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.
But I have to be honest he always treated me with respect...it took him a long time to mail,but he always emailed me explaining and answered my messages, and he did mail..it was a big trade, 7 steelbooks....
