Buying pins on ebay

[dhidra]

I think I'm going to have a go at pin trading. Can anyone recommend a seller on eBay for starting off my collection?

Oh how exciting, I love collecting pins but usually get too attached to trade any!
Unfortunately I don't have any advice but would love to know the answer to your question!

I'm starting to buy a few pins for my girls when we go. There is a section on the forum dedicated to pin collecting. I can't post a link because I dont have 10 posts yet but there is a great post regarding pins and ebay and best sellers to buy from!

Are you on facebook? there is lots of uk based groups for pin trading and people selling. There is tons of fake pins about on ebay, please be very careful. But if you are set to buy on ebay, go for a good seller, look at the items, there feedback etc. If pins don't look right, then there more and likely to be fake

here is some links to the facebook groups, there is lots of good info on there to read. Me being a pin trader, I hate getting fake pins in a trade, and im sure you will too, so please be careful with ebay.

Good ebay sellers that sell real pins;

But PLEASE PLEASE don't go for something like this;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Disney-Tr...Collectables_Disneyana_EH&hash=item460fa10a11
these will more and likely be fake pins, when I first started I bought from a listing like this and when I got to Disneyland I realised they were fake comparing them to others

Pin trading is not a cheap hobby, but if you are willing to pay for real pins, then you will be able to get some good trades
