User jteeuwen-Total waste of time..
« on: June 03, 2011, 11:24:34 AM »
I just wanted to warn everyone out there about the dealings I have had with this user.. To make a long story  short, we agreed on a ball for ball and $10 cash trade almost 2 weeks ago. I told him we would ship the same day and he could never give me a day/date when he could ship. He finally said he would ship last Monday. I sent him several private messages this week asking if the ball was shipped on that day like he said it would be and he never even had the common courtesy to respond and let me know anything. I know he logged on today and most of the other days this week as it shows the last login date in his profile. Why do people totally ignore private messages and not follow through with what they said they are going to do?  Its a total waste of time for the other user.I had the ball I was trading to him all packed up and ready to go as soon as I heard the word he was ready to ship..
 
I am not out anything in this deal other than 2 + weeks of time. I would still be very careful in dealing with this user unless you enjoy being strung along for nothing.

It really is embarrassing when you know the people log in and read messages but still fail to respond.  Like you said, you're not necessarily out anything (although you could have sold it if you weren't holding it for him), but common courtesy is really on the decline now a days.

I just had a guy do that to me on here as well.  I will not name any names but they wanted to trade for a ball and was very responsive to PMs for the deal.  Set up the deal and agreed a trade.   I sent my tracking number right away, but I never drop off the box until the other party provides at least a tracking number (although they can void it, they at least made an attempt).   This person said they would get the number the next day for me, when they shipped it.   One day goes by no number, two days no number...etc.   Sent about 4 or 5 PMs asking about what was going on, no replies.  Eventually I voided the shipment and traded to somebody else on here.  
 
If I would of sent my ball, I would of been out a ball.
 
My rule always is now...If you do not provide a tracking number, I do not release your shipment....and it should work vise versa if I didn't provide one.
