The Dispute Thread - Check Traders, Report Suspicious Activity, Rippers, & Reputation

Looks like I got ripped off by EriqDeSmasher. He said he'd sent two weeks ago, but I haven't gotten it. I had delivery confirmation to prove mine arrived. He hasn't replied to my posts, and now he's banned. I'll forward you the PM. Its a shame too. I would have thought trading with someone with 100 refs would be a safe bet.

I'm having an issue with EDQ as well. Now he's banned, and I haven't received his second shipment of cards (it was a replacement, he said the mail system was having issues). Both sides of the trade were valuable, and I need those cards, so please help!

I bought bulk RHs and Holos from EriqDeSmasher in the middle of November. Said that they shipped them out. A month later and I never got them. I contacted and they said they would ship out again. It's been about 3 weeks and still no cards and no replies to my PM. I apologize for posting negative feedback before posting here. I really just want my $20 back, but if they refuse then I at least want to warn everyone! Do NOT buy or trade with this person! They are a rip!

@Yoshi: I got the EXACT same reply from him... Said he shipped a replacement but I never got anything.

 

[Muddy68]

Send me all the PMs that you two exchanged.

 

[theducktamer]

Alright. I'll send all of the ones I have.

Would you like me to forward them individually or put them all together in 1 PM?

 

[Muddy68]

All together in one PM, in the quote format.

I got ripped off by EriqDeSmasher we made a deal to trade back in October I sent out Donphan Prime and RH Catcher for his 3 Gothitelle and 1 Full DCL. I sent a pm letting him know I was delayed in shipping but I did send out and about a week later I asked if he received said he forgot about our trade and said he was having trouble with his local Post Office. I pretty much just dropped the trade at that time because I couldn't afford to get another Donphan or RH catcher.

If you have

Still haven't been helped with my issue concerning EDS. I believe I PM'd Omahanime, but I may be wrong. Sorry if I'm being pushy, but I needed those cards and still haven't gotten them.

I made a trade with Alexmf2 on Dec 16 (which is the date we exchanged addresses) and he completely forgot about the trade. I was being patient until I sent a PM the other day and he said he was using the cards we made the deal for in his deck for cities and asked me to wait a few days. Then he proceeded to send another PM asking if we can change the original deal. I don't know what to do now. I told him that I want the cards from the original deal, but he stopped replying to my PMs and the fact that he is now using them in a deck, they are not going to be NM as he had originally stated.

 

[omahanime]

When he did not send out originally, he backed out of the deal. He can either rework the deal (be fair to him) or take the backing out of the deal.

 

[Sleeping Snorlax]

So, then there are no real repercussions for him despite the fact that he is breaking the trading rules? We just either cancel the deal or make a new one?

6. "Backing out" or "Not sending":

a. "Backing out" of a trade is where both people have exchanged addresses, and then one trader decides for some reason they don't want to trade anymore. If you are caught doing this, you will receive a 3-week ban and a negative ref from the trader you backed out on. The ban may become permanent if do this a second or third time. A negative rep also will scar your trade record forever and can prevent you from getting verified seller permission. Backing out is very rude. When you agree to a trade, another trader is setting their cards aside for you, and waiting to send them out. Or in some cases, they may have already sent them, and you may have to send back. This is a very annoying ordeal to have to go through. So ask yourself before you back out of a trade with someone: "Is it worth a 3 week ban and a negative rep?"

You are calling that "no real repercussions"?

I was also ripped off by him. I have a ready traded with him 5 times, but the 6th time didn't work...:/ I think someone told me his wife had a Baby though. He was a good trader.

 

[Sleeping Snorlax]

I just wanted to make sure. Your original reply made it seem like I just had to deal with him backing out or change the trade and he get off scratch free. But what do I do if he doesn't reply to me? Should I give him one more week or has the three I've given him been enough?

He has 2 options
1) rework deal to satisfy you or
2) be banned from PokéBeach for backing of trade.

He was a very good trader, but there is little excuse in making trades with many members, if there are issues with the pregnancy and disappearing without notice for over a month.

MrGatr and I made a trade recently, and a few minutes ago I received a profile comment that basically said he got a better offer and he was aware of backing out. Addresses were not exchanged, I just gave him mine.
