Good/Bad Internet and eBay Pin Sellers
Press ctrl+f to find a seller (type exact name)
Here is a thread to check a seller before you buy from them. If you have had a good experience with a seller, or a bad one, please post it  Major piece of advice: DON'T BUY BIG LOTS! They are often full of scrappers. Try to buy individual pins! Also, don't just judge a seller by their feedback! I have been burned with scrappers by sellers with 100% positive feedback! The problem is that the majority of eBay buyers don't know what a scrapper is, or they don't know how to tell whether or not a pin is a scrapper. Read chip_and_dale!'s guides on eBay. Google search his name (chip_and_dale!) and click on his My World page. Signs of Scrappers Thread What a good/bad seller does What we mean by Scrapper WEBSITES! www.pinpics.com-Great for looking at the correct version of the pin, and also has notices for possible scrappers and how to determine whether or not yours is a scrapper. www.dizpins.com-Has a list of possible known scrappers (http://www.dizpins.com/pinventory/scrappers.htm) POSTS TO READ! http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=467 http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=...0&postcount=41 http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=229 Red Flags: No mention of pins being official Pins "100% Tradeable" Duplicate pins Low LE pins Oily smell Sold individually in small plastic bags (not always a red flag, but a lot of large volume scrapper salespeople seem to not take them out of the scrapper bags) Off-color Dimples in paint Rough edges Also, Disney accepts tips for scrapper sellers at tips@disneyantipriacy.com. THE LIST Key: Green - Go ahead and buy. These sellers are known to sell real pins. Orange - Questionable. Disers have had mixed results with these sellers. Red - PLEASE DO NOT BUY! These seller are known scrapper salesmen or buy scrappers and trade them for real pins to sell. Yellow - We do not have enough information to make a call on these sellers.

Whoa they blocked you??? Ok, they are on my list of not to buy from just on principle alone!! I have a bad one to add. I contacted this particular seller to ask where they get their pins because the auction states they are "selling a sick family members pin collection to raise money for medical costs" or something very similar to that, anyway I purchased from them last year and believed what I received was good, but this year I saw the same information on the auctions but the auctions were for brand new pins, pins that had JUST been released at DLR, so I asked where they were getting their pins. Well, they freaked out on me, called me all kinds of names and they were very rude. I won't buy from them because honestly, I feel they are lying about a sick family member, if they are not then I wish that person the best but it was just fishy what the auctions say and then the way they reacted when I asked my question. That seller is tecarroll. I will have some others to add soon I hope.

I have some info compiled in my other thread:
http://disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2141715 I didn't post the 'bad' sellers because in the larger e-bay thread people were calling it a 'witch hunt' when people posted the names of sellers who sold scrappers. I think we should post whatever information we have so that others don't make the mistake of spending money on scrapper pins. Here are the names of scrapper/questionable sellers from the old thread. Please remember that I've only had an experience with one seller. tradepinsforyou nannub bibbidi_bobbidi_boo_colectibles shells7pak tecarroll1964 Questionable: gordo1111 Tooninterior

That was a term someone used on our big huge eBay thread, they accused of making false accusing and "witch hunting" which clearly we were not doing because we all keep saying these are our experiences, and our opinions and we are not experts. Basically this person accused some of us (mostly lionqueen and myself) of being sellers bad mouthing other sellers to promote ourselves, which isn't the case, at this time I have sold NOTHING on eBay at all, only purchased. That's why are so careful to point out these are our opinions and experiences and we are not experts.
Anyway, I got some pins today from thewill and they are GREAT!! I even got some on the backers and the SKUs on the backers matched exactly what pin pics said they would be....so unless he's really good at selling fakes, I believe in what he's selling. altho how he gets them, so many and so cheap I don't know....

bibbidi_bobbidi_boo_colectibles is no longer registered under that name, but they are still on. I believe this person(s) has had multiple identities.
I have followed their sales and their pins are junk. All come in little baggies, apparently has hundreds of thousands of the same pins (red flag!!!) and they smell funny. I have never had a real pin smell the way these ones do! And no, I don't sniff them!! You can smell them as soon as you open the box! I got taken under one of their identities before I knew better! |

How do you know what a scrapper is? I feel like this is a silly question to ask, but we have purchased some pins from Ebay in the past and did not have any problems, they were the authentic Disney pins. Is it an obvious difference in looks??

ETA: Also, if a seller sells a very high volume of pins at a very low price, they are probably scrappers, and if a seller sells a lot of duplicates, they are also probably scrappers.
