intent either way, is what I was trying to convey.As a buyer of lots, the best deals are the ones where a lot of ponies are listed by a non-collector. When this happens, there is a 50/50 chance you may or may not hit the pony lotto with them condition-wise. When I get a less-than-perfect lot, personally, I figure out what to do with it. If it was horrible and I felt that it was not worth the money, then I would ask the seller for a refund/return.As for the star ratings, you have every right to leave whatever you feel is proper. I would not let anyone anywhere tell me what to leave or not leave feedback-wise for a transaction. But I personally will always live by the rule of "do unto others as you would have them do to you." That is only a personal opinion though, and you should not take it to heart or make you feel any certain way about what you choose to do.
