I was suppose to trade some bits with him. Sent out mine to him and never received his after 3-4 weeks. No replys to all my PMs either. I checking this off as a lost cause but would like to inform the rest about this person.

Well, it's an international trade, so you may have a lost parcel/customs issue. Who knows.
As for what we can do if you don't get your stuff and cheiron doesn't contact you, well, it was two bits. Not worth involving the authorities over.
At best, all i can see happening from this Bad Trader Report is people being more cautious when trading with cheiron in the future, possibly not trading with him at all.
Yet another reason I never do international trades.
Let's hope we hear from Cheiron soon.

Whereas I'm usually in agreement with ya, 'Sid, we're going to have to part ways on this one.
I don't care if it's a nickel. If I'm scammed, I'm giving it my all.
Like Merlin says.... How soon would it be before he graduates up to the big time?

Give me a sense of humor Lord. Give me the grace to see a joke.
To get some humor out of life and pass it on to other folk.
I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

shipping times
Note that if it went surface then 3-6 weeks isn't unusual. Heck, I only send via surface, & Oz & NZ take 6-8 weeks!I was suppose to trade some bits with him. Sent out mine to him and never received his after 3-4 weeks. No replys to all my PMs either. I checking this off as a lost cause but would like to inform the rest about this person.

Has he actually gotten your PMs? I mean are they in your Outbox still because he hasn't logged on? Just curious...
Lower rating? I ask that you ship first. Also, if I offer a stupidly good deal and you try to negotiate even lower...don't call it bad communication that you didn't get a reply. I deleted the message.

Re: Disagree
Don't get me wrong, I'd still nail him to the board, but what I'm saying is, the authorities really can't be involved in this one due to the nature of the crime (it's just really not worth it. Hell, I'd feel bad about wasting a cop's time over this one; I'd just tough it out and hope the people of Bartertown wouldn't trade with this guy anymore).MagickalMemories wrote:Whereas I'm usually in agreement with ya, 'Sid, we're going to have to part ways on this one.

Most I could see happening if the guy gettin his account suspended or possibly banned, depending on if we ever hear his side of the story, or the whim of the admin.
