Well it's good to see that people are talking. Dave, you did have some good trades over on our site and it is always an unfortunate event when the MOD Staff has to cut ties with any member of a trading forum. However, I see 3 things that were brought up:
1.) a family member almost passing away
2.) Marking items shipped when they weren't...regardless of "life getting in the way"
3.) admitting to overextending yourself
All 3 of those issues can be resolved by SIMPLE COMMUNICATION...something you chose not to do when I had PM'ed you thrice, as well as emailed your personal email address. As a long-standing MOD on another forum, I have seen far too many instances when a perfectly good trader goes belly-up in their deals, and we have to cut them loose. When I see someone NOT replying to multiple communication attempts, then what does that look like to us? A simple reply of, "hey, I am dealing with some family/personal events would more than suffice.
NEVER mark something as shipped when it's not. I don't care if you intend to mail something after you mark it as such, the bottom line is that it's not mailed...period. It's like saying you've paid the electricity bill, yet the power is cut off anyways because the check had insufficient funds. The bill is not paid for unless money is in the account...and items are not mailed/shipped until that postmark is slapped on the package and it's physically on the way.
As it stands, I understand your side that these are just cards and not the end of the world when it comes to family, and I am sorry to hear of your strife, but communication is key in anything, whether it be in life, in school, in work...or in a partnership. That's all we ask...answer a PM.
I would like to see these deals completed, and then we can/will discuss bringing you back to our other forum. For now, I would like to see everything resolved. That is all from me.
