Ben has supposedly sent the wrong package to the wrong person. I recieved a CD-R almost 2 weeks ago instead of the promised GC and PS2 package. I've been able to keep contact with him until Thursday. Now I get no response and he has yet to send me proof that his side of the trade existed. Anyway, I'll take down the BTR as soon as I get the promised package.

Trevor Has a Gamecube and Ps2 but he never really had time to play any one of them but was really interested in my xbox so he decided to trade me a Gamecube Package and Ps2 Package for my xbox package. We Agreed to send at the same time and I thought we did but obviously Trevor didn't send my 2 packages at all. He told me he was going to mail them through OVERNIGHT EXPRESS MAIL which is delievered the next day and now it's been exactly 3 WEEKS since he was supose to mail them and I still haven't recieved them. There is no such thing as OVERNIGHT EXPRESS MAIL that takes 3 weeks. I'm letting everyone know right now that NOBODY should trade with this guy. He will rip you off so quick that you won't even notice it. Because of Trevor I'm in a lot of trouble. I lost about $700 worth of xbox stuff because of this guy. I'm going to e-mail him non-stop until he mails my 2 packages and pretty soon I'm going to mail a letter to his house but I'm pretty sure that won't help because he will just ignore me the same way he is doing with the emails I sent him.

I traded with him quite a while ago. I sent 5 pc games and he was supposed to send me a regular nes. I tried talking to him on icq but he ignored me.

The trade is my copy of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Devil May Cry for his Gameboy Advance and Legend of Zelda. I was told to send first, seeing that he has more trades than me, I agreed. He received my games. Confirmed by him through email. My end of the deal never came. He claimed it was sent out on Nov.12 through 1st Class Mail. I waited for about 2 weeks and contacted him. He agreed to send back my games by Dec. 4 at the lastest, hopefully, and email me when he does. Well he didn't email me so I contacted him again on Dec. 8. He said the games were sent out. Now it's Dec. 18 and my games are still not here. If I get my games back and it's post marked as he claimed, I might take this down.

Update: Here's the delivery confirmation # 0300 1290 0008 5491 6293

It's great that he filed a Bad Trader Report just because I filed one. There's a rule against that. Anyway I tried to be nice and state what I know without any accusations in my report, but he feel the need to make accusation. Accusing me of ripping him off. Telling people to stay away from me. The email he sent me was so nice too. Ok whatever.

Anyway, I don't see how his accusation makes any sense. If I was to rip him off, why would I even bother with a Bad Trader Report? If I had his stuff and my stuff, Why the heck would I bother to file a report and go through all this? It's pretty obvious I would get a Bad Trader Report on my account in return. I would think that the easy thing to do is just say I got my stuff back and that's that right? What reason is there for me to file the report if I had those items and planned to rip him off? Just to get a BTR in return? Does all this make sense, you be the judge.

However, I'm glad that he's going to send me some receipt to prove that the my games were send out this Saturday. He's also going to the post office on Monday and try to clear this up. If it's proved that the post office is at fault or if the games arrive at a later date postmarked when they are supposed to be postmarked. I will drop this BTR.

Updated 2: Heh, it's Wednesday and to my complete lack of surprise, no receipt, no nothing.

I mailed out Imperialism on September 7th. I have never recieved Arcanum. Furthermore, I have not recieved a single e-mail response from the multiple e-mails I have sent to Mr. Carter. I asked him to inform me when Imperialism arrived, and he never did. I have sent him multiple, polite emails asking him why the delay. He never responded to a single one. I am fed up with waiting for Arcanum to arrive, and he owes me the return of my Imperialism, or to complete the trade.
My excellent trader ratings I have received should somewhat justify my credibility in this accusation. I don't do this lightly, but it's now three months and multiple unresponded e-mails later. In my opinion, he took my game and ran.
