I reckon this is most appropriate place to put a FLAKER/SCAMMER alert, so that you can have a quick look before your buying..

Plenty of legit people here, transactions go on everyday and theres that odd one that goes down but for the most part people are happy.

Most sites with a MP are like this anyway, if you're really worried about it take it to Ebay where its much safer.

If someone sends me a package that did not do justice to the pictures he send me, do i have the right to ask for refund even if i passed the 45 days paypal protection?

For example, if someone send me pics of very nice shoes and then sends me some creased as fuck shoes. What do i do?
If you havent done anything in 45 days then regardless you wont get anything back. Unless the seller took ages to ship it/sent by slow postage why have you left it so long.

What proof does the seller have that you havent worn them/they got creased in the post.

It works both ways and buyers need to be reasonable as well.

Here is what I think.

There should be a thread called: Official Scammer List.
Only mods should have acces to it. There they can post all the scammers and maybe flakers in one list. (old + recent)
If you personally deal or have dealt with a scammer you should contact a mod and explain the situation.
Then it is up to the mods to judge. If they think your reasons are well founded, they can add the scammer to the list.
This is just an idea. It's up to the mods if they want to do something with it :)

I ain't gonna view all 72 pages, and write down all the scammers

Avoid u.g.a.s.s. and his ebay name was mau5etot.

I tried to buy a beige wooly panda off of him. He sent me tagged photos of it. Everything seemed legit.
Then as time passed, I didn't recieve my hoody, he kept coming up with excuses about it being delayed then finally gave me a date I was to get it. Was supposed to get it on the Monday(last week) but didn't, waited till the Tuesday then still no hoody. So I messaged him over ebay and he replied:

"hi
i have received an sms on a successful delivery... weird."

Then he deleted his ebay account. I phoned paypal and explained all this to them and they gave me a full refund. Thank fuck! Cause it was after 45 days.

Anyway, stay away from this guy. Don't have his email address or anything but he was from Hungry.

^^^you almost fucked yourself........theirs no way in hell that i would let it go that long no matter what excuse he came up with.....i know it's the worst thing in the world but even a death in his family wouldn't stop me....bottom line is after i pay if i don't have some kind of tracking within 3 days i'm going to paypal

Understand that it's the principle of allowing someone to carry on as near to normal after they have committed a crime.

Slarsenr; said:
If you get banned theres always ways to get access again anyway, so the red sta thing is a good idea.
The point is it makes it more difficult for them to sell their shit as they have low credibility as a new user; as well as having to deal as someone else cos their names and address should be published on BT, and I don't think most decent people would want thieves enjoying this site.

If you all think it's a great idea, quit the talking and suggest it to the mods and/or put a vote up for all of BT.
