How much is enough to say you got a bad trader? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

pielpr · 03-15-2008, 07:57 AM

Once again, I need your help here, people: I was wondering how much will you take before posting a bad trader's nick or info...I started a trade with a guy over 2 months ago. I sent everything within a week. He said he had everything ready, but time passed and nothing arrived. I emailed the guy a few times until he replied saying the parcel must be lost. Another 3-4 weeks have passed and nothing. I've asked several times for the tracking number, but he's never produced any. I emailed the guy 2 days ago and he hasn't replied to my message. Should I post the guy's info?

robyrob · 03-15-2008, 03:15 PM

can you forward the info to me first?

I admire your patience .... I however, would have him exposed after 2 weeks of him having received my end of trade.

I understand some new people are scared to post negative feedback because of reputation or of fear of not getting anything back if the complaint escalates in public - BUT, look at where you are now ... 2 months and nothing and in the meantime some others may have been taken advantage of by the same person. Sometimes you have to take the bullet.

definitely 2 months with nothing is too long to wait for something, you can bring it to my attention first before going public with it, to try and see if the trade can be salvaged.

if a package gets "lost", a tracking number should be provided - especially if someone is claiming to have resent it.

if they won't respond to a moderator's attempts to fix the situation, then by all means you should go public as other traders should be aware of a situation with a possible bad trader.

i had the same problem i waited and waited i reported him and he is now banded later i found out things about him that i should not put on the this sight but it was bad what he was doing.

I agree with Joker. You have been more than patient. You've done all you can on your end. And I give you props for waiting so long. I wouldn't have.

Thanks to all of you. I'm going to forward the info first to the moderator and we'll see his decision.

I had that problem and then I came out with his name and address and all of a sudden he gets back with me and tells me that it must have gotten lost in the mail. I ended up getting my part of the trade.

Just go and out him where he hangs out. If he comes through with his end of the trade then you can say so in the thread you start.

Ok, 2 more weeks and not a sinlge word. Even with the moderator's intervention. The guy's nick is Bman.

I once had to wait about 55 days for a package from a canadion trader! and she said that she had to wait even longer for mine, although I sent before she did!

so, sometimes it really can take that long I guess..

this thread reminds me, I got a bad trader to report...

THANK YOU!!!! you just saved another trader...... ME!

I've had something lined up with this person for about a week and a half now (nothing sent, but a trade worked out).

You might have saved me a real headache.

Cheers! this round's on me.

Well I need to speak up then.

I actually traded b-man over november-

I sent him Webster complete- immediately.

He told me he sent wayans brothers complete, after a few weeks went by and I didn't recieve it- I let him know.

he told me he entrusted its shipping to a family member and they didn't send it- obviously that is an issue between he and them.

He was going to remake the set-and send it.

That set he redid, didn't have a season in it- he said some discs were bad- he was getting a replacement.

Another month went by- he said his wife had a baby, he was behind- but would get it out.
However, he did post looking for a trade the same week he told me he was behind in shipping (shrug)

Then he shipped the season, which never came.
2 more weeks went by he said it must have gotten lost. He would redo it. But had no confirmation number-

After another month i wrote him and said forget it, the entire wait was november till january - and after 3 months, it never got resolved- I would find it elsewhere.

I didn't consider him a "bad" trader by typical standards, but I admit, I have had other complaints about delays, and complaints of wait time/excuses given that make received a long process

The bottom line is, several people have dealt with this person and received nothing. One person not receiving something is fairly common, but when it happens to other people too.... scam!
