Bad Pin Pics Trade :(

[maxtrexmom]

About a week ago I posted pics on here of a pin I received in trade and everyone agreed it was definitely fake. I traded 92675 Dopey Vinylmation for 74490 Tourist Club Penguin. I contacted to trader and sent pics to her so she could see how bad the back looked in case she had somehow missed it or just wasn't aware.

Her response:

Did not know the pin was a fake. I will return #92675 Dopey when I receive. If you would return so that I could see my mistake.

My problem with her response is the "when I receive" part. My tracking # says the pin was delivered May 23rd and her email was sent on the 25th. . So I responded back to her:

Did you not receive it yet? The tracking number says it was delivered on the 23rd.

That was 8 days ago and I haven't heard back from her. What should I do now? I wasn't even going to insist on trading back since neither of the pins were super valuable. I just wanted her to at least acknowledge the fake so she'd be aware for future trades, although I have a hard time believing someone could think this pin was authentic because it looks SO bad. The person I traded with has TONS of references. At least 3x as many as I do. I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but I feel like I am being taken advantage of. Before this I have only had good experiences trading through Pin Pics so I'm not sure how to handle it from here. Any advice?

Is she also on here? If so you could bring it up to one of the mods. If not then you could try emailing her again and if she still doesn't reply then file a complaint at dizpins. It isn't because of the value of the pin, but if she is doing this to others she should not be allowed on pinpics.

These kinds of posts make me scared of trading on pin pics. Although, i have not had any issues with it before.

So sorry that it happened to you! Pin karma will be good to you in future trades, for sure!

I have been trading on Pinpics for 5 years and luckily have only been burned 3 times. I love to trade and refuse to trade scrappers. I have a couple of pins from your want list if you would be interested in a trade...
