“How do I know this isn’t a scam?”

-Of course I realize how bad it looks for a total stranger to show up and ask for your money, especially without having a product in hand. As is such, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to ensure you feel safe giving me your money, be it giving you my personal cell phone number, home address, taking a picture of the Earth Badge with your name behind it, you name it. My aim screen name is Zbn1, my email is pkmnbadges@aol.com (please don't use the zbn1 one, its my personal email and I try to keep this project separate!). I'm on just about every day, so I should be able to get you a fast answer. And I AM aware of the community's rules about paypal disputes, and the consequences of not posting the proof of order as I receive it.



“Can I get pictures of the other badges?”

-Afraid not, like I said above these are very expensive to make without a group backing you, and that was something I didn’t have when I set out to produce the first batch of Earth Badges. I lost around $117 making 25 of them, though some of that I managed to get back by selling them to some friends. The best I can offer at this time is the concept art for the other 7, as well as for the Earth Badge (so you can see how the transition from design to reality works out)

“So you only have the Earth Badge right now?”

-Sadly. You’re essentially paying for a pre-order here, which is why I really am going out of my way to try to make you feel safe giving me your money.

“How are you doing payment? What kind of shipping do you offer?”

-Almost all of my payments have been done through paypal, though I have had a few people express interest in using a different method. I’m flexible, so long as the money gets to be before the deadline. As for shipping, I’ve been asking for $2.50 for a padded envelope or $5 for a small box, and $15 to countries outside the US. If for any reason those prices aren’t okay with you, just talk to me. Oh, and that $15 international rate is based off a flat rate box. I know NOTHING about shipping out of the country, so if you can help me find a cheaper method I'll be happy to lower the price for ya.

“What kind of back do the badges have?”

-I don’t know the technical term for it, but they have this kind of back.

(I just found some random image that had the same kind)

***now you can just scroll up and see that image!

“Where are the designs for the badges?”

-Why, right here!

“Are you planning on doing any of the later generation’s badges after this?”

-Depends on how well this goes. If I make my 40 set mark and don’t lose any money, then yeah I could see myself doing Johto and beyond on the future. If not, then I wouldn’t hold my breath.
