Scammers in the Buy Sell Trade Section

Ya'll still need to be very careful, and the warning stickies in the BST sections are staying for now, but we think we did some security updates to Tapatalk to help stop the scammers from getting in. Please stay vigilant.

Was wondering why I couldn't access the forum for about 30 minutes last night.
Great to hear!

I've sold some items in the BST section and the transactions have been excellent except for one. A long standing member bid on one of my auctions and never paid after he won. I had messaged him with the total and got ignored. Apparently, this person feels like his reputation isn't worth the $25 -$30 (I forget the exact amount) he would of had to pay for winning the auction.

I don't want to reveal who he is, but I don't want him bidding on my items anymore.

Is there a way to block him from bidding on any more of my listings other than messaging him directly?

If he bids on your stuff just post invalid bid in response, we'll get the message.

I think you can block anyone except a moderator

. That said, I would like to know if anyone doesn't pay. If he did it to you, he's probably done it to someone else. Transactions should go smoothly over there. I am always a PM away.

Thank you for your response Leon.

It happened a while ago and the auction went for so little I rather not reveal his name.

I haven't listed much in the BST section since this happened but am planning on doing some listings in the near future. That's why I brought the question up now.

Just straight up tell them you don't want them to bid on your stuff. If they do reveal they never paid last time. I know that is exactly what I done to 2 members.

I had one person not pay for his auction wins as well. Only one. He too, was a long standing member. Mine too, was for a small amount (under $50). I don't wish to see him booted obviously, but your story has me intrigued if it was the same person.

Why not reveal who he is? I see no reason to protect people who do this.
