The Official and ONLY Place to Discuss Negative Trade Experiences + Trade Blacklist

[Peachykeen2007]

Oh don't say that - hopefully you have pm'd a mod in regards to this member

i will never ever trade here again. it is so easy to scam people. what do they lose? nothing. a negative trade rating and that's it. i lost FPC coupons worth $50. i'm so pissed..... this person had only positive feedbacks, isn't much here anymore and the communication was terrible as well. maybe i should do same with others,i only get a negative feedback that's it,but i will have lots of good coupons in trade. it sucks so badly.

That's because they have all been your trains

thats because you know how to pick them

Maybe it is the way the train is run - I don't personally know how each individual conductor does it and what not - but I prefer the trains that you send all riders coupons to the conductor and then the conductor sends them out - seems to me that that majority of trains getting derailed and crappy coupons etc is because it goes from the conductor to rider to rider to rider and back - and no one knows who put what in and appropriate rating are not being left

If all coupons are sent to the conductor - the conductor sees who sent what to who and so forth and leave each rider appropriate ratings - it is then up to you the conductor to send out each riders envie ensuring that they receive it

just my two cents - hopefully it gets better for you

I did do it wisely. I require a higher trade rating, check to make sure they have no negs, if they do then I say no. I read the responses for those who left trade ratings and so on. What else can I do? There is nothing else I can do. The only option is to not run trains any more since I can't garentee that all the riders are honest.

What you're referring to is a VWT = virtual wishlist train.

The train nicole is referring to is a regular coupon train. Some people prefer these because they can go through and see new coupons they didn't know exist, etc.

It's so sad that so many trains are becoming derailed or MIA. There's really no need for it.

hey all, i will answer your pms this weekend, im in florida still

Not a negative for me, but for two of my train riders. On a current train I'm running, 2 riders each (1 per each train) found nothing for them. This is the first time this has happened on a train I have run. THe train is a no boarding pass train, but they are still out the postage to mail to the next rider. Is there anything required of us as conductors if this happens? I feel bad about this. THanks.

I dont think there is a rule as to what to do when this occurs. Ive been on trains where I have found nothing of use, mailed it off and sighed over the waste of postage and BP. But I think thats the risk every rider takes when joining a traditional train IMO.

Not sure this is the right place to post this,and I know this has been brought up in the past. Over the last few weeks i have done a few more trades than usual(I am more of a train kinda gal ) My issue is the timing of them being mailed.When the PO stamp date is a full WEEK after the trade was made.Yes i got the trades,however i just think its fair to mail trades in a timely fashion thats all. I know things happen sometimes and delay occur,a simple PM would work.I keep track of these things,as i am sure others do ,and just wanted to bring this up again.

Thanks

You can't always go by a postmark. You can't say everyone is innocent or not, but it does have a lot to do with CP.

I once received an envie 20 days after the postmark, often they aren't marked at all, or they get stamped the day before when they get sorted in Hamilton. Ive also mailed envies that I found out were sitting at my PO for 3 days before they were stamped and sent off.

[Tweetybird999]

I've had a lot of envelopes not marked at all since the strike ended. I wonder if it's CP employees doing something different.

[roxybabe39]

Sally is on holidays but it sounds like you made the right choice .

Oh thanks for letting me know I'm not upset with her by any means, I just hate giving negative ratings because I think everyone deserves a chance. I'm a little bit of a wuss and just like confirmation of someone saying "go ahead and give her a negative" hahah

[roxybabe39]

Still wondering, what, if at all, I Should do in regards to my post about my trains. Any suggestions (see previous post above).

I would personally just apologize and leave it at that. I find with a lot of traditional trains the good coupons all get removed within the first couple of riders. I used to host these kinds all the time (easy way to get a bunch you don't already have) but keep getting trains back with crappy coupons ($20 off bissel, $10 off braun, etc)

You can't control what people are looking for and what people put in.

Thanks roxy!

I'm not trying to complain or get heavy with anyone, but just curious how long I should wait before I mention to the person who traded with me that I still haven't received their end of our trade?

[FallenPixels]

I would wait at least 3 weeks given how slow mail is
