    This might be a little premature, but I think waiting months before doing anything is too long.

    This trader posted an ISO of a couple of SARA bottles for a 3F bottle about 2 weeks ago (want to keep out the details until I hear back from the community as the specific ISO and FT would out him with a simple search)

    We both agreed to ship the next day. I shipped the next day, sent tracking info via BA message and text message and received zero communication with him (this was the last day hes signed into BA, 10/20)

    I gave it a week, as I know things can happen. Sent him another message on BA and also sent him another text, again with no response.

    Meanwhile, I sent a couple of messages to his last 5 traders and 3 of them told me that he went MIA for a 1-2 months after they shipped him their bottles. 2 of them did not receive their bottles until they left him negative feedback/called them out in the forums.

    I also did some quick detective work and found his public Instagram page and saw that hes been posting pictures from bottle shares hes been to a week after I shipped out his bottles.

    He still has not signed into BA since 10/20 and while 2 weeks is a short time to call someone out, I believe this type of consistent behavior is unacceptable. Things can happen in life for delays to happen, but zero communication throughout the process is bad form.

    Thoughts?

    Does the guy you're trading with still have negative feedback from those previous trades?

    No, they promised to change feedback if things were resolved.

    If he had negative feedback to start with, I wouldn't have traded with him to begin with.

    Based on the detective work you did, call him out here now.

    And this is why doing this is a bad thing. I know people get happy when a "bad trader" finally comes through, but when they leave good feedback they do a disservice to unsuspecting future traders like yourself.

    That's odd, the trader in question has not only 100% rating but no one even left a hint of troubles in their trade feedback. Everyone gave great reviews of him. I'd be equally upset with those people you've talked with that went month(s) without communication and let them know by giving him glowing feedback they've contributed to this mess.

    Anyone think a call out this early is unwarranted?

    Mutually agree to ship same day, it's been 2+ weeks since you've heard from him? I'd say it's time.

    Hell no. This guy didn't ship when he said he would and hasn't responded to multiple messages even though he has time for Instagram. This isn't even borderline. Even if he sends the bottles he owes he's a shitty trader and not somebody I would ever want to deal with.

    Nope. Not with him ignoring texts and having a history of similar behavior.

    Out the MoFo - if all of the above is correct, this guy is clearly a bad trader. I am very sorry for your troubles, but this guy sounds like a complete tool.

    Frankly, I am pissed with the other people who have interacted with this douche and changed feedback to positive once they got their bottles - the whole point of the feedback system is to make sure people don't dick each other about like this.

    Agreed. They should have, at bare minimum, left neutral feedback and explained why. Compromises the entire feedback system when people leave positive feedback when it obviously isn't warranted.

    @F2brewers or @blue-dream

    Noticed that this guy still isn't tagged in his profile page, and his settings have also been changed so you can't see when he last logged in. Has he been on since this thread went up? Can we get his profile tagged? Thanks!

    Very curious thing happened just now. A simple Google search reveals someone with the same handle on Twitter, who happens to be from LA and wearing a very similar Dodger hat to the one in the @HelloImTravis profile pic. I then clicked on his Untappd profile--same handle, same pic as his profile here--and see he was active, drinking and checking in his beers 16 hours ago. Had quite a Halloween it seems, too. But no time to complete his BA trades.

    Get rid of this ***hole.

    Good detective work! Before he is sent to the cornfields, every effort must be made to smoke him out and get him to send the beer OP is owed.

    OP, did you text him, call him, try to contact him on other social channels? If he has not logged in here but is active in other places contact him there, he may never come back here.

    His Untappd indicates that he drank a Batch 3 Appreciation on October 23, 2015 and a Love's Armor Batch 4. Also a West Ashley the same day. I assume these are beers OP sent.
