Oh, and as NET54 says on the header, "Caveat Emptor".

That's not really the idea; I don't know the facts in this particular case, but hypothetically, in a scenario where someone mis-behaved on the BST, it would help all of us Emptor if we knew about it.

Would a defined feedback system be a good idea?

An open feedback system where anyone could post feedback about anyone else probably wouldn't last a week before it turned into a wrestling match.

We've discussed the possibility of a "trader points" system before but it would add quite a bit of complexity to the software we don't want to deal with right now.

You may be right.

I don't like the iTrader system, but that's just personal preference. Plus, as you noted, it would be more work for Leon and crew.

I've been on a couple forums where there is a "feedback" area. One of the best I've seen was a system where each user started a thread with his/her name, and as transactions were completed between members, each left feedback for the other person in their respective feedback thread.

There are/were a couple shouting matches here and there, but overall it serves as a good place to review "history" before completing a BST with another user.

I disagree with Zork. He stated "This shouldn't be on the board. The gentlemanly way to work this out is to inform a moderator or to get your money back and move on. Posting personal info is a bit out of line."

Things like this should be posted so no one else deals with the guy. No disrespect to Andrew but 500 dollars should not get him fuming or upset,
really he should just black ball this dude and never do business with him again.

I have dealt personally with Andrew and he is right on the money when it comes to paying for cards and shipping cards. My gut feeling is the other dude is your typical bullshit wishy washy guy who always finds a way to screw something up with excuses.

My question is why would this guy accept payment and agree to shipping to then change his mind and feel Andrew would not be satisfied? What is wrong with this scenario is the time lost on Andrew's side dealing with the deal.

How does one retrieve a package from the USPS? Especially 8+ days after it was supposedly sent out?

You just "have the post office return the package" magically! You didn't know that?

As I said above, I bet the package never went out or as stated above they only printed out the postal form but never mailed it. I bet they had someone else interested and were trying to get more money, they might have said I have it sold at $500 but if you want to offer more let me know but it goes in the mail in 5 days. Then if they sold it to the second party they could file a refund on the USPS label and get that money back or just eat it $5 because they made $75 more on the deal.

People who renege on deals shouldn't sell stuff, ever.

But posting personal emails also merits a tsk tsk.

I didn't see the original post so I can't comment on it, but someone backing out a $500 deal in this way just sucks and I think it should be outed. How long has this guy sat with Andrews $500. I am sure the cards were never shipped as you can not have a package pulled unless it was sent UPS (you apprently can with them in certain situations).

I don't care if it is a $50, $500 or $5000 deal when someone pulls the rug out from under you, you have a right to be pissed. I for one would want to know who it was so I do not deal with him in the future.

Obviously he never sent out the cards in the first place. He probably had second thoughts right from the beginning and probably didn't really want to sell the cards for the price, for whatever reason. We get attached to cards and can find it tough to sell them sometimes. Its not like selling junk from the garage.

I am probably in the minority here but I don't see it as the end of the world. I am sure if I were in your position I'd be pissed off also but sometimes things just don't work out. In fact, given what he did it seems he did his best to back out as politely as he could given the circumstances and hope you reacted ok.

I don't agree with him backing out of the transaction but shit happens. Without a pattern developing I don't think its right to destroy his future at the board for a mistake either even if it probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. Its not like he stole from you. From what I understand he is refunding your money. Worse things happen on here!

Just my opinion.

Now if it turns out he sell them to someone else here on the board for a few more bucks, all bets are off.
