Bad Trader payment!!

Post by Farseer633 »

O.K. let's make this simple. I have been given a Bad Trader Mark against me and feel it was in haste and anger but regardless of the mark (i can live with that) honor dictates i should still own up to my side even thou goods/payment from either end have not been exchanged. i have PM'ed this trader to still complete my side of the bargain (the payer) and was planning on sending the funds to his paypal address however the paypal address is not registered and he will have to contact Paypal on how to get the funds. Interesting as he is a Millenium Trader and i would assume has sold stuff before.

I have PM'ed him twice after the Bad Trader and saw he read one and ignored the other. I can understand his anger as he is in debt and needs the money but life on my side got in the way (I too needed money at the time).

So, the question is.....should i just send the money and see what happens or just move on! It's $55.00 for the goods.

So, fill in some details for those who don't want to have to search all over the site to get the details of your dealings.
What's the scoop on your BTR? A BTR is for when someone is or feels ripped off, essentially. So, if someone opened a BTR on you, that means they sent you something but you never paid/sent your side.

Why not just post a note in the BTR they opened that you're trying to make good on your debt, but that they're not replying to your contact attempts? Have you verified that the PMs you sent have even been read?
here is the tricky part, when i was checking another potential deal and wanted to see the person's rating on Paypal i checked the millenium traders address just to be ready and lo and behold, the address he provided does not exist.
This is confusing.
WHOSE address is non-existant? The new trade you want to do, or the guy you still owe? By "address," are you referring to email address or physical address?

Please, provide more details, and we might be able to help.

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.
