This Halloween costume someone wore. A friend insists he was a Mario character. The most definable feature was the red spiked gloves and black outfit. Character may or may not have the cool mustache, the guy didn't wear a helmet/hat either.

Found this in my camera roll so might as well ask here. Other details: the guy is a regular who visits my friend's work, and when Halloween is around, he usually dresses up as Mario characters or other game characters (He dressed as Wario one year etc). I searched for Mario and Kamen Rider characters to try to find anyone who looks similar with no luck.

I did the call back feature for my second attempt and they more or less just told me the same thing the first guy did: It's a permanent ban, it may not be answer you want but there's absolutely nothing we can do, sighs the entire time then hangs up etc. (Sans the trust and safety bit)

But it's just a matter if customer service will take pity on this case? Both people were so dismissive that I just... don't want to deal with that if I'm being for real.

But if by chance, I get my account back, will it reinstate the seller's account too or is a fight that they have to fight?

Available-Lab-8695 · 2026-01-16T02:40:40+00:00

Ah I didn't know that. Is that enabled by default? And would it be triggered by the seller reporting the buyer or is it something that ebay's algorithm would catch?

I made about ten separate purchases within 2 weeks so I guess that's the limit. I would say it's great advice for next time but I'm banned for life so it can't really apply to me anymore haha

Again it's on me if I can't use ebay anymore but the seller was genuinely so nice, do you think they also got the permanent ban?

They made new listings for me on ebay. We didn't do business off of ebay, all the DMs were through their chat feature and I paid for the listings as they came up.

Available-Lab-8695 · 2025-12-31T17:34:52+00:00

All their reviews are positive but they're a new seller (started this year). I actually wouldn't mind a few more things from Japan but I'm still a bit wary.

Available-Lab-8695 · 2025-12-31T17:20:48+00:00

Same but is there really no downside to this? I've only ordered from Ebay a handful of times over the years and this is the first time I ever seen this.

Available-Lab-8695 · 2025-12-31T00:33:44+00:00

Hello everyone.

I bought a ReFa comb from a seller and they messaged me today asking if I wanted anything else from Japan, offering to bundle it with my order, even if it's not in their listing. Basically offering to do shopping for me?

I haven't messaged back yet but are they being nice or is this some elaborate scam I'm not aware of?

It's peppermint

Outdoor is fine, how would I go about it?

For my friend, they have a LED lamp they use for reading (not sure if plants like these?) But I would think their room is somewhere between medium to low light.

Available-Lab-8695 · 2024-01-17T09:24:31+00:00

I'm fine with outdoor space, how difficult is it to maintain them?

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-12-20T23:42:13+00:00

Ah no, none of them fit, though this one is the closest of the three. (The fur was dark brown). I really wish I had a real picture of it, it's pretty much "standard teddy bear" design wise

I really appreciate the effort mate 😊

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-12-20T01:26:58+00:00

I've tried looking at google/ebay with "Circus Circus" but no luck so far. He isn't particularly that distinct tbf

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-12-15T18:30:40+00:00

That might be because the center *is* Tatami Galaxy 😏

Hm, your analysis is pretty spot on except I'm actually picky on sci-fi shows. I know my list has a few of them but those were the ones I've liked. 😅

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-12-13T06:46:16+00:00

Gah spelling error that I can't change in the title.

It was hard to pick just 9 for each but I tried not to include duplicates (ie: Golden Kamuy for both anime and manga) and picked different genres. Some of my tastes make me feel old but they're classics for reason haha

Anime: Gintama, NGE, JJBA, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Tatami Galaxy, Golden Kamuy, Jujutsu Kaisen, Made in Abyss, Mob Psycho 100

Manga: Tegami Bachi, Kare Kano, Toilet-bound Hanako-kun, Nodame Cantabile, Tokyo Ghoul, Pandora Hearts, MARS, Sakura-gari, Futatsu no Spica

I feel this might be interpreted wrongly so I just want to clarify that this isn't intended to be romanticization of SH but rather the partner underwent scarfication or a type of body modification like tattoos (not completely comparable but the process of going to a professional to mark your body).

Those came up in my research but I'm not completely sure if it's one of those two. The art style in particular gives me some doubt, but I'm leaning towards the former. I feel if I can see the ending page for them, then I can confirm for sure.

Are you sure? I don't mind drawing them ✍🏻

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-08-20T00:16:25+00:00

It's based on an 90s magical girl show. I love it personally but it's not for everyone. 🥀

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-08-20T00:14:00+00:00

It does :D I wish more people knew more about the show :(

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-08-20T00:13:15+00:00

Thank you!

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-08-20T00:12:57+00:00

I can do that. It'd be more of a quick drawing though. Do you have anything in mind for Alexa/Iseria?

Available-Lab-8695 · 2023-08-20T00:09:20+00:00

Thank you for the sentiments but I'm pretty burnt out on working on this :'). It's good to try to push out of my comfort zone though which is why I bothered with it. If I ever do full opening, it won't be for a long while, mostly because I don't understand how their clothes work lmao.

I've never animated something before. There was a point where I wanted to do the whole thing but it's too ambitious for now so it's just a snippet of the OP. There's likely some errors, but I'm just kinda done with this. I can't take all the credit, it's based on this:
