Hi!! I am Paola, i came from Disney Pin Forum , and want add the seller gyantzpod in to the list of bad sellers. I buy from him some pins , and everything is ok with them
, but the last pin i buy is Counterfeit. He denies all , i send pics with the errors , and still keep in denies.
Thanks!

Thank You for your feedback, your experience is appreciated.

PixieWings, I need you to weigh in. Gyantzpod is on the list of good sellers. I didn't add him but I personally have bought tons of great pins from him over the years. I looked at his feedback. Overall, fabulous. Only 7 neutral or negative out of over 4000 in the last year. And, if you read them, a couple of them wanted to retract. Should we let one bad pin experience move him?

I would not, one report from one person when previous FB has been great, our own personal experiences have been great. I would wait and see if we get more reports with negative experiences. There was a seller before who was on the green list (I'm blanking on his name), I personally purchased many pins from him without issues, then suddenly he started to send scrappers, we left him green until we had multiple reports, moved him to orange, yellow and ultimately red. IMHO that's how we should handle any green sellers. Does that make sense?

I Think steamboatwillie39 should be moved to the GREEN list, I have bought from him several times, and each pin has come in great shape, most new on card and no signs whatsoever of being a scrapper. Koolstuff2005 I am still look over those pins I got from the seller, and a prelim look makes me think they could be scrappers, so buyers beware

Thanks for your FB!

Thanks for the info on steamboatwillie39. They were on yellow because we didn't have a lot of information on them. Koolstauff2005 is on orange because sometimes you get good stuff and sometimes bad, so the orange is buyer beware. I have bought from them myself. I didn't get scrappers, but the pins I got were damaged, and they weren't in their supposed self-taken photos. So, it is a toss-up with them, especially since their stories don't add up.

I will make some adjustments to the list.

Hmm. One pin from one person with one post on the board. It's a good question. I think maybe that's why the old thread referenced individual posts -- so people could see individual cases, if they differed from the general rating, and judge for themselves.

Yes, but at some point there are too many posts, the old thread is still here so people can go look if they want.

The old thread started with individual posts, but after a while stopped. There is no way I can list 137 pages of individual posts. The thread wouldn't accept that much text. Gyantzpod (Greg Yantz) has sent me tons of great pins. Always authentic. Look at his auctions and his feedback. The one recent feedback is from the person with one post. It's a tough call.

On the other hand mickeybigears826 is listing his auctions as factory seconds... from his ad: "Pins are listed as *used* and may have minor scratching, rough edges, blemishes, wobbly posts or color imperfections.
If you are buying from me, some pins are considered factory seconds.
If you are a collector, these pins may not be suitable for your personal collection.
This lot of pins is recommended for trading with Disney cast members. "

IMHO if a seller says he's selling seconds he should automatically go on the red list.

I agree, that does make sense. As usual, Kerri!

Thank you Kerri. Looks like I am getting it right so far. I am so much newer to this thread than you who has been using it for years. I want to keep it in the spirit of the original thread, but keep it easy to follow. I'll keep going and if I have any questions, I'll look to you for guidance since you seem to be the major veteran left from the old thread Thank you for everything.

I agree, that does make sense. As usual, Kerri!

Thanks guys, I appreciate you asking. I'm happy to contribute as much as I possibly can, this is actually the 3rd eBay pin sellers thread I've been active on on the Dis. LOL I do feel like I'm pretty well informed. LOL

Thanks Mommy, for starting this new thread, I appreciate all the work. I'm working on getting pins for a June trip and will provide seller updates if relevant.

Regarding gyantzpod, I've been buying from them frequently since I started collecting 7 years ago. Never had any issues.

I'm mainly a lurker in this thread, but I also wanted to say thank you for all the hard work.

Hi Everyone!
I'm new here, but have been lurking for some time planning my trip. I want to buy a few pins to start my daughter's collection and for trading on our first trip in November. Thanks for this thread - so helpful!

I want to make sure I'm buying genuine pins for trading, and have found a great lot being sold by ebay seller greatgifts4lessdollars. They have only 33 feedbacks, however the pins look okay at first glance? Any thoughts on this seller?

Thanks!

I am new to buying pins just trying to get a few for my son to trade in the summer. I bought 6 pin lot from a seller in Florida for $2 a piece all were scrapper pins, the color and quality are really bad.

Bad Seller was bms2183

I thought with the seller being in Florida, not selling large lots, and great feedback i would be safe, word of advice to anyone who is new the scrapper pins are laughable they look so bad, you would be embarrassed to even display them on a lanyard. Only buy from users who are on the green list here, its not worth trying to save a buck or two and take a risk with an unknown seller.

It's hard to say based on the photo they have, my advice would simply be "buyer be aware", meaning that you may get scrappers and you may not. Because I haven't purchased from them before I hesitate to say they are bad but would definitely use caution.

Thank You for your feedback. Based on a couple of the photos I saw I would use extreme caution when using this seller.

Thanks Pixiewings and SuperNaturalMommy. It is the lot on the card that I'm looking for - particularly because my daughter LOVES Periwinkle and Toy Story Mania, so those would be good pins for her to *not* trade.

Being in Canada, I need to consider shipping, too, and though I can find similar lots from green sellers, the cost to ship to me brings the per-pin cost up quite high.

Does anyone know anything about an eBay seller named disney-life? They have a pin set I am interested in for my 6 yo. I've never done the pin trading before as we have only done Disney cruises in the past but we are taking her to DW in 2 weeks and I think she would enjoy. I've been reading as much as I can on pin trading and really appreciate the threads with scrapper warnings. Of course now I am leery to buy from anyone not on the green list! LOL
Thanks for any insight!
