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

[soapydune]

Thanks soapydune, I have had someone else pm me as well that has not heard from her. This was my first time conducting some trains and I think 2 of them are now lost.

I am so sorry to hear!
I have calmed down on the trains I do exactly because of this. Quite a few of my trains have been lost lately.

[Insane]

Just a thought. I've been reading about a lot of trains that go off the rails when someone disappears from SC and the conductor is left with no way to contact them. Would it be a good idea to have all passengers provide their email address to the conductor so they can be contacted even if they're not on SC? Might not help, but it couldn't hurt.

And here I was thinking you were joining the discussion Dave so you could try and trade one of your kids for a GC too!

(you have to go back a few pages to understand!)

What I would like to know is the time frame to respond to a PM. I share my computer with 2 other people ( gamers) and was sent a message on Thursday, as I had asked how many of each was to be had. I was finally able to respond today ( 4 days) and the items I had requested were traded away! To me this is kinda rude, as this was not the first pm exchanged between us. Am alittle upset, really needed the coupons she/he had.

Everyone who has coupons to trade, wants to... well... trade them... and the sooner they can accomplish this, the better, as they can wrap it up and move on.

No one is going to sit around and wait for 4 days for you to get back to them, without you telling them you needed 4 days to get back to them. They are going to assume you are not interested anymore and will move on to the next person.

You didn't finalize a trade, you can't be upset. You simply dropped the ball and lost out on the trade, try to learn from this lesson.

Trading really should be a pleasant experience for everyone involved.

I have a situation - that I'm hoping to resolve - but wanted to post here for advice and input. I had a very high value trade for a significant number (11,000) of SDM points that I traded, and already transferred prior to the big mega bonus redemption weekend. I was trying to be helpful to many SCers because I had the points and people wanted to redeem.

At any rate, part of the agreed upon trade was for UPCs for a mail in promotion that needed to be postmarked by Dec. 15. However, the UPCs never showed up in the mail. And the person I was trading with said they hadn't received them as of yet in a trade. So as an alternative, they said they could send stamps for the 6 UPCs. While I would never trade SDM points for stamps, I said I would take 6 stamps (3000 SDM pts for that portion of the trade) instead because of the value of the points and what I intended to send the UPCs in for. Or I said they could transfer the points back to me.

Their response was that I "used to be cool" and "should they leave a negative rating"!! I held up my end of the trade - and I'm trying to be comprimising despite the fact I have not received my end of the trade and will not be receiving the trade that had been agreed upon.

Even prior to trading, I expressed a reluctance to trade indicating I was concerned the UPCs would not reach me in time.

Advice and input would be appreciated. Thank you.

Wow. The nerve of some people.

They still haven't received them, muchless sent them to you, the promo has expired and the upcs are therefore worthless to you.

And they are threatening to leave YOU a negative rating?! I would be laughing really hard as I send a PM to caring about that.

Crazy the stuff that goes on behind the scenes here.

[Litesandsirens911]

well I just found out tonight that Sandiecoop1 never sent her trade to another SC'er....so I am not the only one...
And no, I am not saying who the other SC'er was, since it was told to me confidentially.

[Sunraven]

When is the list dealt with? I have been waiting for at least a month if not longer. Could I not have been e-mailed to get confirmation?

Let's put it this way, I joined in July 2009 and while I've received the magnet, I haven't received my GC as yet.

Has anyone heard from Lexi'sMama? She is on a train of mine and someone else's and there has not been an update for the past month.

I received a trade from her on Nov.26 with no problems.While cleaning up my PM's the other day I notice I never received a trade rating from her so I PMed her to see if she received my end of the trade as I was scared it was lost. She has not returned my PM.

sorry guys all i can do is apologize again and again , all I want to do is make things right so i can leave the site.

R u going to make things right or not ? Just wondering since u seemed to have stopped answering my pms ?

I am leaving CooCoo_4_Coupons Negative feedback for being a rider on my current train and substituting coupons.

Caring is probably not aware of this either, but I have received complaints from others that coocoo seems to substitute alot of coupons on VWTS, but, as is frequently the case, it's difficult for people to speak up.

I have "let it slide" in the past.

The last train I ran I did ask everyone to PM ME BEFOREHAND a list of the coupons they were to send to each rider. This is so that I could MAKE SURE no one was sending any substitute coupons by mistake or otherwise. Coocoo was on that last train so I thought the message was received loud and clear.

Apparently not and I am not impressed and I'm pretty disappointed in her. I just opened the envie she sent for my train and of the 4 coupons she sent me, 3 are substitutes.

I have 1$ maple leaf precooked sausage rounds on my list.
I received 2x .75

I have .75 D'italiano on my list.
I received a .50 D'italiano TFT Expiring Dec 31st

I also said no expiries before Jan 31st for me.

What a complete insult! And what do you think you are getting away with?

I'm going to go through the rest of the coupons today, because now quite obviously I have to. If there are any more substitutes I'm sending her envie straight back to her.

I'm really tired of this. The rule was to send 1 stamp for each coupon you DON'T have, so you send the conductor GARBAGE instead of 3 stamps?

I do not want it made up to me, and I will not allow coocoo to board my trains any longer.

[Jezebel]

Substitutions was the reason I stopped boarding VWL Trains I always recieved multiple substituted coupons it is such a disappointment....

[tink30]

I have left neg feedback for dramacita as I have not heard back from her in over a month now about where my train is. I will be doing the same for Lexi'sMama as she has not replied to me either.

[Litesandsirens911]

well, yet ANOTHER SC'er pm'd me to tell me they ALSO never got their end of the trade Nov 22nd from Sandiecoop1.....as far as I am concerned, now that 3 of us have been had, I am pretty sure she never intends on fulfilling her trades to us since she isn't logging on here anymore.

[Zia_Stephie]

One of my trains is currently "delayed" (I wont say derailed due to the craziness CP faces this time of year) but I havent heard anything about it being rec'd.

So with that being said...how long does someone wait around a busy time of year to go from 'delayed' to de-railed...or lost? 1 month from last passenger to next or do you have to wait a little longer...??

Thanks!
