[Galactica]

Blocked, Thank you all for your hard work investigating this and letting us know


UPDATE.....I just realized that this girl did buy a pony from me recently on Jan 23rd! I remember her now because she had hustled me so hard on best offers that I actually cracked up laughing instead of getting irritated and countered her back saying "Oh come on.....this is the lowest I will go..." She was literally countering me back .25 cheaper than my offer....wth lol...I just though wow ok this one is VERY frugal Now I see that she is so frugal that she is actually willing to lie about helping children with cancer!!!MAKES ME SICK!

I think the woman is probably mentally ill.  Just a hunch.

I've just recently messaged a seller I'd been blocked by, just to find out why... turned out I'd done a follow-up feedback saying that she didn't leave feedback (the honest truth, my initial feedback was +, plus it was after several polite messages and a considerable amount of time) - so instead of leaving feedback, she blocked me, whatever.

So you can message (and apparently see) members who you've been blocked by - I just got a message saying that 'this seller is not accepting bids from you at this time' when I tried to place a bid. I certainly didn't have to do anything to message them, I could see all of their info and just went about it the normal way. It wan't a purposeful 'evasion' at all in my case.

hang on, did you say her user id is technopon-e? She has a few babies up for auction I have been watching, 2 rainbows and tic-tac-toe.. now I have no idea if I should continue or just let them go.. haven't bid on them yet because I really only wanted the one. I think I will pass..

[ponylady]

Yep, that would be her.

It looks like all those ponies she was buying for her sick niece are now being sold.

I would recommend just avoiding any kind of contact: buying or selling. She latches on to any kind of kindness or communication you offer. Avoidance is best. That's my two cents from personal experience.

[cassstorm]

I am familiar with the type unfortunately.. removed from my watch list

[Shiromisa]

Wow, begging cheap ponies just to resell them? That's low and badly-thought-out.

I think you are right LOL Definitely a good one to stay away from if you are selling or buying apparently

Yep .. and everyone is right - thats really low and TBH disgusting

I feel like I've heard this name before...I have no idea under what circumstances, but she sounds so familiar.  I'll have to check through my eBay feedback.  This is just disgusting and I'm appalled that anyone could possibly be so demented to pull a scam like this.

Ugh, begging ponies for a cancer patient, then selling them? Isn't that fraud? Disgusting.

Thanks for your time!

Wow she has some nerve! I would tell her sure maybe $25 for 2 or 3 of them! what a joke, that is a VERY insulting offer I would have been irritated to say the least, especially since we are all aware of her game now

I can understand wanting to clinch a deal, but why drag in a case of cancer? My dearest aunt passed from cancer not long ago, and this just makes me sick. Something that tragic and upsetting should not be this easily used an an excuse to, what? Get a better deal on a pony? Honestly, this kind of behaviour is disgusting.
