EBay.... How to guide: surviving your eBay purchasing experience.
When you are looking at a pin for sale on eBay, what do you look for as a sign of a safe buy VS an unsafe buy?
I will add people comments to the list here in the OP so that newer folks can see what to watch for.
good signs/safe seller:
Bad signs/ unsafe seller:
This is an information gathering thread. I am totally cool with all opinions, and some debate.... Just dont attack other people's opinions. Keep it polite if you disagree. DPF rules state no links, so no links for examples. If the thread seems to be going well, and is informative, we can ask for it to be stickied later.
Thank you in advance for all input!!!!

- Pictures of actual pin(s) for sale.

Bad signs/ unsafe seller:
- Pictures of random "lot" but not of pins actually being sold.
- prices putting pins under $1.00 each in a lot.
- feedback score less than 99.7% can indicate problems.
- Feedbacks with negative comments.
- ANY pins for sale that are known counterfeits.
- multiple times selling the same low LE over and over.
- descriptions that are suspicious: See comment/reply #8 below.
