I was talking about the Duffy PTN Pin I might get when I go to WDW in November, and I got an offer for the pin since I don't exactly love Duffy. Anyway (back to the point), I want to know if trading via DPF if safe, and how does it work? As you can probably tell by now, I'm totally a newbie and only know trading if it's in the parks. Thanks!

The DPF community is in general the safest online place for trading. At least thats what I have noticed. Because negative feedback can be left on a persons itrader ratings, folks are very careful to make sure they trade properly.

Not that we dont in general trade honestly and fairly. It is a community, and those who are bad traders, usually vanish fairly quickly.

With that said, heres how you look up someone to see if they have positive feedback on DPF:

Go to the clicky toolbar below the big picture at the top.
click on itrader.
there is a search area to the right of the screen, type in the user screen name and search.
click on the name to view profile, you can also then view feedback.

Now, you can also just click to view someones profile if you are reading a reply, or a PM... For instance my profile, and thus feedback score, can be seen by simply clicking my user name to the left over there. If you are nervous, just view their feedback, if there is little or no feedback you have options such as moderator shipping or meeting up in some cases.

I do most of my trading here on DPF, even though I visit DLR regularly, have a pinpics ID. DPF has had the best memeber response rate, the safest and fastest shipping from the members, and the most fair trade agreements. I have yet to be "sharked" here, or recieve a scrap or counterfiet. I love it here.
 
Yeppum...I would trade with you,as I do with all newbies...I only trade here I barely do through Pinpics unless I know the person is a member here
Or I will send them our wayother than that trade away..your newness will wear off real soon!
 
Thanks! Everyone has been really nice so far. I hope to get the feel of things soon enough. Maybe I'll try a trade after my next trip to WDW so I have a fresh haul of traders. Thanks for being so helpful!
 
I trade on here and through pinpics. I've gotten screwed over on pinpics before but never on here. Like Psycho Pixie said, bad traders do not last long on here.
 
I have traded on here and never had any problems *touch wood*. I have used pinpics twice and not had an issue. Though usually I see if I recognise member names from here. I do prefer using DPF as you can see feedback
