Potential Bad Trader

It’s very odd but it’s true of many of these threads here. At this point we can only speculate on whatever happened to her.. still waiting and hoping that the OP hear from her someday. I read many threads here too and rarely chimed in but if in her mind she was thinking « we trade some beers and then you just leave me alone »... IDK. Back in my days we told each others « Thank you ».

 

IMHO, this is all on her. The OP indicated the beer had been delivered to her, which I assume he was able to verify by the tracking number. Obviously, it would have been helpful if she had actually communicated with the OP and told him everything arrived safe and sound, but for whatever reason she didn't do that.

At this point I would assume she would have said something if there was any sort of problem, or she never would have sent the OP the promised beer (as it appears she didn't ship until well after his package had already arrived). The fact she did finally ship his box, with no further commentary on her part, would lead me to infer that everything must have arrived safely on her end.

At this point, I'm not sure what else the OP can do in this case. If she did later tell the OP there was some problem with the shipment he sent her, I would assume his first question would be "if that's the case, why did you wait till now to tell me about it, and how come you didn't respond to any of my earlier communication attempts, which would have been the perfect time to tell me about this problem?"

 

Ok, Ive got a question here. maybe @dmbforever, @Shanex, or @John_M can weigh in with a bit more authority.

So I just checked @David55555 's profile and he still has 3 open trades - one of which I'm assuming is the trade that is the subject of this thread. Assuming it is, if John leaves feedback for the other party, but the other party never leaves feedback, the feedback is deleted after 180 days, right?

Now, if Im understanding it correctly, since the new feedback score calculation went into effect, the unnamed other party would get dinged in her reputation score for failing to leave feedback, correct?

But if she leaves feedback and John left her neutral feedback, would that impact her feedback score at all?

 

Anyone think of a reason to keep this thread open any longer? There hasn't been any further commentary in more than a week now.

Doesn't sound like the OP is likely to ever hear anything further from his trading partner.

 

If @John_M is cool with it and as he said, I doubt there’s a reason to keep the thread going on. OP got his beers, the trader in question got MIA for no reason, appropriate feedback has been left.

Strange case as often, these threads never fails to surprise us. While it wasn’t a bad trader per se case, it surely was intriguing. For every traders reading this, telling your trading partner « I got your beers, many thanks » isn’t too much to ask.

Cheers.

 

Couldn't agree more, and yet over and over again, we see examples of traders who don't extend this simple courtesy. Definitely agree it's time to close this thread down. Thanks @Shanex
