A lesson for everyone to learn. The bad thing about going public with this kind of situation is that some people can make bad comments straight away without knowing the whole story. Then later regret what they said coz they'll find out that its their buddy-buddy. :v:
Yep, just chill I say. Most everyone on here's reasonable!
For instance I sold a card to Kuvenile which stated in the auction that it was factory creased. He contacted me when he got it and wasn't happy, seems like it either got further damaged in the mail or I didn't notice how bad it was.
He sent me a PM saying not happy, I said fine, return and I'll give a full refund - easy fix! No need to stress about these things I say
Where are all the lynch-mobbers now that the issue has been sorted out?
Seriously, this BS thing goes on way too much. Sure, I like to see the positive in everyone (and occasionally I will get burned), but why should common sense, decency & a common courtesy be thrown out the window?
Even with eBay sales that I'm not happy with the seller, I still give them the opportunity to offer to do the right thing, ad then if an agreement can't be worked out, then I proceed pursue the negative course of action.
The beauty of this board is that unlike eBay/Paypal, we have sensible Admins who are realistic & do their job, and should the second point of reference if tere's a problem (the 1st & most important is communication with te other party).
Wouldn't we want our fellow member's treating us with respect?

I'm against the whole name and shame thing. Stuff can always be worked out best between the members involved and if necessary with one of our friendly mods. Opinions are like arseholes and too many don't help.
On a side note, I once bought a few base cards from a member a long time ago and they pm'd me saying that they'll send them in penny sleeves and in an envelope, no top loaders. When I asked why no top loaders they replied saying that they're 'just base' and he'd charge another $2 for any top loaders they would send I'm glad you guys worked it out.
i just joined this forum about 2 weeks ago and have made a truck load of trades already... i was initially sending everything in white envelopes and some of u may still receive those as they went out a few days ago. However, i was nicely told about the protocol via PM by a member who i sent the cards to... very informative, helpful and constructive... i should have read the thread re packing cards for trade, but this person was kind enough to let me know nicely... thats what this forum should be all about . lets not bicker and argue until we know the facts... now who's got some more gordons for me?????

Yes.. sticky posts are very useful.. members here and mods are always around to help, just post in card discussion anything about cards.. u will get lots of responses too..
I have to agree with "ACE E". Some of you appear to be vultures, just waiting for someone to pounce on. I think giving anyone a second chance is a "human" thing to do. We all make mistakes, and we all need a little forgiveness sometimes. When I first registered on this site, I had discovered a member who stiffed me for $129US and took himself off Ebay. We've talked since, with a promise of payment. He also knows that if he doesn't pay, I will identify him, as many members here have asked me to do.
