Trade gone wrong?

Considering it was only five days ago and you haven't called him or "threatened" him yet, I think this might be a little too soon to call him out as a bad trader. Don't get me wrong, bad communication is inexcusable, but you should try other options (call/text him, threaten to out him on BA, etc) before calling him out.

 

Did you already report him? Or was he reported by someone else between the time you agreed to the trade and the time you started getting suspicious?

 

So this BA isn't ggwheeler?

 

Then the next step is to call him. Repeatedly if necessary. Leave him voicemails saying that you need tracking information or else you'll have to out him as a bad trader.

 

Kinda moot...he's already on the list.

 

Oh, well in that case....

I guess the OP's only hope then is to bug the living shit out of him.

 

5 days really and already getting the bonfire ready? maybe something happened and he's got some thing more important than a beer to worry about? who knows..... I'd say give him another week or something man geez.

I recently did a trade with a guy in his box showed up just before I left for hunaphu day...... thank god he's not burning me at the stake.

or the trade I recently did the showed up Friday while I was in Florida at the pegs tasting...... he could be building a bonfire too...

bottom line upon the day or 2 off on shipping or even 3 or 4 days I've never had anybody disappointed with the box
and there's always communication I always let my trade partner know what's going on as soon as i can sometimes it may be a couple days with no communication. family and health is more important than a beer. If its a regular stand up guy it should be fine
just calm down and give it a little more time.

if your out of beer go to your local bottleshop and grab a few or Damn i could send you something.....

To many bad trader threads lately and people jumping the gun.....
at my work place we have quite a few people out with the flu right now.

disclaimer I do not know either trader involved with this trade either. I am just sayin

 

ummm...

This is a different scenario. Guy has been reported by two others after OP sent his box. I don't think this is a case of overreaction, but rather him seeking advice on how to handle this SPECIFIC situation.

 

i completely agree on this needs some better communication on his end but give him the benefit of the doubt maybe something did happen I don't know..... has he been on BA since last time you tried to get ahold of him? Good place to start

 

In my most recent trade, we both agreed to send a picture of the beer that was promised before either of us shipped. This avoids the issue of trading something that you don't actually have in-hand.

 

I think their needs to be a rule that you MUST name the user when posting a bad trader thread.

 

I didn't see that of course there's been so many bad traders lately i haven't looked at the list lately either

 

Im not sick very often, but when I am out with the flu I usually cozy up in my flannel PJs and watch TV on the couch while eating mass amounts of Ramen. I dont think it would be too far fetched to take 5 minutes from that busy schedule to sign on BA and send a BM. If anything, being home sick usually leaves you less busy then when you are actually at work.

 

no prob. I just didn't want clonies to be made to feel he is overreacting when this is a guy who's been discussed by two other BAs recently as a possible bad trader.
