[Richardalcala]

Guys please do not trade with folks that r not on trusted traders. I have turned down a few guys. Sorry to hurt your feelings but I can't trade with you now. I no what it feels like to get ripped off. No fun.

[BlackJester]

Some of these people have made proper trades in the past, and people have to get on the list somehow.
Start small if there's doubt.

^This. I am not going to lie. When I started trading here, all the trades I made amounted to no more then $7. One because I did not know who I could trust and two I had no reputation on this website. I gained the trust of some people with my feedback on another site (not eBay) which is 75+ positive feedback and 0 negative feedback. You want my advice, I am still skeptical about some of the people on this site. I make people who have no reputation send first. If they are not on the trusted trader list at least two or three times or have a link where they can show me their credibility, I make them send first. If they want to back out of a trade at that point that is fine by me. In my 3+ years of trading online, I have still not been ripped off. It all comes down to common sense. Stick to low dollar trades, gain some credibility with the mods or other iMtG frequent regulars (Like myself or Sagemaster). When you have a credible reputation, then start wheeling and dealing your Mindsculptors and foil Snaps. If you are skeptical of someone or they have no reputations make them send first for your sake. I really hate to see people get ripped off, especially because iMtG has one of the best communitys for this game I have ever seen. This applies to the regulars as well, please dont let yourselves get ripped off by people that are new to this thing and think they can get away with stealing. I understand we want to give newbies a good impression so they can join our community and be a part of this, but dont be so laxed you let yourselves get ripped.

I almost never go against my gut cause it's ALWAYS right but I did for the ZW guy cause he kept nagging me about my half

[Elitehalo360]

Oh and do not trust Invaderzim I was setting up a trade with him and asked him to send first and I think he blocked me or something cause I can't veil his profile and it won't let me send him messages

I'll just say that when I get back, if not all my trades have arrived, I'm going to lose my [expletive deleted] and hunt you down. After spending over a month in Syria, I expect all cards to be waiting for me. Nothing takes over a month to arrive, especially pieces of cardboard. This place has made me angry.

~Your friendly neighborhood Jester.

Ooo Syria?? How was/is it?

This really sucks to hear about guys.  I really thought the Joey thing was an isolated incident.  Pretty naive of me to believe that.  I hope this work out for you guys.  You could always contact the local authorities in their area....you have their name, address, and written communication to prove the transaction.

Committing a crime across state lines is a felony offense and gives the federal government jurisdiction as well.

Also on all 14 trades i have done on here i have sent mine with delivery conformation its .85 cents more and if you have that and need to contact authorities like clntr81 has just said you have physical proof togo with your claim. To me its worth it. Plus it gives peace of mind to who your trading with so they can track it.

what about country lines (Canada)

[cltrn81]

what about country lines (Canada)

I imagine it is definitely a felony.  You will have to try to get some local authority contact info in the city he is at in Canada and go from there.

I would bet that any contact from the police to him will have him scarred enough to return the cards.  So really all you need to do is see if the police will at least question the guy and tell the police that you don't want to press charges if you get your stuff back.
