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.

He has a pack of 12 steelbooks/iron packs and he's asking for $43 shipping when he's in Ontario and I'm in Quebec :hilarious:

Basically, for this price I can send Xpresspost (3 or 4 days) to California :joy:
 
guess he quoted you priority worldwide, which includes insurance and signing...
you do realize you can likely get the same insurance with a longer wait and no sign off for about $15 if it's under 1kg. (international surface)

Would you like me to find out where he lives? :)
I did send a question if i can pick up locally :) for one of his auctions
 
Let him rot. I was speechless when I saw those shipping costs. What the hell he wants to ship more to me? Some bricks? :hilarious:

He also didn't had an answer in the case, with that German guy who he ripped some money.

He didn't found the clue, he told me.

No thanks, I wil spend my money some where else then. By being so uncorporated and acting stupid and force things up: Big pass.

If you have an answer on your question can you let me know this? I wanna see if he reacts on my latest message, or only yours.

I think this has been addressed as much as it needs to be there. The guy is a foreigner and has multiple accounts, that doesnt make him a scammer. Esp if no one can post his ebay names and if he has tons of neg feedback why buy from him?

If anything he is guilty of shill bidding. And those type of people are easy to spot ;) I dont think people need to lynch him for high prices and bad english. Plenty of those people on every forum.

ps. I do recall that he joined here a while back. Doesnt post tho.
 
Just a couple of points to quickly add to Wreck's comments:

1. If the guy was a scammer, would be really join a forum and announce he'd been running 6 eBay accounts? Hardly seems like a smart way to go about suckering people.
2. I actually pm'd the dude and asked about one of his titles. He explained it wasn't the version I was looking for and apologised. The actions of a scammer? Hmm.

And btw I used to work for a company selling Blu Rays who operated 5 eBay accounts. It just made good business sense to do it that way.

Things aren't always what they seem.

Is their really a formula to go by ?

I have confirmed with 4 people they did not get items or items not as described from this person.

mods or admins feel free to delete if need be
 
mods, just move to the bad trader thread so it can still be there to look back on if need be. thanks.
 
I saw that post too, I was a bit cautios but i noticed he has had an account at that forum since 2009. Beyond that I have nothin more to add
 
Aye I don't think he is genuine either. Asked him for some clearer pics of Let The Bullets Fly and he responded too busy :hilarious:
