This is the Bad Trader List.
Both actual bad traders and potential bad traders are added here. When you are having an issue with another member about a trade this is what you must do:
1. Post on this thread a link to your trade thread
(This is an absolute MUST when reporting a trader. If there is no record of a deal on the board there are no penalities or rewards for said deal)
2. Post a link to the member's profile with whom you are reporting
3. Post a brief & detailed description of what the deal is and why you wish to report the member
Bad Traders / Possible Bad Traders:
Performing any of the following actions will earn you an immediate spot on the Bad Traders List:
- Claiming to send a package, but never sending
- Claiming to send money, but never sending
- Receiving a package from another member and not sending your end of the deal (money or package)
- Taking money from another member and not shipping your end
- Sending an item that is significantly not what was described or agreed upon
- Making continuous excuses as to why you aren't sending your end of the deal
Any other situations will be discussed & considered between the Classifieds Mods. Not ALL situations are guaranteed to be "Bad Trading"
Reporters:
The following criteria MUST be present for us to even consider your report valid:
1. A Trade Thread link MUST be provided. When you agree to a deal with a member via PM, on person should create a trade thread immediately.
Even if the other member does not respond. (which is also considered bad trading) This way we have an actual reference of your deal. If there is no thread created, there is no penalty (or reward)
2. Provide name & address info to the Mods. Do NOT post anyone's info on the Bad Trader thread, instead, PM the Head Classifieds Mod with the person's info
__________________________________________________
- After your issue has been posted and considered valid, the Head Classifieds Mod will PM the member being accused. That member will have 72 hours to respond either via PM or on the actual Bad Traders thread. If no response is given, that member will be tagged as a Bad Trader.
- Once the issue is resolved, a confirmation post will be put up. Only post here if you want someone added or if you are defending yourself from someone wanting to add you. NO FIGHTING!
Any other posts will be deleted without notice.
- If the accused responds, (and wants to resolve) they will have a deadline of 1 week to make their trade right. (or slightly longer if international) Otherwise they will be tagged as a Bad Trader.
- When you are accused of being a Bad Trader for NOT SENDING your end of the deal but you actually did send, You MUST provide proof in the form of a Delivery Confirmation number, PayPal receipt (screenshot, edited) or a Postal Receipt showing the other member's zip code & date of shipment.
- If you are added to the list as a Bad Trader, all of your existing refs will be erased and you will be banned from accessing the Classifieds board from then on.
- Creating a Trade Thread is something that MUST be done to be considered a valid deal and able to fall under Good Trading/Bad Trading rules.
Two people just sending PMs back and forth about a deal is NOT considered official whether or not you agree to come to said deal.
If there is no thread made the deal is never official in the eyes of the board. Therefore there can be no penalties or rewards for said deal. It doesn't take long to make a trade thread. DO IT.
Also, trade threads need to be SPECIFIC and detailed. So we (the Mods) know exactly what the trade is for./b]
- Any form of "extortion" will NOT be tolerated
- The Bad Trader's list is NOT used as a way for you to get someone to agree to a deal. PM exchanges do not fall under trading rules.
Please Note: Even when the other person is sending first please ask for the other person's address. This way if the deal goes wrong and the person has to be tagged as a bad trader you have their shipping info. Remember without the shipping info all the person has to do is delete their tagged account and make a new untagged account and come back and trade
Bad Traders can ONLY have their tag removed if the following criteria is met:
1. The Bad Trader has intent on resolving the issue with the member who reported.
2. The Bad Trader resolves the issue
3. The member who reported him then requests the tag to be removed
4. Even if your tag is removed, your refs are still erased so you will be re-started at 0
- If you agree to a deal with a member and find that someone from their city/town is on the bad traders list, you are allowed to request the deal to be cancelled without penalty.
Bad Trading is something we all take very serious on this board. Misuse of Bad Trader reporting is ALSO something we take serious. Please consider this before you make your report.
The Classifieds Mods will make their decisions on Bad Traders based on the evidence presented keeping the element of fairness between all.
If you have been scammed out of money, make sure you file a report at: www.ic3.gov
And you can always file for mail fraud: postalinspectors.uspis.gov/forms/MailFraudComplaint.aspx
Below is the list of Bad Traders. It is sorted alphabetically by state. When looking for a trader, find out what city or zip code they live in. Under the city below search for their name or other info you have
