Yup...Moony25 is a cool :cool: kid ...I traded with her recently , no issues whatsoever .
Sometimes things get blown out of proportion..even if a couple of trades here & there go wrong its NOT a BIG DEAL..its not the end of the world.
Its just a coupon ( a little piece of paper )...there are genuine scammers & then there are people who make a few mistakes & should be given a second chance & should be given the benefit of doubt .
I traded addresses with an SC member on june 1 for a trade (in Ontario). The person has a high positive rating. I sent my FPC right away. Last week I sent the person a pm because I had not received my side of the trade nor a trade rating for the side I had sent. I had already received a different trade from Ontario which was negotiated days later and already received by myself. The person simply said it had not yet been received and did not answer my question about when their side of the trade was sent. A day or so later I got a trade rating. I just receved this person's side of the trade today, everything that was agreed upon was included (although some coupons expire June 30 and it is now the 15th). The post mark was clear and said that it was sent on Juen 10 (we finished the trade on June 1). It appears that this person did not send their side until they had received my FPC, which was not part of the agreement. I have sent the person anther pm today asking why the delay. I will update on here when I get the response.
My spouse has suggested either to leave a neutral trade rating or simply do not leave any trade rating regarding this experience. I have not yet decided what to do.
Yeah that sucks. After being royally screwed, I initiated getting someone onto the black list (who is now on it).
This new trade person was not that bad to deal with, but I do not appreciate the deception. When I have been late sending out a trade I try to let the person know. In one instance I even added a permanent stamp to the trade to make up for the delay.
In this case, the person already left feedback, so its not really a retaliation issue (I think Boo would easily change an obvious retaliation that was changed from positive?)
I would wait until I head back from them, it doesn't excuse 10 days, but I have issues with one of my local post offices, if I use the box outside, it gets picked up right away, but if the PO lady takes it when weighing, it never ever leaves the PO the same day - its like she hoards the mail.
I mailed something to my boss when I was off for a week, mailed it the Friday in time for evening pickup, the day I left for a week and it arrived at my office when I was back in the office and the postmark (not payment stamp) said it was processed Tuesday! and it wasn't a holiday weekend
I agree with you..it totally pi$$es me off when people mail their coupons late or wait for yours to arrive before mailing their side...as lot of times you want to use the coupons for a particular sale & don't want the coupons to arrive after the sale gets over :rant:
Usually 3-4 days before the new ( next weeks ) flyer comes out you know about it on SC so you can set up a trade quickly so that the coupons can be used when the next weeks flyer starts...it totally defeats the purpose if the coupons arrive late bcoz the sender sent them out late...if Canada Post screws up I can understand that .
soapydune you have 250 + positive ratings..don't worry about 1 negative retaliation rating from someone...most people on SC are smart ( at least I think they are :cheesygrin: ) & they won't care about this - ve rating ( will see thru it ) & it won't affect your future trades in anyway .
I may be mistaken. Looking into it. :)
