[ilovetivo]

thank you!!

I just got my pins from Mouse Pins Online yesterday and they look great to me. Of course I will scrutinize a little closer but they were great looking shiny pins. None of them looked junked or scratched. One of the pins I already had and it's identical to the pin I received in the grab bag.

I looked at the list on the 1st page and briefly at the last couple of pages and didn't see anyone mention Elisabeth Turner or 423disneypinfreak. Does anyone have any information on either one of these sellers? Sorry I didn't have time to read all the pages to see if they are listed else where.

Thanks for any information you may have.

Did anyone notice that nannub changed his name to parrotsandpins ? His store is still called nannubsdizpinz but his ebay ID has been changed...

Are you guys serious? Do you think nannub is a guy? LOL its a woman number one! Number 2 you dont like their pins thats great but its out right slander to say all their pins are fake or knock offs. If you go through disney world right now all you see is crap pins... sellers from all over the country are slinging crappy pins. You follow their screen names with changes? Are you this lowly! I really dont care what you think about me but I atleast think the truth should come out. Nannub hasnt even traded pins since october. I know this because i have talked to her and she is getting out of her collection.... You need to relax because each and everyone of you knows that they buy cheap [pins. I do! I know that nannub supports over 50 sellers on ebay and the funny part is 13 of the green listed are her customers.

You saw that, lol
I don't want to get into the middle of anything ~ I was just sharing something I had found while shopping on eBay the other day ~~ I know that this thread is all about keeping interested parties informed so I was just adding to it
I have never said who to buy from or not ~ it's each individual's choice ~~ I know there are crappy pins out there on eBay and on lanyards ~~ you never know what you're getting or where it's come from ~ unless you buy it from Disney, and even then it comes from the same factories that make the scrappers in China ...

You obviously didn't read everything we said about nannub....and I've PURCHASED from this seller previously...so yes, I'm pretty sure I know about this seller from MY OWN EXPERIENCE. All I've ever posted is MY OWN EXPERIENCE......that's all any of us are posting.
No one is slandering anyone, we are simply giving feedback on OUR EXPERIENCES, that's all. And yes, if we notice a s/n change we post it, why is it bad to protect ourselves and our hard earned money?

this thread has seriously taken some of the fun out of pin trading for me. How do I know now that the pin I paid $5,$6,or$7 from WDW is is not being traded for a 2 cent scrapper off a CM's lanyard?

You don't know ~~ so just look at the pin and make sure it looks nice ~ and if it does and you like it trade for it and who cares! That's what I do

I am having an intresting experience on EBAY with Seller THEWILL
I read alot of people have had good experience with him and think his pins are legit... SO I've been bidding on his pins. I have lost ALL of the auctions to a U**D (since u can no longer see other bidders names this is what I see) anyway.... I am now being offered second chance offers from theWill within a day of my not winning the Pins... I have gotten SEVERAL second chance offers now on everything I have bid on. So I am guessing he is trying to bid up his items. Honestly they are still cheap and I don't CAre... But I thought you All might want to know and didnt know if you wanted to flag him for this. I am still purchasing the pins.
Thanks!

That sounds for sure like he is bidding on his own items. Is the winner always the same person ?
You should definitely call eBay and report that possibility ~ they will investigate.
Thanks for letting us know!​

Ya, its the same bidder... UGH

It is possible (but admittedly unlikely) that this is a legit transaction. U**D may have bid on a bunch of pins but refused to pay, or not be willing to pay via PayPal, or whatever.
Then the seller would have a legitimate reason to offer a second chance. It's also possible that the seller has multiple items and is avoiding e-bays fees by doing a second chance as opposed to re-posting and paying the fees. I'm not sure how that works, though.

If I were you, I'd report it here: http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportItemMember and mention that you aren't sure, but you were suspicious since it was the same member that outbid you each time.
I'm not sure if e-bay will let you know the result of their investigation.

Just my 2cents. I kind of want to bid on his auctions now to see if that U**D gets involved again.

 

[Jenn4615]

Thats what I thought at first... But I bid over a few days and he would bid right after me...and I had already recieved second chance offers on the other pins U**D had bid on...

 

[lauramae76]

I also had this happen to me on ebay. I reported it higher up people. The item I was bidding on was outback steakhouse coupons. What I was told from ebay it was the same person.

 

[earthfaries]

You should definitely report it ~ and let eBay investigate it from there ~ it can't hurt ~ only help protect other buyers

I thought you might be interested in a personal experience I recently had on ebay. A month or two ago I asked this board who they would recommend for Disney trader pin for my grandkids. I have a 5 year old granddaughter and a 7 year old grandson from my oldest boy. They were planning a trip to Disneyland and I thought I would surprise them with a gift from nana. That is what they call me. They are so cute.

I was referred to the sellers in green on the first page of this board. I ended up bidding on several lots from parrotsandpins. This seller was not listed, but the pins pictured looked like Disney pins and the prices were affordable for someone who is on social security.

I ended up winning a lot of 100 pins for around $55. Being a novice on ebay, I had trouble figuring out how to pay for the items and sent the seller several notes to that effect. I finally ask my son to help me and we paid for the pins four days after I won them.

A day or two later, I sent the following note to the seller: “Have you shipped these items yet? If not, please ship tomorrow. I need these for my grandkids and they are going to Disneyland on Tuesday.” This was his reply, and I quote: “you took 4 days to pay. we ship within 3 business days after payment is clear. maybe you should have paid sooner. if you have a problem i would be happy to refund your money for all your items. let me know”

I sent a note back to please ship the pins and then also paid for the two other items I had won. Later that day I noticed that parrotsandpins had refunded all my payments. I sent a note asking why and this is the reply received “we are not dealing with you”.

He provided no explanation and ignored my other emails. I have never been so offended in my life. Naturally I left him negative feedback. He replied to my feedback saying that I had several items that I had not paid for and called me a deadbeat.

I think he was referring to the one lot of 100 pins I won earlier but never paid for. I bid on a lot of pins and won while I was hospitalized from a fall I had (I am 83 years old). I was not released until after the seller filed and closed a nonpayment claim on me. I did not even know I won the lot until after the claim was closed.

Then I come to find out that parrotsandpins is nannub by reading the postings on this board, a seller who does not seem to be well respected by most. anotherpinforme, you may defend her, but after my experience, nannub is not a very nice person. She is nasty and vindictive. I was very surprised to find out she is a she. I cannot imagine a lady being so mean and rude to people.

Anyway, I am glad that so many are trying to help those of us who do not know about the sellers on eBay. Thank you all. I personally will never again bid on anything that nanub or parrotsandpins has for sale. I will definitely only buy in the future from those who are recommended.

I do have one question that maybe the members of this board can help me with. I won another item from parrotsandpins that I had bid on before this fiasco but ended on Monday. I am worried that if I pay for the item she will just keep my money and not ship the item. I cannot afford to throw money away. What should I do?

I'm really surprised that the seller didn't cancel your bid, and block you. He/she has a history of doing that if you ask too many questions. I didn't even bid on anything, but I guess I questioned the authenticity of the pins and was told that he/she was banning me from bidding on their items. No worries for me!
I would go through ebay and just cancel it.
