This thread has been created to provide insight for folks trading and buying. Sometimes knowing that a guy/gal has some or MANY successful trades/sales is good peace of mind.

IF THE PERSON DOESN'T HAVE LOTS OF GOOD TRADER RATING FEEDBACK, AND YOU DONT KNOW THEM, THEN PRIVATE MESSAGE DigitalBabe or APsmith21 ... We can get you the info you need to feel safe and or make a safe trade/purchase!

As we all know, trading is at your own risk. However, we are able to stop many deals from turning sour if you enable us. We have one bad person who has been a scam artist at many HT/Blu-ray sites besides ours.

**************************

The posts below are from when this was a Good Traders/Bad Traders list ... from the date this OP has been updated ... this thread will only serve as a Buyer Beware and Hall of Shame for those bad traders out there. If you need info on good traders view their trader rating under their avatar in the post bit (to the left) or PM a Mod.

I suggest you PM a mod for any deal over $75 if you dont know the person, regardless if they have 3 successful feedbacks etc. This is YOUR community as much as it is OURS, and we'll make the time everytime to make it as safe as possible for all.

Added 1/23/2012:

Hi All-just a general reminder-if you are experiencing difficulty with a trade at our site, feel free to contact a moderator, and we can provide suggestions on how to resolve the matter, if the trade took place at our site.

If, despite repeated attempts to resolve the trade/contact the trader, you do not receive any communication, or items, etc, please use the Feedback system in place at the site, or the rest of the community will not be aware of issues with traders. In addition, you have a limited time frame to file Paypal disputes, so please familiarize yourself with that process, just in case, to further protect yourself. In addition, the Staff will take action against accounts for repeat offenders if absolutely necessary.

Thanks all!

93Cobra Alert!

Hello Everyone,

It's Bluprint, and I wanted to alert you that notorious scammer Fast Eddie or "1quickgt" is back on Youtube. He recently was kicked off HiDefNinja.com under the user name "93Cobra" and has been reported and banned off many media forums including BD.com & eBay. Please be wary of trading or selling to any member who has an US address located in: Baltimore, Maryland (MD). Our community is often on Youtube and therefore we as neighbors the best thing we can do is alert eachother about potential threats no matter where they might be. So, I believe Fast Eddie or "93Cobra/1quickgt" is opperating under this youtuber tag: HorrorFan7771

Here is a link to his channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/HorrorFan7771

Just a heads up, didn't know exactly where to post this, feel free to move. Thanks.

How can this guy talk with a straight voice in these video's after continual scamming? Do people not have any level of decency anymore? DoucheEddie is the lowest of low. Where hasn't he scammed... bd.com, youtube, facebook, ebay, and apparently here too? or at-least im sure he tried.
 
A member here, galactus has been banned for sending items to a person that is not even a member of this board and was not expecting any packages.

Our current theory is that this user was attempting to build up some quick feedback on purchases and then use that feedback to take advantage of members here.

galactus was purchasing slipcovers at low prices, so this alert will be posted here and the steelbook forum.

Likely location for this user is in the Netherlands, was sending items to a person in Belgium.

Thanks to Pieter V for the heads up on this strange situation, if you have any outstanding purchases, put a claim in with paypal ASAP.
 
i don't udnerstand, how can you build up your feedback with sending items to random ppl they not even member here? i would like if someone ships me items without expecting ^^

this guy getting the items is a retiree - so let's say I buy 5 things for 2 euros, say they all arrived, and then I get positive buying feedback left on my trader account...without ever giving away my "real" address.

however, this retired person is maybe smarter than most and was able to provide Pieter with pictures of the package and they had a conversation back and forth.

so having said that, if this person didn't have e-mail or didn't use the computer or wasn't tech savvy, it might have been a different story.

in my example, for the cost of 10 euros I get 5 positive transactions and then one can create a trade thread with higher value items (like steelbooks) for sale.

pretty sneaky, wouldn't you say? ;)
 
yeah, unfortunately it throws that in place automatically and requires override. Should be fixed now.

Nothing wrong with joining any of his GBs or trade/sales.
 
Not sure if this is the right place. Cant seem to find the forum to list bad ebay buyers. Here is a guy from France.

Hello,
I understand I have no additional customs fees (38 euros)(42,86 dollars)for my package , it's not fair, it was not included in the transaction.
I do not agree to pay more.

He bought the HDzeta Interstellar boxset from me and now he doesnt agree to pay any fees that customs are requesting from him. I even lost money on postage sending it to him. It amazes me what people try to get away with these days.

Within 30 min of posting this got another person from UK doing the same thing on different marketplace. Hmmm. This is the first time ever in 5 years I have had even one person pull this and now 2 in one day within an hour.
