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

[FallenPixels]

I wait around one month but given the Christmas break, would wait longer. Mail between our Toronto and Ottawa offices has been taking 2 weeks (even one sent Xpresspost took 5 days which I need to call and complain about when I get back into the office)

I left a negative trade rating for Kamanda. We did a small trade on Nov.16th and I never received my end. She said she never received my either but she also never replied to my last PM.

Thanks for letting us know. The exact same thing happened to me with her from a Nov 20th trade. It's strange though b/c I did a trade with her in October and it was fine. Here's hoping there's just a mixup and she can straighten it out. For the time being I will leave a negative too as I have not received her end of the trade and she hasn't replied back to me either.

I have also been burned a couple times with the few trades I have done on sc....is there a way I can view the persons trade rating and comments before I trade with themÉ

[hogama]

^ YES, there is!!!
If you look at their user name... there is a lot of useful info right under the SC name! You'll see Trade Rating: (a number written in blue) Click on that number, and it will bring you to their Trade Ratings, and you can read all about their trading experiences!
I hope that helps!!

Welcome to Smart Canucks, stacymarie!!

In the trading forum, there is also a quickview where you can tell what % of feedback is positive but it is not always helpful as some people do not leave negative when its due

is there any way that we can get the user who pm's newbies with a "great" trade for a high value gc for some newspaper flyers they most likely stole out of the newspapers they are supposed to deliver?

its makes newbies think that they should get this kind of trade, and it also makes people not come back to this site

i am tempted to start pming newbies and letting them know, so they don't get ripped off, but i am sure this is against the rules

GAH! I don't know what can be done about it unless newbies speak up and pm the mods. I don't think this person should be allowed to INITIATE trades at ALL.

Aggravating isn't it?!

Definitely aggravating when I agree with you both 100% that this person on SC should not be targeting newbies...it peeves me off too and nothing is ever done about it except a "warning"...

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whom you two are talking about.

[lady_arianna]

ok, since posting this, and in another thread i have had tons of replies/ pm's/ reps/ msn questions the person is Moony25, she has been warned, many times, lets warn the newbies... she is not stopping, and if the newbies don't know then they might think its how things work here....

[annedougherty]

Just to let people know...

I did in fact send Coocoo_4_Coupon's envie back to her on my lastest train. I went through it further, and in addition to sending me 3 out of 4 garbage coupons, another rider was shorted a coupon, and there was another issue with something she sent for another rider that I discussed with that rider.

I will say again, this is not the first time this his happened. I typically "patch up" the missing/substituted coupons and say nothing of it. I'm not doing it any more.

So...I left her neutral feedback explaining that I returned her envie and why. I received a response, and it was not an apology or anything resembling an apology.

I'm another newbie who was 'hounded' when I enquired about trading for several of the last P&G fliers. It was shortly after I joined and my first reaction was "gee, I must be really cheap, or not being realistic as to the value of the P&G fliers." My offer of a $25 GC was declined as it was not a store she frequented (which was fine), so I said "no thanks" nicely, thinking that would be the end of it. I got a rather snippy reply back but in the end was glad it didn't work out. I had to give my head a shake and ask myself what the heck I was thinking! I could have purchased the newspapers complete with inserts for less money. It almost ended my trading career, however everyone else has been great.

yes thanks, because I am not allowed to say which OTHER SC'ers have been approached and then hounded either for a very unreasonable amount...it makes me mad because when newbies pm me, I can't say a darned thing because every time I did pm a mod, I was told there was no "issue"..ridiculous.
