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.

Ya he is trying to set up a trade with me, Rambo being one the titles. I was already worried about the guy when he told me he had no trade references. Claims he ships with tracking. If anyone sets up a trade with him make him send first!

yeah and i f you look at the pic he sent me,thats the worst photoshop job i have ever seen!Even my 2 year old son would say "Daddy,thats a f***in fake":hilarious:

ok i have no son and he would have used other words but you know what i mean:hilarious:
 
Thanks for the heads up, this guy does not appear to be a member here, at least from what I can see based on our membership.

That's a good rule to continue to follow - ask for trade references, and always pay with regular paypal - never pay a new trader with gift.

yes he tried to persuade me to pay as a gift...thats the only advantage germany has:no paypal gifts possible:D

as i told him the pic looks photoshopped he laughed and said he does not own such a software and that there are other offers and he will sell the items to someone else..i really feel with those people...he should be banned immediately!

I would say that you should give BluTitan a heads up over at BD, I believe he's probably "the guy" when it comes to trading on that forum.
 
Not sure if it's the right thread to do this but here it goes, i apologize to those who i made trades with, Hooltra, Dominic and Adrenaline78 for taking so long to send the packages i owe you, thanks for your patience and understanding.
A very special thanks to Andy for beeing such an amazing person.

So I have a trader who pm's me saying my steel arrived to him and his is happy. However he has not yet sent his end of the trade and will do so today. We agreed to send same day. I assume I will still get the steelbook but this is starting to get real shady.

I wouldn't put someone on the bad trader list if the steel shows up, but lieing about when it is being sent is not cool at all.

Just make one of the mods here aware of the situation. I expect it will all work out fine, but agreements should be adhered to in a trade to prevent concerns like this occurring

Don't go naming anyone prematurely if it isn't necessary yet though

hey folks, I've deleted a few posts - let's keep this thread clear of the chatter, it's for alerting members of people that they should be aware of or folks that could be members of this forum.

and remember before posting any difficulty publicly, you should contact a trading moderator first.

thanks.

I had a bad trade with a member on this forum, but the trade was initiated and completed on a different blu-ray collecting forum.
I just noticed they posted in a thread here looking to trade.
I was wondering if I should/could still submit a 'bad trader' warning on this forum.

The member took more than 3 months to ship their end of a trade to me. And that was after they ignored several of my pms and I finally had to call them in order to ask them to send out their end of the trade.

Contact a mod, because the other person that trades or buys from this person would probably like to know. I know I would if I was the other person

Hi ninth, all difficulties with this trader on this forum have been resolved and the members have received their items.

If the trade happened here and it was delayed, you are more than welcome to leave the trader neutral feedback, because in the end you did get your item.

However, it appears to me from your note that the trade did not occur on this forum, and unfortunately, the lack of mod involvement in other spots often has members visit here to ask for help and ask me or another trading mod to assist with a solution - but as a general policy, HDN does not police trading activity on other forums.

Hope that helps.
