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 a Trading Moderator. We can try to 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:

Just a general reminder - If you are experiencing difficulty with a trade at our site, feel free to contact a Trade 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.

i would say the same mate, as both there locations are Newcastle upon Tyne and like you say the same picture

send ebay a message as they should be able to check there details, not sure on ip address but as long as you paid by paypal you should be fine.

I always use my credit card for high value steelbooks on ebay now that way my cc company can cancel the transaction and return the funds to my account quicker than paypal.

to be fair the price i paid was pretty cheap. i have tried sending ebay a message twice to let them know about this seller but both times they send me an automated response stating that there link isn't working :angry: people are bidding on this now too

sent the seller a message asking if both accounts are same seller.

Here is his reply:

all you have to do is bid a large amount so nobody gets ripped off then leave negative feedback :naughty:

hey guys, a couple of members have been pm'ing about this guy to me.

he was able to gain access to the trading forum and approach some of you via trades, even though he didn't have the number of posts required.

Mehdi brought it to my attention that this same user has been suspected on other forums and youtube of some wrong doing.

He's been banned in the short term, but I wanted to make you all aware.

It appears he approached me for IM2 mini GB and his location showed Germany. Good thing we suspected him in the first place!

what a loser, the guy with the ebay name mitchnufc_2009 still hasn't dispatched the item to me I'm going to raise it with ebay unfortunately.

i wish i could get my hand on him and tell him what i think of him

waste of my time
 
DVDsammlerNRW is NOT Fast Eddie, it's another guy and he really is in Germany.

Edit: I've just remembered something ironic. Fast Eddie actually claimed he got scammed by DVDsammlerNRW for $300 :hilarious:
