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 had some good deals with her until recently, seems to have vanished from here, ebay and everywhere else. Very odd.

I've had several good deals with her too, some time back now - hope your situation is sorted soon, but I think it's unfair to say she's a scammer (not you) unless people have actually been scammed...

she takes a picture of herself next to the steel she is selling:hilarious:

but her account is banned so there are no pics availbale anymore;)


Depending on her mood sometimes she puts her high heels next to the steels... Lol!
 
Hi folks, I have another name to add to the list.

The user ruioptica has two not completed trades on this forum I have been made aware of.

Attempts to contact him via e-mail and private message have met with no response. He has been banned temporarily, in the hopes that he will resolve these issues, however, I'm not too hopeful at this time.

If you have an outstanding trade with this member, please contact a trading moderator.

Thank you.

FYI, the same person attempted to stiff me on a trade (and some others) over at the other well known blu ray forum, and got banned over there as well. It was very curious, because he had lots of positive trading feedback.

Attempted meaning that you eventually got your items, or you started talking about a trade and backed off?

Because if there is something that would help other members get their items, I would like to know about it please.

Sorry I didn't explain. No, I did not get the agreed items.

I had agreed to trade him a Futureshop Finding Nemo for a package of titles he had. Nemo was on pre-order; even though I had not received it yet, he indicated that he would go ahead and send his titles to me (at least 2 or more weeks before I was to get Nemo, which I had told him).

I had not received anything by the time I got Nemo, so I PM'd him, and he said he had sent them, but because of the holiday rush he knew packages from his country were taking longer. Uh, oh, red flag for me! So, I just held onto Nemo, and I informed him that I was doing so, until I got his package, just to be sure.

He did not push me in any way to send him Nemo, so again this was a flag for me. Nothing ever came, as I just waited; and he NEVER contacted me. Then suddenly his name came up on the bad traders list.

So, luckily I waited.

Unfortunately, if others have outstanding trades with him, I would not expect to receive anything.

Rui just contacted me via e-mail and has stated that he will be shipping out items on Monday. I've asked proof of shipment for the ones he will be sending out, so if the folks on that other forum don't get info, feel free to pass that along.

A trading moderator here was approached by another member who had his phone number and we got in contact with him that way.

FYI - things should be moving forward with Rui.

The user amen has been banned from this forum for not responding to a staff member or trading moderator.

He had completed a trade that had some items not as described and I think even the wrong item was sent as well on a larger trade.

He has been banned permanently from the forum.
