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.

Going forward, please refer to the "Community" link in blue navigation bar. When you click on it you can then click on itrader and see if ANYONE receives a negative feedback. etc.
 
OP updated ; this is only a thread for bad traders and updates on things to watch out for as well as you knowing the best way to go about trading with new members or members you dont know.
 
People can speak freely in here about bad traders elsewhere, but only those that happen at our site will get listed in the OP. This is mostly for scammers only, if you got one small dented steel one time please don't mention that. (speaking to all, not you directly bktan)

Also please don't link other sites unless its ebay or amazon. You can refer to other sites with abbreviations.
 
Jim-can you please provide more info on this-do you have personal experience with this seller? We just want to stay as specific as possible, as the actual issue may not have occurred on this site. Thanks!
 
yes DB i have a personal experience!!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....266549&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_961wt_1139
i bought this item not with paypal but in bank acount,he post it after 6 days of the payment,and i have received before 2 days
so.. i send him a message to replace it or to refund and he told me that he didn't care and its my fault of getting damaged
i am really piss off
thanks for looking everybody and thanks for the oportunity i have to share this
 
Jim, I am very sorry to hear that. My apologies-I misread your post and thought you said you paid via Paypal with your bank account. Definitely contact your bank as Andy suggested & Ebay may also be able to help you directly.

You may be able to dispute the charge if the item was not received as promised. I hope this resolves itself-it's always a hassle if sellers are dishonest and are not willing to compensate a customer appropriately. Good luck, Jim!

jimk - I'd get in contact with your bank and explain your situation - they might help you. I know this doesn't help much now, but that's why many of us will use a service like paypal or a credit card (I'm assuming you did a direct wire / bank transfer of funds), such that we are protected in some capacity if the transaction goes wrong.

ALSO, if you did buy it on e-bay, you can open a case with them (on the ebay site you bought it from - and they will try and assist you.)
