Concerns over an ebay seller

I have a few concerns over an ebay seller whom I recently won an auction on. They have almost all good feedback, but those negative reviews have me concerned. The pins are on their original cards and I have not yet had a chance to look at them closely, but the same pins just showed up again in separate auctions. I don't know if they just might have a couple extras or if something more nefarious is going on. I can pm anyone who would be willing to give some insight. Thank you!

EDIT: The issue has been resolved! Thank you everyone for your help!

Best thing to do is stay off eBay when it comes to pins. Can't risk it.

unfortunately ebay is the only place I can get them due to almost no pinpics trade replies, I live too far away from any of the parks to visit them regularly, and I can never seem to get a day off when trade conventions come to town. I have had plenty of great ebay pin transactions that highly outnumber the bad, very few scrappers and almost all of my grails have been acheived that way. Unless a Disney pin selling site comes along that is popular enough to use, besides DPF, I really have no choice.

Sending a pm to both of you right now.
 
Does the seller's name start with the 4th letter of the alphabet and end with good?

In that case, that is a bad seller.

Nope, but thanks for the update. I have been told by some users that the person I bought then from is known for selling fakes so I'll send them back if they turn out to be so.
 
Sadly those three you've listed have all been scrapped.
I think there are a couple of threads about the WDI Rapunzel at Disneyland set. To the best of my knowledge, only a couple from that whole set haven't been scrapped.
All of the Paris Christmas PTN logo pins have been scrapped and I think the other pins from that release have been too. If a Paris pin does not have a sequential LE number on the back then that's a sign of a scrapper.
And the DSF poster pin has been sold multiple times for low prices so that's been scrapped too

its really disappointing that so many Rapunzel pins are faked now
 
The best way to check is to look at sold listings - the PTN pins show up a lot and have only been selling for a couple of dollars.
The same with the DSF poster and the WDI carousel horse one - lots of sales and lots of current listings.

I search ebay pretty much daily for Rapunzel/Tangled items so I see a lot of the scrapper pins listed
 


96589 is the DSF - Circus Poster Series - Rapunzel? I'll send you a pm if it's not a problem!
 

Thank you for letting me know, I just received the pins in the mail and I wont even bother posting photos, I can tell they are all fakes. I will be returning them.
Thank you everyone for your help and concern!
