If I send you money and you say you will ship within 2 days, I should not have to spend the next 2 weeks PMing you asking for an update. Once the money is sent, there is very little reason you should avoid responding to my PM. When I message you on another site we both frequent, and you reply that you will get me tracking information, then get me tracking information. Don't go another week without any additional information.
Now that the rant is over, I have a question for Mods here. In the follow up BTR that I guess I will end up filing, should I include the PM from the other website, or does it remain strictly Bartertown communications? Because, to be honest, including that one at least says the seller replied to me after I paid him. On BT, he hasn't replied 1 time since I sent the money, despite having read all PMs with the exception of one I sent earlier today.

Re: Dear seller (and a question for Mods)
The first thing I would do is file a claim with Paypal or whatever service you used- two weeks with zero communication or zero results is unacceptable, and the clock is ticking against you, not him.
Do I owe you a trade ref? Remind me- sometimes I forget!

-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.

Re: Dear seller (and a question for Mods)
If the trade originated here then its a Bartertown trade. I'd include any messages, emails ,anything. - no matter the source.

Re: Dear seller (and a question for Mods)
Starslayer is correct. If it originated here (i.e. the deal was made thru PMs on Bartertown) then it is a B-Town trade and standard BTR rules apply. But please be sure to indicate in the message string where the messages came from to make it easily readable.

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.

Re: Dear seller (and a question for Mods)
Thanks folks. I just posted the BTR. My first in all the years I've been here. And what sucks is I've had good trades with this guy in the past.
