I'm sorry you had such bad luck. Hong Kong sellers are often iffy. There are some good ones, but sadly most of them are not. Glad you got your money back.
Hi! This is my first post!
...
I wanted to say THANK YOU for this list of eBay sellers! We are taking our first family vacation to Disney World in September, and while I had heard about the popularity of trading pins, I didn't know anything about scrappers.
My question is, since this is our first trip, how many pins should I plan to trade? I have two daughters, ages 4 and 9. I'm guessing they might trade 3-4 per day? I really have no idea. My nine year old is pretty shy, and I'm worried that she'll be afraid to approach a cast member to trade, so I'm planning on having a lanyard with a few pins myself just so that I can break the ice and show them what to do. Thanks in advance!
First off, WELCOME!!
Secondly, I have found that pin trading was a great experience with my (used-to-be!) shy daughter. It helped that she could basically run through the same script every time, "Excuse me, may I see your pins?" At the beginning, we practiced it a couple of times, and I might facilitate the interaction by saying the "Excuse me" part, and then turn to her to finish it. The CMs usually picked up on her interest and her shyness right away, and they were great with her. I think it made for much better experiences than if I had said it all. If the CM was a little too enthusiastic and I could see that she didn't want to trade, I'd try to help her say, "Thank you, but you don't have anything I'm collecting." And an extra "Thank you for letting me look" for good measure. I tried to avoid CMs that looked really busy, and we only ever traded with CM's. All in all, I really liked how it improved her independence, both in terms of interacting with people, and making her own decisions about what to trade!
Hello
The sites you are on are operated by people who are fanatical about Disney pins and trading. I assure you that all the pins in your possession are 100% tradable. We do not sell scrappers, they are real and we stand behind our products. If you actually look at sites like pinpics, almost every pin that has been produced in the past 5 years can be a scrapper pin. We do not sell scrapper pins. The scrappers are made in China and they are way different from the pins we sell. We trade for the pins we sell from Disney. That being said we offer a 14 day return policy and I have not checked to see when you purchased the pins. I will be more than happy to give you a full refund because we want you to be happy with your purchase. If you are not happy with them after this message please return the order to

We also kindly ask that you change your feedback as you never even bothered to contact us for a solution.
Sincerely
Marty
Thanks. They're obviously out of there league and heavily outnumbered when it comes to it. The seller first tried attacking me, which I didn't appreciate and then sent me that wonderful message. I don't do harassment and they're bound to mess with the wrong person soon enough.Ummmm, all pins are made in China, legit or scrapped. Just so you know. And if I leave negative feedback I won't change it, if I feel the pins are scrappers then I feel others should be aware, just in case. I'm not an expert but I am pretty knowledgeable and I trust my own instincts when it comes to pins.
