BAD TRADE (podms) NEED ADVICE

If you use Paypal for labels (and I do) it is only $1.64 incl. delivery confirmation. Why take chances ?

Agreed! C'mon people, this is the 21st century.
Traders will rip you off as much as they when they get the chance.

Happened to me on a multi trade. I sent an ENTIRE Haunted Mansion Queue set.
They never responded to me. After a while I started receiving TA requests from them but they never responded either.
I haven't contacted PinPics because I didn't keep the e-mails. They're long gone. Oh well. :'(

This is how I do all mine, I thought everyone did! Except I do mine from work, but other than that, same thing.

You can also get Avery labels that are the size & shape of the shipping labels that print, so that you don't have to tape them on. Those are a bit expensive though, and kind of annoying because it's two labels to a sheet but I haven't figure out how to make paypal *not* print the receipt part on the bottom half, so it wastes a label every time. (USPS.com lets you print without the receipt part, but they won't let you do First Class online, so I only use USPS.com when I want to send by Priority Mail.)

For the longest time we couldn't figure out how to make PayPal stop printing the receipt part onto the second label until we realized it's in the settings area! LOL!

Sorry for being off topic, but how do you check the reference?? I've traded and people said they added a reference to me. I don't know how to check it/find mine or anybody else's. Please help.

There is a link titled "Dizpin News". Here you can go to the old Dizpin database. One of the tabs at the top will say "Reference Center". Click that link, and it will direct you to where you can either check references or add a reference using the other trader's email.

Here is the direct link to the ref center: http://www.rnrcollectables.com/referencemain.htm Hope this helps!

Thank you so much!!!
 
if it is coming from over seas (the UK) it can take a month, to get over to the US. the mail has been pretty quick recently though so I hope you guys who are trading with us over here get your pins soon <3! I have had 2 lots of pins go missing this year (one from pinpics, one from ebay) both went through New york mailing office (its weird!) Maybe they just don't like to deliver to the UK in new york? XD! Either way sometimes stuff just goes missing.

I'm sorry the trader wont respond to you though :(! I hope it gets resolved soon and you get your peter!

unfortunately this option isn't available in th UK or europe yet, apparently they are bringing it in soon (yay!) Other wise I have to rely on good old british mail and their rippoff mailing costs (£3.80 for 1 pin rawar!)
 
I really hope you will get your pin soon, I always send straight when the trade is made or the day after.
Sometimes I forget to tell that I've mailed the pin but I'm making so many trades that I sometimes can't take care of all the PM's lol
So anyone who I've traded with all your pins are on their way ;)

I agree with Gillian. I do use tracking numbers, but unless it's discussed and agreed to, it's not okay to intentionally send your pin after the other person! That's called holding pins hostage and in my book is a no-no.

I'm sorry this happened to you! I made a trade within the last month and the other person has received their pin, but I've yet to receive theirs. They've keep in contact at least, but it's still disappointing. Even if they send my pin back, I still paid money to ship them my pin in the first place. =/

Hi,
If this in ref to our trade (if not sorry) your pin was sent out on 20th july 2012 a day after we traded and also we have been in touch about it and I asked you to give it until next week , the robin hood limited uk edition 88269 I sent you (for the oswald pin which I recieved) had a reciept and I have sent a copy to pin pics and have a copy for anyone who want to see it sooo before you jump the gun and say anything about me I take pride in my postage and sometimes these things can go wrong so please pm me before trying to publicly say I am doing something wrong. Also I have lost postage as well as a really good pin!!!!!

Just a tip for future trades on pin pics, I never send mine out until I get a tracking number from the person I'm trading with .

I've had a couple of people do something similar. They held their pin hostage until they received mine. That works great if I'm not leaving town in a week or if I don't need their pin to complete another trade. What bothered me is that in both cases neither told me they were doing that until after they got my pin.
 
Thanks for all the advice everyone. Here is what I have done so far:
live sent emails to the person
sent a pinpics a notice

Now what just play the waiting game or is their more I should be doing?
 
Hi
You guys should file fraud charges..Dawn especially you..I do not if it would work overseas
I bought pins from someone in Texas off Dizpins a couple years ago,they cashed my check
and I never got my pins..so I filed charges at www.fraug.org 2 weeks later I had my money back
And that happened with a trade too..I got my pin back..

For now, aside from letting the other trader know that you have contacted Pinpics about the trade, I would just keep all emails of the trade on file and do what the Pinpics mods ask of you. They are pretty good about resolving disputes on trades done through them. Best of luck!!

Hi,
I hope you get a response its a crappy way to treat people.
I have been talking with pinpics mods today for the first time ever (I ve been pin trading for around 2-3 years now) and they seem fair enough.
Its hard waiting for things to happen , hope it gets sorted for you :)
 
i just don't understand why can't people just BE RESPONSABLE and act like adults, seriously, i can not go to sleep knowing i owe someone something, it kills me, that is why when people tell me to get a pin and they will work something out later one for it, i can't take it because i feel like the pin is not mine until i have give them something back(unless it is a gift). all i can say, is stay positive and hopeful that this person acts like a person and sends you your pin soon, but do file complain and stuff with pinpics... hope everything gets sorted out soon. :)

Hi ,
Yeah I feel the same way I hate thinking someone never got the pin I sent (that is what I am going through at the moment and its the first time its happened) I personally off my own back sent a receipt to pin pics just so my trader knows I sent the pin and We can sort it out like adults.
I think its worse when a trader doesn t communicate thats is far worse , yeah I agree you have to stay calm and hopeful :)
 
'Taint me in TX either, as I don't sell pins. I'm a trade only gal. My old email has 10 YEARS worth of references. Email changed in May & can't get ref mod to merge my 2 accounts..Anyway-
Rather than diparage pin pics, I think it is important to communicate FREQUENTLY w a pin pics OR a forum trade. Agree on dates to mail & stick to that! Of course things do happen to delay, & that should be communicated. I also think holding pins hostage: not mailing until they have mailed or you actually get the pin is very bad form. Personally, I am usually less likely to trade w that person again!

I love using paypal shipping labels. So inexpensive, and the delivery confirmation is automatically included for free. I almost always bring them down to the post office just to make sure they are manually scanned, but dropping them in the mailing boxes works as well (they just don't always show up as fast).

I'm so sorry to hear about your trading issues, dawny and kpchow. :( It is just absolutely sickening when someone betrays your trust and ends up not holding up their end of the deal- especially after you give them benefit of the doubt time and time and time again. My trade issue happened in the middle of June- I sent my pin the day we agreed on the trade and they received it one or two days afterwards. My pins never came and communication has all together ceased about 2 weeks ago. Really took the fun out of trading for a while for me >.<

I hope you guys get your pins back!! <3

Oh Story holy poop...id be mad and sad....i will trade with you and send you a consolation goody,,PM me. xo

And for whomever asked (i forgot) you print at home, tape on your lable (ya need scissors and packing tape) and then drop it in any mailbox. You need to get to a box pretty qqucik. The PO says Same day, but sometimes i go within 1-2 days...(yeh i suck) never had a problem and it made trading SOOOO much better and cheaper. Shout out to Nikki who turned me onto this. forever in your debt.
