What would you think if you made a trading deal and nothing arrived to you?

What would you think if you made a trading deal and nothing arrived to you? You ask yourself and the answer is:

1. the animals are on their way
2. the original animals were lost and new ones are on the way
3. the animals were resent

but after months nothing arrives to you?

I'm not sure I got the idea.
You sent some figures in a trade and you haven't received your part of the trade. Is it Andreas?

Thats right.

Hmmmm

As you in Dresten, there is very little chance that a package for you would be lost.

If it is not somebody you know and like and trust, I would cut my losses, consider that a very bad trade, and never trade with him/her again

Yes, but a very little chance. I know that can pass. So i think it is not a problem if they was one sending, but 3 and all lost. And also only from the same?

I think you have been unfortunate and met one of the very few dishonest persons among collectors

Nothing much you can do, but never trade with that person again

Ohhh, this is SO terrible, - ONE person can ruin the trust and friendship of thousands of collectors

I hope it wasn`t very valuable stuff ?

And would you warning the all the others and so say the name?

I am not sure you should, - it could be slander, because this is a public forum

But, - OMG ! It isn`t somebody from the forum, is it

Sorry, but yes.

You could tell Susanne via PM.
Is there any way we can help you sort things out Andreas?

Thank you. The animals that i lost are not the big problem, more the disappointment. And i dont know if i can believe this person or not. And so i think it is a little bit important also for other members they sometimes trade.

A very difficult situation, I'm sorry Andreas.

I'm sorry Andreas. That is really unpleasant.

My own tentative view is that identifying the person in a public post is probably not a good idea. But it seems acceptable to communicate the information with others privately. The feeling you have that others should be warned is admirable and expressing your concern, again privately, seems to me to be legitimate. People talk, word spreads, and others can take your experiences into account when deciding whether to trade with that person. However, one worry, among many, about expressing these concerns in a public post is that you risk creating an acrimonious environment.

These are just my own thoughts. I'm not trying to push my views on you at all. Rather, I'm just hoping to give you some things to consider as you are asking yourself how to proceed.

all the best,
scott

Hi, Andreas, can You tell us from which country is that person?

Best wishes
Jarda

It is nobody from the old and established members. It is a silent member with a few posts. And it was not a trading offer.

It's even worse that way...when was the person last seen online?

That is good to know !!!!

Uhhh, what a relase

This month, but not often all the time.

Andreas, That is so disapointing!! I am so sorry that this happened to you! And very displeased that they are one of our members!!

If I were ripped off I would be so angry and probably put a hole in the wall. I'm guilty of waiting for my stuff to arrive before shipping the partner's items just to make sure I am not being ripped off. I know goatherder, Froggie, widukind, and NandO are safe traders so I won't wait to ship their items now!

Not guilty, just playing it safe.  

I agree I was playing it safe... It was also my mother's set rule.

ive been fortunate that everyone ive traded with both here in STS and other forums were trustworthy and good people. if it isnt ethical to post scamming people's names, would it be right to post reputable collector/traders names?    (just an idea)

It is long time ago and it was only one of????

I'm sorry to hear that a packaged is lost Andreas.
It makes you wonder why people do that

I hope the person reads this topic and is aware whet he/she is doing...
