Need your advice

Post by mcfly »

Hi there,

Back in April I have made a trade with someone about Warmachine mins vs Flames of war.

He had higher rating so I shipped first, using tracking number...he got it.

I contacted him later on early may, he answere me that my parcel came back to sender....today is June 19th!

He has not returned to BT for some time now and my PM is sitting in the mail box, not received. Oh and no tracking number...

Do I wait or fill in a Bad trader report against him? Total value of the trade was around $150.00.

You know, sometime family things happens & that may just be one...

• When using paypal We will ship after paypal confirmation, paypal offers protection anyway.
• Lower rating ships first for trades.
• Trade values are retail for retail unless otherwise stated.
• Pictures are available upon request.
• I ship using Canada Post / USPS and expect the same in return. NO COURIER SERVICES! Ridiculous customs fees with them.

It has been too long with zero communications. If it were me, I would start the process and fill out a BTR. If it does not get resolved, then a negative would follow. Just make sure to post it properly with all PM's (in chronological order for ease of reading). If you are still hesitant to do this, I would suggest contacting one of the Watchmen or Admins, as there might be a chance they know of some situation the person is dealing with. The only reason I say this is that sometimes the more responsible/veteran types will post a message in one of the forums that states they will be out of town for a bit due to "reason X".

Anyhow, just an opinion, good luck.
Always remember that your stuff is nearly worthless junk. The other person's items are highly valuable collectibles.

If I owe you a reference, please remind me.

I don't expect people to wait forever for an answer, and expect the same courtesy.

Send him a final PM/email (if that option is available) stating that he needs to contact you in X amount of days about the trade, or you will file a BTR. Remember to read the rules for posting a BTR before you do so. That way you can avoid any silly mistakes. :wink:

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.
