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.

Item arrived just arrived two days late not sure why the tracking said delivered maybe because they couldn't deliver it within the 48 time frame
 
I left him one yesterday such a bad seller deal was to good to be true

There was a seller under multiple IDs pulling off the same scam...Selling cheaper than cost. At first glace, the ID is loaded with positive feedback then starts selling the same item everyday. Carefully check the FB whether he / she is buying Amazon Gifts. If so, it's a scam

hey folks, please be on alert for any sellers in the Netherlands that ask you to send as a personal payment! It is not recommended and you are not protected by paypal if you do so. If you see a listing in the Premium Marketplace, and the seller
asks you to send a personal payment, please do not do so. If you want to purchase from a trusted seller, then always use the buy button as it will send the funds via a regular (goods) payment!

We found one trade that appears to be a scam by @toonminator and another one by @Phoenix M

These might be the same member and as always, please exercise caution when dealing with international trades and sales.

Good to know he's active here too, I contacted this guy thru Dutch (I'm from the Netherlands) marktpkaats because he had the hdzeta Interstellar box for a (too) good price. I then received a notification by marktplaats that this guy is not to be trusted and they deleted his account. Be aware of this Dutch scammer everybody!!!

Just this minute realised I was in talks with @toonminator back in August about his Predator Play Steelbook! :wow: Thought I recognized that user ID. Think I would've been ok though as the price he was quoting included PP fees. However I did later offer to pay via PP Gift to save the fees :ohno: Luckily for me I found a cheaper sealed copy at eBay the following day and the deal didn't go through.

He actually came back under another ID yesterday as well and I caught that one - so would definitely caution all members to be careful when dealing with members that you've not spoken with before.

Never send as personal payment unless you've personally had a number of good dealings with that person.

Member alert - @KARASOY received two copies mistakenly from an HDZeta group buy and did not forward the extra copy to the member that should have received it.

After being told about this, the account no longer was active on HDN.

He rejoined this forum as @Evilshaolin and that account has also been banned.

If you know Erol Karasoy on other forums or social media, please ask him to fix this problem and send the copy @hatredhorror paid for and did not receive.

Thanks

I wanna buy something from a seller that contacted me joker one click set and constantine lenticular however he says he has the items but no photos.....I mean thats pretty damn suspicious and I cant check his profile out. is this person reliable his profile name is inos4
If he's got the items there is no reason why he can't provide photos. I'd be very sceptical if I were you...
 
Glad I never purchased off him then , he messaged me on the 15th of may member inos4 saying he had rocketman filmarena edition I was after glad i avoided by the looks of this.
 
Would avoid selling to ebayer

gael2012


Bids and wins an auction and then refuses item(s) to be sent via any tracked postage. Demands you send non-tracked and a video of the items being put in the postbox, otherwise cancel the auction.

This obviously opens up the possibility/probability of him then claiming the item never arrived, and you having no means of tracking it.

Deal with at your own risk.
 
hi all, please be aware that member @Georges dikranjian has opened over 12 cases against HDN for group buy items that have previously been delivered, going back as far as January of this year. He has disputed shipping invoices as well as all the purchases he made. At the root of the issue was slight damage to one of the slips that he received.

As you know, we can't issue full refunds on items that we send on to you here, as we only charge that small fee. If one does the math, you'd realize that for a full refund on any of the most recent Lionsgate wave would wipe out the fee received from over 20 copies of that edition.

That being said, this member might have put future group buys at risk, given the large amount of funds in dispute.

I'm posting here as this member was not active in the community via threads but might have purchased an item from you or from another group buy.
