Bad Trader: exodusofman

Post by Walls »

As you can clearly see in the below, he claims to have recieved the package I sent him. He hasn't signed on since March 26th onto the forums at all. It seems very much a "Got it, time to sign in as someone new!" type of message here.

I am missing a lot of posts for some reason as part of the chain. I tried my best to keep replying in the same emails in case this happened. Is it possible he came on during his last visit and deleted all his sent messages?

Just a heads up, once a Mod sees this, they're going to ask for the entire history, including the negotiation. Be sure to post everything from start to finish, and also try to copy it into Word and put all of the PMs in sequential order, starting with the oldest. It makes Mods happy.

I was doing that and then realized I have very few of his responses, even in the email chain. My worry is that he deleted his sent history, perhaps maybe doing the same in my trail?

Walls,

You do need to post all pm's.

Even if the person you were trading with deleted their pm's if you didn't you still have them in the pm history.

If you don't have your Location listed in your User Control Panel, why not take a second and update it? It will let your trading partners know where you are from the beginning.

Have you read the site rules? viewtopic.php?f=44&t=45470 If not do so.

Bad Trader: Josh Aikens aka exodusofman

Post by Walls »

Here is all the information I have regarding a trade with Josh Aikens aka exodusofman (same name on dakkadakka). If it seems weird, it is. I have very few of his replies in the thread because he seems to have deleted them, including his name and address. I was able to get the info through some investigation of my own. Here is EVERYTHING I have on him.

DO NOT TRADE WITH HIM! HE WILL RIP YOU OFF!

Oh, that was my mistake on the books. It's the Chaos Daemon codex and the newest Chaos Marine one.

Let me collect all the titles that I have from the Horus Heresy series. I live in Canada, so trade wise, shipping wouldn't be so bad.

So: Steel legion for CSM codex and 2 Books (which ones interest you the most, I will double check to make sure) and a sentinel (built?) for the O&G book?

I have all your contact info saved from our discussions. We both live in Canada. I don't want to take anything further, but I do either want the stuff you promised me (Steel Legion and Sentinel) or I want all my stuff back please and thank you. I am out a fair amount of cash by sending you my end of the trade and you not sending back.

If I do not hear from you and get a tracking number within the next day I will be sending in a bad trader report.

Re: Bad Trader: exodusofman

Walls,

A couple of things to note for future trades:
Be more precise as to what the deal is. Reading your side of things still leaves me wondering what the deal was for at the end.
It is always good to do a list summary of the transaction after the deal is agreed to so there is no question as to what is beeing sent.
As a trader, it would benefit you to be far clearer in your communication. you seemed to change the deal as much as he was at one point.
Then you were having trouble finding stuff, then you decided to keep stuff....
The point is, you need to only put things up for sale or trade that you will part with if someone expresses interest.
If you are uncurtain, don't post it.

That said, this is a bad situation. You might be able to find his phone # since you have his address, via the interwebs...
Also, how are his messages not in the history that should be stored after each response?
His responses to you should be in your 'In' box regardless of what he does on his end.
From now on I would consider quoting the other person in your responses, that way you always have a record of it.

Again, sorry that this is happening,
Dave

Here are the 2 problems I see:
1)The report is a bit of a train wreck.
With posting all the messages in order without any sort of separation between them, it's one big run on.

2) It's incomplete.
I'm having a hard time understanding the dynamics of the trade.
You can't blame him for deleting anything. Any PM's he sends you stay in your inbox, once they're read. If they've been deleted, only you could have done that.
Any messages from you to him will stay in your sent box until they "age off" of the system. You have a 750 message limit in your "sent messages" box. So, your 750 most recent sent (and read) messages are in there.

Have you tried contacting him via email? What about on Dakka?

ANYYHOW... I have been in touch with him through my own means. He has contacted me and shall see what happens.

I do find it a bit silly that people who fill out BTR's "wrong" get more crap then the thieves that propagate trade forums with free will.

Because it is easy for you to doctor up the post and make things look the way you want. If you don't have the PM chain (which is there unless you delete it, as others have pointed out), then your evidence for your side of the exchange is incomplete. The correct BTR procedure is there to protect all of us from the unscrupulous who might try to give us a bad rep via BTR.

The intent is not to give you 'crap' but to point out how you can avoid some of the trading pitfalls that some of the long term members have encountered.
My comments in particular were to point out some problems with the way that you were conducting the trade.
Your current trade practices were leaving you exposed to potential (in this case did leave you exposed) to trading problems.

Also, as Creeper noted, a BTR is a big deal and has a corresponding level of information that needs to be provided to back up your bad trader claim.
You will find that the mods and other menbers will be very helpful to you over time in tracking down folks and generally helping you out, but you have to provide a concrete basis from which to go after bad traders.

Hopefully, everything will get resolved to your satisfaction!
