Bottom line is, there's no reason not to have one, it has no downside.

Does that mean because I have received damaged cards from you before that you would go on this 'banned traders list'?

It wouldn't work. There are always two sides to every story.

Not everyone knows/uses G.A.B. Even so, these theives may not be on there. Bottom line is, there's no reason not to have one, it has no downside. You can be pissy all you wan't, but I've been screwed by several traders here myself, and others shouldn't have to go through that, just because you don't want it.

I'm with Mr. Lurtzy on this why should I have to go to another website that I have never heard of to see if someone at this website is legit? If people are to be put on a bad trade list for a trade here, the list should be here. If cards are received damaged are not received at all, that can be stated in the reason that person is adding them to the bad list. If it is because the cards are damaged then I can decide for myself if the risk is worth it or not.

The truth is that this thread itself is the thread just for this. I have already read and decided on people I will exchange or not exchange with from it alone, and so far so good.

So while I'm in here let my put these names in the good exchange list!

Putting people on a bad traders list and banning people isn't really the same thing.

90% of bad trading experiences turn into "he said, he said" shouting matches on the boards (let's face it, there are no girls here). The other 10% has someone who just disappears.

The point is, we have a trading references page. If people choose to use the advice of other traders, great. If they still receive that offer that is "too good to be true" (warning sign number one!) and choose to trade anyways, go for it.

There is no way to verify whether or not both traders are indeed "good" traders unless every card is sent to a middle-man moderator who confirms the cards were shipped. Accidents do happen, and while some people do cheat out other traders, there are times where it is a legitimate accident.

If you are uncomfortable with a trader's lack of references, request that they send first. In your case, Lurtzy, and in the case of many others here, people will agree to send first as they are building their trading references.

What's the point of GAB Traders if people don't report bad traders? You should always check out that list before trading with someone you have never traded with before, even if they claim to have references.

I'm sorry that you've been burnt in trades before, but a lot of people have. I think taking precautions is the easiest way to prevent this stuff, but even if you take every precaution in the book you can still get burnt. It's the risk of trading online and even if you check through this thread, there are all sorts of accusations so it's not like the word doesn't get out.

Also, if I have traded successfully with you in the past, I have no problem being a reference for you. I update the list that I keep here from time to time, but checking my mahasamatman.com page (in my signature) or my GAB Traders page (linked in my trading list), you can see other references there.

I also have 100 feedback on eBay and don't mind giving references for eBay sellers if I have purchased from them. I can tell you good experiences and bad there.

I would like to higlhy recommend Kettie here. He can be a pain in personal debate, or public debate for that matter, but he sure trades great and is even willing to learn your language to finalize the trade LOL!
