    I saw this work for someone else, so I figured I would try too.

    I posted in a thread started by someone about best sours. I brought up Upland, he and I responded a few times, and I agreed to proxy for the next lottery. He wins, I pick up and pay for the bottles, send with some extras and only asked for a some good beers in return. I sent my box a few days after he was supposed too. He reported he received mine on March 25th, was very pleased with it, and I would receive my package by the end of the week. April 2nd, I ask if he can track my package because I have yet to receive it. April 5th, he tells me he just got back from vacation and found the box on his doorstep because he "muffed the address". He then tells me he will send it the following Monday and shoot me the tracking number. That is the last time he has looked at our conversation, yet he continues to be active on BA. Of course, I have sent him messages asking at least for some communication.

    Full disclaimer of details:
    1) He won the right to purchase 2 bottles, but only wanted one. I could keep the other.
    2) We started setting this up at the beginning of February. At the time, I had not used (or fully understood) the new trading rating system. I traded with old trading partners without following the request, accept, etc. process. He was on BA today and I sent him a trade request so I can hopefully leave feedback. I am extremely doubtful he will accept.

    So my question: how long should I wait to post his name here to ask for an explanation?

    Give him a little time as he may have hoed he would win but didn't. Give him another week and if he doesn't respond put hid name out there. If somebody is screwing someone over they may very well be doing the same thing to other people. I think people should be reported pretty quick. if they don't end out in the agreed tine frame something is probably up unlrss it was something that was spioke about beforehand.

    He hasn't responded to you via BM in a month??? That's more than plenty of time. Do you have his phone number? I'd call him... If not, you should go ahead and call him out here to get an explanation...

    With the information you provided, it took me 1 minute to find out who you're talking about.

    He has been added to my list. Thank you for the warning, OP. I would not even want to begin discussions with someone who is active on BA and can't bother to respond to my messages for over a month. Personally, I would out him, but you've provided enough information for anyone on BA to find him.

    It's been a month already and he's obviously ignoring your messages, it's time to out him.

    I just did a trade with this guy and everything went super smooth. I got a tracking number right after he shipped and communication was excellent. He has a great history. Weird...

    And did I read it right that YOU paid for the bottles or did you pay for them with his money? I really hope you didn't use your own money to proxy for someone. Either way this guy is a bad trader, IMO, due to it being over a month without response.

    Best of luck getting what's owed to you!

    He received his box on March 25 and hasn't responded to you since April 5th? I would have called him out weeks ago. Sounds to me like this guy is a turd. He deserves to be called out.

    This is really confusing. Did you pay for the bottles with your money, or did he send you the money? If the latter, did he pay for the extra bottle for you?

    sorry, you need to call him out before he possibly "screws" someone else over

    Oh where are you @Nickqb7?

    There, I did it. No reason to let him hide any longer. He screwed you over a month ago and hasn't responded in that time.

    All the BA sleuthing always cracks me up. I'd have more confidence in the police if they were as competent as some BA'ers.

    Yes, I bought the bottles with my own money. I didn't want money, I wanted local beer in return. I know, too trusting of me. I figured I would send them after he sent, to protect myself. He lied and never sent. I should also note, we did have really good communication right up to the point that he received his package.

    Some of you guys are all over this. Thanks. And there are some pretty good sleuths on here! Let's see what happens.

    But as a proxy you should never have to use your own money to buy someone else's beer. If he was a good buyer he would have sent you the money for the bottles and then sent a thank you box of local beers for you taking your time to go purchase his beer and ship them to him. Hopefully this thread gets his gears going.

    i've been in the spot where i've offered the money first to the proxy but they preferred to pay the beer first in case there was some issue.

    Agreed. Good traders pay and send good locals or wants.
