CURRENT Good/Bad Internet and eBay Pin Sellers

[Sphinx610]

Another thumbs up for beekerlg from me! Fast shipping, accurate description... Pin seems authentic I read the scrapper description on pinpics and this one has the correct colorings and markings

 

[Sphinx610]

Got my pins today and went through all of them, at least half are scrappers based on pinpics. Some I counldn't tell. I know about 7 of the 50 are def. good ones.
Emailed the ebay seller to let them know I am unhappy!

That's a bummer...

I can't say enough good things about Bizzybee1. I received an order from her (?) today, the 4th one I've placed in the past year. She sells booster sets and in her listing she states that they are authentic. The boosters come in their original packaging, with the price tag. I bought the lots of 25 for $49.95 and free shipping, so only $2 a pin! They are perfect trading pins for my kids. This time I ordered 2 lots of 25 and did not have any duplicates. I'm very happy with this seller and she is my go-to person for lots of trading pins.

I bought from them before I found this too. They are beyond unpleasant to deal with. I think I got 3 good pins out of the 50 I bought. I wish I had seen this list sooner. Well I took the backs off the pins and made them into magnets for my children. So that's something that can be done with scrappers!

Thank you for posting this. I was looking at her (?) listings last night. I will definitely buy from her!

I would like to buy some pins to get my kiddos trading for our next trip in about a year. I am not an frequent e-bay user and I tried searching using the usernames given throughout this thread and I every time the search results come back with nothing. When I search "Disney Pins" all I get are the "lots" all of which are sold by "red" users. Any tips for me?

Thanks!

You have to type it in the search field like this...
Seller:beekerlg
Or whoever you want to search for...

I had some success copying the entire green list from the first page and putting it into the seller box... Interestingly enough, I still got sellers I didn't search for... Ebay must not have a very good search engine powering it...

Don't be afraid to ask sellers if they are willing to ship international. A lot of jsellers will work with you!

Thanks. My fear of buying from the US is that if you exceed the customs limit which you are allowed to receive from the US (I think it is £15 ish and this includes P&P; you not only have to pay the VAT but Royal Mail charge you an £18 admin fee.

I am having a hard time reading through some of these. I have been an avid pin trader for YEARS and the quality of pins coming out of the actual retail establishments of Disney has taken a NOSE DIVE. To read through these and accuse people of selling BAD PINS when NO ONE can be 100% sure of authenticity makes me ill. I understand that there are sellers on ebay that sell scrapper pins, and I am not refuting that point....but MANY of the TRUE AUTHENTIC PINS NOW HAVE JAGGED EDGES, DIPPS IN PAINT, BRUSH STROKED IN THE ENAMEL AND DO NOT HAVE THE BOARDER OF MICKEY' HEAD ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE BACK OF THE PIN.

Businesses are HURTING now from threads like these. I know it's human nature to warn people of danger. I don't want to waste money any more then the next person. But I PLEA to you, if the sellers don't have a return/refund policy....then DON'T BUY from them...if they do, what do you have to lose? I have purchased from sellers on the good AND the bad list. There are some of your "Bad List" sellers who send out great pins that seem just as legit as the next one. And what does it take to be on that good and bad list of yours? ONE person saying they had a bad experience? If we all went on ONE good or bad experience then EVERY place would be out of business because there are a lot of people that arn't happy no matter WHAT you do...and these are the people depriving you of a great deal?? How does that make sense??

There would be an explanation on the FIRST THREAD of these "Good and Bad Seller" lists that that it is the OPINION of the people purchasing, not the end all-be all that people on the "GOOD" list ONLY sell "great pins" and the people on the "BAD" list only sell scrappers.

If it is that big of a deal to you, they only buy directly from Disney when you are at the parks, or on the cruise line. Otherwise, you are paying a discounted price, you are taking that risk. Why so shocked when you don't get $15 a piece pins in lots of 25 for $10 TOTAL???? Makes no sense to me.

Just curious, why is rosethorns! highlighted in red in the first post?

The sellers highlights in green are good sellers based on people's experiences.
But if you want to be overly sure, buy brand new booster packs. There are eBay sellers that sells these unopened booster packs for $2/pin. They're for sure authentic pins. Unless the scrappers producers decides to go high end and start producing and packaging them just like Disney's authorized sellers.

I bought some pins on ebay the other day and, of course, I than find this thread. Boy, was I worried as my seller was not on the green list, Dangel59. Got my pins today and I am so happy they are perfect, just as they were descripted and the shipping was super fast. But next time I will be checking the list to see if the seller is on the green list. I would buy from this seller again!

Thank you for this post! Ive just started collecting pins and I just placed my 2nd order on EBAY and of course, I find this thread the day after but I am certainly happy I found it. Neither sellers I bought from are on the list (not sure whether that is a good thing or a bad thing) but I am happy that I will be able to check up on the next pins I purchase. Thank you again.
