It's Fund Raising time again!

(28 Sep 2009) Thank you to everyone who donated -- we have reached our goal for hosting fees for the next year. Here's hoping that everyone has another great year of pin trading!

Upcoming Trading Changes

It's with equal measures of sadness and optimism that we announce some upcoming changes to the pin trading facilities of Pin Pics. Our moderators are volunteers, and although we have been willing to help resolve pin trading disputes in the past, we can no longer for personal and legal reasons continue to do so.

The sad fact is that several scam artists continue to brazenly operate despite multiple bans, countless complaints, and several fraud reports to the authorities. There have even been some insinuations lately of Pin Pics' legal responsibilites as some members become increasingly desperate to seek some sort of resolution for these ongoing disputes.

Although we believe our position is well covered in our Terms of Use, it's clear the the complaints continue and the authorities are not able to resolve them. We try very hard to raise awareness about trading guildeless, reference centers, and third-party trades, yet members continue to get scammed.

We cannot continue in good conscience to operate in this way. As of August 1st, 2009, we will be shutting down the volunteer complaint department and begin work on a new Trade Assistant. Members will still be able to use the current Trade Assistant in the meantime due to overwhelmingly popular request, but we ask everyone to step up and take their own personal responsibility for trading safely until the new system is available.
