Get ready to become a Trusted Trader in 2026!

[TheTwins]

Back in June 2025, PinPics launched the Trusted Trader program, and it's been a lot of fun (as well as inspiring some good-natured competition in the pin-trading community on the site). Each year, the program starts over -- so get ready to start earning your new badge in 2026!

 

 

Any PinPics member can join the fun and become a Trusted Trader. Earning your badge is as easy as 1-2-3! Well, it's actually more like 1-2-25. To become a Trusted Trader, you only need to receive 25 or more Positive Feedback ratings (per calendar year*) here on PinPics. Keeping track of that can be done in your account Profile under the Feedback tab. There's a nifty counter on the right, where you'll find your Feedback numbers for 3, 6, and 12 months. BUT, the pin is only earned once you've hit 25 positive FBs in a CALENDAR YEAR!

 

If you have received twenty-five positive feedbacks in the 2025 calendar year and have not requested your LE Trusted Trader pin, then now is the time to count up and request your badge! In order to qualify, please contact @TheTwins before January 31, 2026. After that, we will only be working on the 2026 program. Pin supply is limited.

*The slate is cleared every year on New Year's Day, and the fun begins again. Only one Trusted Trader pin per member per year.

** This badge must be earned and is only awarded to members who receive 25 positive feedbacks in a calendar year and have no Negative or Neutral feedbacks.

Time to get started on 2026, Happy New Years to all Pin Pics Traders

Happy New Year to the PIN PICS community. 

 

Time really does fly. Its been a year and a half since I started collecting and I feel so fortunate to have come across Pin Pics early on, a truly amazing community of people. A special thanks to John (d.ducks), Elizabeth and Sarah (TheTwins). I was extremely lucky to have been able to trade with them early on. Not only trading but their willingness to answer my questions and share their knowledge and experience. As a newbie like me that was invaluable and I shall always be grateful. 

 

Here is to 2026 and another exciting year of collecting and trading.

I’m working on my second trade, and loving it! My interaction so far I’ve been so warm and positive. I can’t wait to do more trades and perhaps become a trusted trader next year!

[StonedNinja]

I'm excited and stocking up with good traders and trades for everyone! It hasn't even been a full year for trading for me and I've met some great people and made some fun trades. Thanks again to everyone that has traded with me and guided me in the right direction. My most sincere apologies for any lopsided trade offerings I've ever made due to my lack of experience and knowledge My goal is a total of 100 positive feedbacks by the end of 2026
