Have the Spherical Rapunzel and Ariel pins 103817 + 103820 been faked

[FloFlo71]

There is an ebay seller on .co.uk who seems to be selling multiples of pins very cheaply. Mostly low value, but now these spherical pins have appeared and as soon as the ariel one sold (pretty cheap) it was up for sale again. They have card backs with them, I assume this would make them deliberate fakes?

Picture of the pin from the listing?

I'm too new to post photos. There is one photo for each pin, just of the pin from the front. It isn't the photos that make me suspicious it is the amount of multiple pins for sale. As soon as one sells they put up another the same.

Yes, I believe caution is most definitely in order. The bad sellers, might have gotten a "new" batch, because there aren't too many sold listings yet, but....

The "cold" seller many of us track currently has 5 Rapunzel for sale, and sold 5 more in August.

The former "not mrs, now alien" ebay seller, many of us track currently has 2 Ariel, 1 Elsa, 1 Rapunzel for sale.

There is another seller, I believe to be selling counterfeits/scrap/overruns (think villain from Sleeping Beauty). He has sold 2 Ariels, and current listings are 1 each for Ariel, Rapunzel and Elsa
