And I feel icky about it.
How are you suppose to trust trades if someone is going to scam you out of coupons. To make matters worse I have a few trade that should be here by now but nothing... Someone emailed me that they haven't gotten my envelope what if someone gives me a negative feed back??? I KNOW I sent my part of the trade... Every single one of them!

I know the mail is still a little slow because of catching up from the strike... Sucks about scammed though... Do you need anything replaced? Maybe I can help a little?

Hearing things like this makes me leery to trade at all anymore. I would definitely pm an mod. I know one of my trades was over a month and a half late because of the strike. It finally came after much anxiety waiting for the mail everyday.

Check out this thread, it's the place where Smart Canucks asks that negative trade experiences be kept.

That said the mail is still slow. I'm waiting on a number of things from before the postal lockout.

No it wasn't for fpc it was for like 10 stamps and a few other coupons. This person has scammed some more too because now he/she has 8 negative ratings.
I'm just hoping my other ones come and are just slow from the strike... I guess I'm not so much worried that I got scammed... Ya it sucks that I'm out coupons and now stamps but if I'm not getting it on my end are they getting it on their end? It would be horrible if anyone ever thought I scammed them.

Dont worry too much about the trades that are late, canada post has a lot of mail to sort so there is a delay. I had an envelope to the same person get lost twice, I felt horrible since it probably seemed like I was scamming her, in the end it cost me more stamps to mail her the coupons then she sent me for them! Not everyone is out to scam.

I suppose it is inevitable that there are some bad apples out there. I, too, was scammed for Kelloggs FPC by someone in Saskatoon. All you can do is post a negative rating and let it be. Think of all the good trades you have done...one bad apple doesn't spoil the whole bunch. (But ya, it doesn't feel very good.)

Thank you but I'm good..... I just needed to vent... there was a link posted about bad traders and black listed people... I sure wish I had seen that link as his name was on it... now whether or not it just got put there I don't know but it's a link I sure would have liked to have looked at before.

Yikes!! This is terrable, I enjoy trading and have only had good experiences so far. This is a good reminder to me to check the 'Negative Experience' thread, and to check trade raitings before commiting to the trade.
Sorry to hear you were scammed.Last edited by EdmontonGal; Fri, Jul 15th, 2011 at 10:38 PM.
