A Question on my Status?

Post by Suicide-Goblin »

I am now marked as a bad trader because of what happened with meatwad, and him sending broken models, crap at its best, and attempting to get me to send my stuff, even though my stuff was quite traded in his favor. I refuses as any censible person would. Meatwad has been banned and such, but I remain a bad trader?

Trading Rules/"Guidelines"
1) Pictures for assembled models please
2) Post prices if you have the models, or respond with pictures and your expected price
3) Lower rep sends first unless it's a buy//sell. Buyer pays, seller ships. Unless you have less than 10 rep. Then you ship.
4) Leave trade rep after you get paid or receive items.
5) If there isn't a tracking number, it hasn't shipped. Period.
And last but not least...
6) If you have an issue address it by PM first. Always.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you also not send his stuff back to him (which, if you didn't intend to uphold your end of the deal, would be his right, no matter what kind of condition his models were in)? Didn't you throw most (or some) of his stuff away?

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, just trying to remember what happened. It's been a while.

That is correct. Both parties reported each other as bad traders. Meatwad was banned, but the report remains. Just because he was a bad trader and used ITL intimidation to get his way doesn't mean he can't still post bad trade reports on other people.

To sound cliched, two wrongs don't make a right...but three lefts do. :wink:

S-G, it doesn't necessarily make you a bad trader, per se.
I don't think of you as a bad trader. I'd go so far as to say that most here don't.
Would I expect you to ship first? Probably.
Then again, even after reapplying the lost points from your negative, compare our scores. That is why.
If we were negotiating a trade, I would have absolutely NO suspicions about your integrity based on this loser's neg. ref about you.

Just 'cause you're on the list don't make it true.

Lower rating? You ship first.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.

Well thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I geuss your right lin, but crap in the hand is worse than crap in the garbage.

I'll probably be selling all my warhammer stuff soon though, so I've got no problems with shipping first.

Hey man, I would trade with you as well.
Sometimes things dont work out.

I would ask that you shipped first as well. But I dont think your at pariah status or anything if thats what your worried about.

Moved out of the BTR forum as part of site cleanup.
2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

I use the Unofficial Porkuslime Trading Guidelines - if you have way less refs.. you ship first.

Folks I am awaiting a ref from.. Zack
