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.

EEK! I know about accounts being hacked (Mine & my brother's did 8 or so years ago), but never heard or thought about selling accounts. Makes sense, but also makes me even more :ohno: about eBay.

I have never had a problem with eBay or PayPal handling bad transactions, though. ;)

If you have opened a non paying bidder alert then i think its after 4-5 days you can close it and get your seller fees back (also takes away the feedback option so he cannot leave feedback), ebay messed up when they took the power away from sellers to leave bad feedback comments coz now anyone can leave us negative feedback and we can never return it for bad buyers.

So nothing then will happen to him from ebay? if not i buy all his buy it nows and not pay him.

he gets a non payment strike, if you get 3 inside 12 months ebay can suspend your account.


p.s in other words no nothing happens as ive never heard of anyone getting thrown off ebay for 3 strikes.

Karl01,

You are covered so rest assure, once you open the case I believe eBay gives the seller a certain amount of time to pay up. If you don't hear from him after that time you close the case and all fees are reimbursed to you.

I have been following this seller on eBay and noticed he is selling off all his rare titles over the last week or so. He also tends to list high then drop low near the end of listing.

Hope you get it sorted mate like I said your covered.

P.S if you read one of his negatives he is a joker name joker by nature.

Not trying to defend, but maybe something happened? It seems to be all this month. I've wondered if something were to happen to me (hospital of unexpected life event), what would happen to my auctions that were up and or shipped. My wife would have no idea what to do. Now, if I was selling FS IM, I would hope I had a backup plan. EEK!

Just seems odd that it went from shipping (lost) to not shipping at all. The last people to leave positive feedback, bought the items in April or early May.

While that is certainly possible, i highly doubt it. He consciously marked all the transactions as "shipped" but did not ship them. From other people's feedback it also seemed that he provided fake tracking numbers and refused to offer refunds

yeah dont bother buying from him it seems like he is very slow to post

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

If i remember correctly if he doesn't respond within a certain timeframe ebay will reimburse you your fees.

I had to close the unpaid case myself after 5 days then i got my fees back and he got a strike against him which means nothing.
 
Anyone dealt with sburns666 on BR.com?

He said he would ship my item by March 16, I have yet to receive it

On April 16, I PMed him stating it had been a month and I had not yet received the item

He responded with a PM on April 26 asking for my details so he can check the situation

I have yet to hear back

He has 96.2% positive feedback (had 100% when trade was initiated)

Hoping I haven't been scammed out of a steelbook (it was a 1 for 1 trade)
I dealt with him before. I bought tons of slip covers (about $60) and it took over 1 month to get here. I was beginning to worried at first, but i got my stuff in the end.

as an update to that situation I posted about, I did end up getting the steelbook just after the 2 month point. Won't be dealing with him again, but at least I didn't get scammed
 
stay away from this seller from the ebay U.K. site:delboy_77
he had both the Iron Man pre order up for sale @24.99GBP plus shipping.when i asked for a shipping quote to the U.S. for 3 copies each, he told me it was 30GBP.when i went back to make the purchase,the price miraculously jumped to 46.99GPB each! i asked what happened and i was told that the prices i saw earlier were "sold" so if you check the completed listings,there were none sold by delboy_77 at all...talk about a scam before even making a purchase...thats a first for me before the sale...

See the alert in the steelbook forum and PM a trading mod if you have any pending transactions with this user.

Thank you.
