You ignored my question, should we exchange money two-fold in every single TRADE on head-fi?

There is absolutely no logical argument for selling COD in today's market. Our bad deal was a decade ago, pre-PayPal. If the buyer is uncomfortable with limited feedback they c'est la vie. In this case it's fairly obvious that the buyer never had the funds/intended to pay.

That's why you gotta pay first before getting your hamburger at maccas. Since when does payment go after delivery?

I always sell/buy with paypal fees included. That way scams are prevented.

No.
 

Your "common sense" is contradictory.

The way I like to do trades is like the way I previously mentioned. But generally, not every trade should be dealt with the same way. It all depends on trust (feedback, previous dealings, etc.).
 

 

[kiteki]

Yeah, I traded with someone with 2000+ posts and +11 feedback, and he used the words "mutural trust".

Who is the buyer?
 
I don't care who the buyer is whether it is someone new or someone with greatt feedback over many years I would never ship before getting money. That's just silly so that is something to learn from in this situation. If a buyer wants you to ship before paying then I would move on to someone else who wants to buy it. Also you should have shipped them better with some padding and such instead of just throwing the customs in. I hope you learned from this at least in that you should never ship before getting paid. 
 
I do hope that there is some kind of resolution to this and that you have learned from this situation.

rawrster,
 
When we trade, we don't wait for payment before trading.
 
You basically just called every trade on head-fi "silly".

@Kiteki You do know people can fake email addresses, bank accounts and home addresses, yes?

 

[kiteki]

Stupid people, yes.

Hi,
Do you think Interpol/or Canadian police can help me with this?
It is starting to feel like a theft to me~
you take something without paying.
Then you disappear without a word for more than a day,
Can the shopkeeper report the matter to the police?
There's absolutely no reason for him not to be on here when he knows he have not paid/or return the goods.

Right now I have his home address,
Email, and all the recorded conversations in my pm (with time included)
Not to mention my bank account records which will easily show I didn't get the 405usd.

Can I make a case against him?

I think he might lose due to the recorded evidence I have.
I'll give him till Sunday to respond.

 

[Benjerry]

I also have the mailing receipt and the the records in the ems tracker to prove he receive my Merlin.

 

[Benjerry]

And he left hard evidence with the photos he took

Hey buyer ^^ let's play

 

[nikp]

You can report him but the police certainly wouldn't prioritise it. It's a bummer.

 

[Benjerry]

Maybe not a criminal offense,
But I might win it in a civil court
