    Questions about buying limited edition pins in ebay.

    Hi everyone, I'm still new to pin trading and have an interest in purchasing the Carl and Ellie love is an adventure 6 pin set. I've been scanning through ebay and found a few sellers with the RSP for the pin set. Do you think ebay has trustworthy sellers for exclusive pins like these?
  2. What should I do about this eBay seller?

    Hey all, On Sept 25, I bought a pin on eBay for about $15, including shipping. I paid, but the payment never "went through". eBay said the seller hasn't accepted the payment, and the seller said that they checked with eBay and that it was probably an error on my part. So, I cancelled the...
  3. Possibly the Worst Counterfeit Pin I Have Ever Seen

    Umm, does anyone else see a problem with this pin? I just saw it listed on Ebay by what appears to be a newcomer to the scrapper business. It appears they have a bit of a quality control issue.
  4. Scrapper Warning (DLRP/DSF)

    Sorry if this is old news! The notorious seller from Hong Kong with the cool name on eBay recently started selling some new DLRP and DSF pins. Now, I am not sure if all of them are "newly" scrappered, but I know he started selling some that I have been watching for a long time, so I know those...
  5. Solicitation from Chinese Scrapper Factory - Where to Report??

    I received the below message in response to a pin listing I had posted on Ebay. What is interesting is that the company actually sent me the message through Ebay, as if they were asking a question about my listing (which I thought was kind of bold). Does anyone know where I should report this...
  6. Bought these online..could anyone verify that they're real?

    Hi so I'm a new collector/trader and I just bought some pins online and just wanted to verify whether or not they were real. I was lookin on here and saw that counterfeits have a type of "border" around them on the back. My pins don't have this border so does that mean they're good or are there...
  7. Good ebay sellers and ebay tips

    I was just wondering if anyone could PM me some good ebay sellers' usernames for pins. :). Also, I'm pretty sure I have asked this before, but what are some good ways to know if a pin is real or scrapper? Or when a pin is so cheap it can't be real. What's the price range when that happens...
  8. More eBay Blues—What Should I Do?

    Hey all, I found what I thought was a good deal on eBay, but I feel like I'm getting burned. Late last night (about 11:30 pm), I purchased a set of the four Villain stained glass pin released yesterday. I was a good deal ($30 bid, $60 buy-it-now) so I paid the $66 including shipping. I paid...

    Can't believe I got burned again on eBay!

    Well, I can believe it, but not when I thought I was being careful... Saw a couple of pins I needed on eBay and checked if there were Scrapper Alerts for them in PinPics. There weren't and the pins were on card, so I bid for them. As the shipping charges are high these days I decided to see the...
  10. Suspicious bid on an auction site - need quick advice please!

    I know this in the wrong place and will get moved, but I just wanted to post it were it would be seen and I can hopefully get quick replies. I just won a pin on the Bay. When I bid, I set a maximum that it would bid up to for me. No one else bidded, until the last minute, when someone placed a...
  11. Received a broken pin post pin today, what should I do?

    I bought these 3 pins on ebay together in one ebay auction. I paid $9.38 for the 3 pins and $3 for shipping. I got them today and one of the little pins has a broken pin post and they sent the back that has the post stuck in it as well as a mickey head, almost like they knew it was broken. I...
  12. Saw This On Ebay...

    [/IMG] Someone on eBay is pre-selling this pin. It says it comes out at WDW on May 31st??? Is this true? Is it being released ONLY at WDW? Or at DLR too? Would anyone please be able to and willing to pick me one up at cost or close to cost by chance please? :D Thank You! :hug:
  13. eBay etiquette

    Hi guys, I know this isn't really Other collectible related but I was purchasing and won a Designer Villains Cruella De Vil from eBay so it is somewhat related. I just wanted to ask what to do in this circumstance and I figured the best place to get other Disney fans opinions would be on here...

  15. New eBay update

    So. Just got off a second call with eBay. Was told and I will quote "If you receive a counterfeit item, don't immediately ask for a refund, try to work it out with the seller". And - "you are responsible for knowing if the item you are bidding on is counterfeit or not". My ban holds, I am...
  16. Ebay pin advice - postage.

    Hi guys, I need some advice. I put in a bid on a pin without looking at the pnp, I won said pin, but they want the price of the pin again as PNP for it (in fact they want more than the price of the pin, its a $16 pin and they want $20 PNP) I emailed them and asked if they would ship standard...
  17. Possible Scrapper Jessicas???

    There is a seller on ebay with a quite a few Jessica pins, but when you look at the photos of some of the pins, Jessica and/or Roger's eyes are metal? Would anyone be interested in PMing me for the username and see if these are possible scrapper pins?
  18. What "Grinds Your Gears" about pin trading/buying/collecting?

    I love collecting pins. So does my wife. We all know its sort of... addicting... and we do it because we love it. However, in my year of trading, I have learned about fakes and scrappers, unscrupulous traders, and eBay sellers out to con honest collectors out of hard earned money, and frankly...
  19. How to REALLY Check an eBay Seller (or Bidder) Before You Buy a Pin

    I am sick of hearing that my DPF friends are getting scammed by unscrupulous eBay sellers to the point that people are afraid to buy pins, or can't trust themselves when looking at an auction. I have privately shared this information with a few friends, and now I am sharing it with all of you...
