Need advice - trade partner's account banned

Post by james4177 »

I'm in the middle of trade and the other side of the trade has had his account banned...

He shipped me his stuff already and it arrived in close enough condition that I'm not concerned about the differences.

I've got his stuff ready to go. I can ship with a tracking number but I don't have any way to communicate with him now that his BTown account is banned.

I could look him up (he's in Canada, I'm in the States) and try to call him I guess...?

Any advice?

I'd say just ship it, not much else you can do.

Out of curiousity, what did he do to get himself banned?

On topic- I would just ship it, maybe the mods/watch can set you up with his email address, so you can communicate until the trade is over.
Do I owe you a trade ref? Remind me- sometimes I forget!

If you don't have your Location listed, take a second and update it!

-I respond within 48 hours unless utterly incapable. Please do the same. Any offer I make stands for that long as well.
-Lower rating? You ship/pay first. Same goes for me.

'How Much for...?' messages will no longer be replied to at all. I've been nice about it, now I'm done.

The note by his name says multiple accounts, and trade indiscretions.

His trade was missing a couple of pieces (bits) but not enough to make me report him, and he offered to paypal the cost of them but I told him not to worry about it.

He seemed ok to me.

I mailed the package off today. I'm keeping my receipt on this one.

Thanks for the advice.

If it just happened, it's one of 2 people. I've banned 4 accounts (2 people) in the last week. Both were active traders.
If you need to be able to contact them, PM me and I will provide you with an email address.

I think what this situation needs is some imagination.
