This.See if the person would be willing to do the trade through a pinpics moderator as a neutral third party.
Ask if they are new to Pin Trading, or have changed their ID that is used for references. If they have NO references I tell them, politely, that it is common in the hobby to have them send their pin first and upon receipt I will mail my pin.
I have done this for years without any probem.

Could the person have EBAY refs?I would ask them that
This.
I have a question: Are you more reluctant to make the trade, because she sent a counter-offer? Or is it just her lack of references that is holding you back? I'm just wondering, because I never thought that making a counter-offer would make someone distrustful of me (unless it was an unreasonable counter-offer).
My guess/hope is that it's just the lack of references that is bothering you, but I just want to be sure. I hope I'm not offending people (in general) with counter-offers.
That's great news. Hope it works out for you!I have emailed her asking if she has any references and hope to hear from her soon. Thank you to everyone for your advice, I will keep you posted.
That's great news. Hope it works out for you!
PS: While I have your attention, how many Jasmine pins do you still need, now that you got the ones in the mail yesterday?
I've been following the number in your siggy. It's really fun to see other traders having that level of success. It gives the rest of us hope! :hug:
When I made my first internet trades, experienced traders asked me to send my pin first. I was happy to do it, because I wanted to get the references and build up my reputation. One trader told me early on, "Sorry, but we need to be careful and so should you." Every new trader should hear that.
