How not to do deals here on ODT.....a story of one such adventure...

[Barbwire]

You have been here 7+ years, done some trades, and have no negs. Why would anyone ignore you?

I have read on some threads that say they won't trade with people that have so few trades. I don't think most would worry about it.

Your word is supposed to mean something. Once you commit, should be done deal.

Guys, please don't discount everyone that has a few trades or sales (like me). Many of us have been here a long time and just don't do a heap of buying or trading but our word is good.

What he said^^^^^^^^^^^

If you make a deal and everything is set to go in PM's like it's suppose to be and the buyer or seller goes south and quits communicating and you don't leave a Neg Feedback, your just hurting the rest of us.

ive had that happen here recently, a fellow ODTer member pm'ed me saying "Ill take it, whats your PayPal?"
(small somewhat inexpensive item to be shipped)

I sent PayPal info, expecting payment pretty quick
Few hours later, sent another message saying " please let me know when you send payment"
In the mean time, 2 other members were interested but as the honest person I am, I told them it was sold.. Since a deal was apparently reached and awaiting payment.

The Following day, I sent another message politely requesting payment so I can ship item quick and hold up my end of the deal.

2 weeks later still have not heard anything....
Said Member has been online multiple times....

It aggravates me to no end.... if you want it, ill gladly sell it to you and meet or ship.
but if your gonna just blow smoke up my crack, just move on and don't waste my time..
sheesh!

In the second message (after a no-response) I would include a cut-off - "if I don't hear from you by <...> it's going to someone else." Give them what you consider a reasonable time, and move on (and neg).

Neg em. I would hate to give someone good business who unbeknownst to me has been screwing over my buddies.

I see no reason not to deal with you. Your feedback is positive and that shows you are a man of your word.
