I am very sorry to hear of this. It is another cautionary tale for the BST. His total posts in the last few years is 6. The number of posts a member has is our informal feedback system. That low total is a bit of a flag to do some vetting of your trading partner. I am not, at all, saying it was your fault, if it is what you said and I am not questioning that. You probablly need your full name (can be a bit jumbled for searching issues) but other than that, the more info the merrier....minus phone numbers (which he gave in most of his posts) or addresses. If I can help any please PM me about it.....

Sad.. When ever there is something good like the BST that really helps fellow collectors some idiots always seem to find a way to ruin it!!

An unfortunate situation but a good example of why paypal goods is best when dealing with someone you don't know. I know I wouldn't send a check or use paypal ff unless it was someone a dealt with before, or who was well known on the board. Even then I would have reservations. A 3% fee isn't bad for peace of mind.

The "other" site I used to be on is full of scammers. I still go there, but mostly for entertainment.

I have never had a problem here. Buying or selling.

When I first started here, I did pay attention to the number post the person had. Not fail-safe, but it was the only thing I had to go by.

As time has gone by, I have established "friendships" with several members who buy/sell the same type of cards I do (T206). I have no problem sending PP FF to any of them.

OP, sorry to hear about this. Thanks for giving folks a heads-up. I would have thrown it up there after 1 month of nothing. Just me though.

I never do business with anyone on here unless they are a known commodity with lots of references spanning many years.

I would recommend that SOP for everyone
