Bad Experience With Classifieds

[angelique510]

I have had great experiences dealing with people on the classifieds here, both buying and selling and trading. I've had a lot of fun and met several really cool people.

I have had one bad experience and I am not sure what to do, or even if there is anything I can do. Yes, I know "caveat emptor" and all of that. I figure I will just have to write it off, but I do need to vent a bit.

This person and I agreed to do a trade. I admit, it took me a few days to send out the package. I wrote him about a week later to ask if he got his package and to ask when he mailed mine. He told me that he never mailed a package to me, and because he was displeased with what I sent him, he was not going to mail it. He said he would return what I sent him, but he hasn't done that either, nor has he replied to any of my PMs.

I am really miffed by this. Not only do I not have the item that I wanted, I don't have the item I sent to him - something that I would really like to send to someone else who would enjoy and appreciate it.

I have had a lot of fun swapping stuff here, everyone else I have dealt with has been great. That one bad apple has just stuck in my craw.

Thanks for letting me vent. I haven't named names and you won't find his name in my old threads. I appologize if it is bad form to complain like this.

Name and shame!!!

You should definitely name the person, if not here then in the "Feedback" thread in the Classifieds forum - that's what it's there for!

But if you aren't going to name names, at least name items. What did you send, and what were you supposed to be getting?

Also, how long ago was it that the person said they were returning your item(s)?

You need to leave bad feedback in the feedback thread if you don't then they may do the same to someone else. It is not badmouthing them if they did not hold up their end of the agreement, it is simply stating fact.

seems that you got -exactly- what you paid for.

Ok no names just give us the address. Someone has to live near them.

That`s a shame sorry it happens. For sure leave the feedback or they`ll be free to do it again. Hope they swallow their PV.

I agree with that That way we'll know not to do business with them I think sometimes we feel like a community, which we are, but there are dishonest people anywhere

Yes by all means name that person so no one else gets scammed by them.

Wait, Let me understand this.....You got ripped off in the classified section of the forums...yet you wont post his Screen name so others wont deal with this person?

Makes no sense at all...Why bother even starting this topic?

POINTLESS!!!!!
