UK Pin trading advice...

Apologies in advance if this has been posted elsewhere! I'm still learning how this all works!
First question -
I've been trying to get hold of pins in Disney stores and tried the biggest in Oxford St (apparently this is the biggest store in Europe?) but alas no pins. To my surprise though they did offer trading there. Are there other Disney UK stores that do this? So far I haven't found any others...and the selection was a little weak to say the least.
Secondly -
I've been lucky enough to book up a mini break to Disney Paris in March of next year and can't wait to trade some pins for the first time. But I hear so much negativity; am I likely to just end up with fake pins and rubbish? How can I tell?
I made the mistake of buying on ebay and threw away the pins as they were obviously fakes and nonsense...not even pretty enough to keep but even then I wasn't sure. I only kept three that to be looked real, but I'm worried they aren't. Is it worth trading with staff at parks at all?
thanks!
