And as an aside, I personally NEVER trust an ebayer that only accepts money orders. The buyer has no recourse if the item isn't as described or never shows. Well, technically they could go to the cops but that's pretty fruitless.

For instance, this seller sold an ADPi badge. http://cgi.ebay.com/Alpha-Delta-Pi-P...QQcmdZViewItem
It sold for $61, even though it was plain, because the listing asserted that the badge was 103 years old. However, the "04" had to have been for 2004 - ADPi did not exist under the name ADPi until 1913.

So some poor buyer was led to believe that they were buying a pin with over 100 years worth of history. They have no recourse against the seller because they paid by money order. If you pay by paypal, you have a level of protection, and if you pay by credit card you have another layer of protection.

So not only is this person selling pins of their own orgs, they are ripping off members of other orgs by blatantly misrepresenting their pins.
