Bad trades List

What's Hot

edited November 2013 in Misc £
Anybody that has messed you about and generally left a bad taste in your mouth, please share with the group... Please PM me and point me at any appropriate threads). The list below shows any previous Bad Trades along with dates they were resolved if they have been.

Please do not use this thread as your first port of call if you can't get hold of somebody for a day or two, but if there is a genuine problem it is important that you share this with the rest of the Forum, if only for the tea and sympathy and to stop anybody else being caught by the same person.

Remember though, thousands of trades happen here without any problems at all, and what you see below is a really minor percentage. But be careful out there ;)

Bad Trades:

    I don't like doing this but I have to say that my recent transaction with jdbwales was pretty bad.  Payment sent and it took 4 weeks before the goods arrived.  There are others still waiting for their items several weeks after payment.

    I've dealt with him before years ago without issue, and he is certainly one of the most prolific and respected sellers on here, but something has gone wrong in the jdbwales camp recently.

    Details of recent deals in the links below.

    All those monsters I added to the good traders list, who never reciprocated.

    Yes YOU! And you and you.

    Cheers @TTony - I've started a Hall of Shame at the top and will link to any other threads that happen to come along (hopefully my kind of job, involving not-a-lot of work...)

    Owes me £30 from about 6 weeks ago

    Now he's vanished
    @Travisthedog

    Well, he's certainly back now, so you should be able to contact him to resolve this.  Please let us know how it goes.

    Wouldn't it be better just to update it?

    I'd certainly like to know about things like this.......6 weeks + is not ok.

    I'd go for the update too - AdolphHipster can always put his side of things on here as well, and people can make their own minds up :)

    Its sorted now.
    REAL life tends to get in the way of trivialities.

    I'm no scam artist, and if I was it would be for allot more than the 30 quid I'm accused of stealing, I deal with 1000s of pounds worth of equipment! Have never ever had any issues with anyone.... it was a mistake, an over sight. Ask Travis!
    You Guys who aren't involved need to mind your own!
    It will happen to you some day.

    You can all unwind your nickers now.

    I think you may be missing the point of a community. The system only works if everyone is invested in making it work...

    a cohesive "community" that immidately ostracises a member For little or no reason?
    That's not investment that sounds like too many cooks having very opinionated broth!

    I'll be honest, I'd consider owing any sum of money for a long time to be a pretty valid reason for people to be concerned... Perhaps more tellingly, I've not seen any apology. I doubt many would particularly care about your reasons for having more than one account - the fact is though, a lack of contrition makes you seem less trustworthy than someone who comes out and say

    "Y'know what, I fucked up - I'm sorry and we've sorted things out now."

    Oh dear, hate to have to add to this, but @Adolfhipster still owes me £22.50 for postage agreed for a guitar swap I did with him on the 20th Sept - His Parker for my Strat.

    He has said on a number of emails that he will send it "once he gets paid" but I still haven't received anything despite a number of friendly emails asking him to pay up.

    Jooks, just for clarity in the original post can you re-write Adolfhipster name separately next to @Zodiac51. ; It's just currently with the format at a quick glance it looks as though Z51 is actually listed as a badden rather than a victim.

     

    Good work, Sir.

    But to owe any amount of money to anyone is not good business sense and then to come on here and ostracise the community is not good sense    [-X

    I don't think it should.
    You have form now- and people should know that if they deal with you they might be waiting a while when you 'get busy'.
