Pretty sure they made that box. Its pretty fishy haha
I think I know the one you mean. U.K. Seller right? If it's the one... It was listed for 3 or more days to begin with this morning so I message and asked for pictures of the back and bottom of the box and the seller immediately changed the auction to end in 24 hours and did not reply me lol. X

X Yes that's the one. It does seem fishy. I noticed it had a really short running time. I didn't notice the "monkey" brand until you said it. I hope the seller is doing this in good faith. But not replying to you and instead making the run time shorter.. it doesn't look good.
The rainbow on the front of the box is anachronistic. If you look at the Y in pony, it doesn't have the curl tail. I'm pretty sure that dates from the 1990s, whereas all early cards have the curl y which is on the back card, such as:http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:Mib-starflash.jpg I am not totally certain about the rainbow on the back as different ponies have often slightly different shades of rainbow depending on year, and I haven't got my cards to hand - but the one on the bottom is definitely too late for Butterscotch, who was sold with the Gymkhana here anyway.Whether this seller picked her up like that or made it themselves I dunno, but it's definitely not authentic. That style of package exists here only in G3 and 4 anyway, and the name Butterscotch looks like it's computer printed font, as opposed to the blue font used on early cards from that time period...
Maybe just report it to Ebay? I realise ebay is buyer beware but if someone is bidding seriously and doesn't realise, then it's not really a good thing. It's more likely to be an inexperienced bidder/s that get taken in by not realising these things.
Honestly, no idea. I haven't had to either.
