Spamming Trader---Avoid
Ok so I had an agreed to trade with a member. After acceptance he messages me and tells me that 8 of the cards in the trade are not available and will replace them with relic cards of my choice. Now I'm not happy with the situation but agree, with the agreement that he sends first due to him changing the trade after acceptance (and at the time only 5 trades completed). Now he still hasn't marked sent, his end has not arrived, and I get notifications on my trade page to ebay auctions sent in trade messages, which won't go away because no matter what I do the trade won't disappear since he will have to mark sent, received, etc..to close the trade. So... martinmartinbrian your name is out there to stop this crap.

I just got pinged on a cancelled trade from him with a link to an EBay auction. Very odd.

I've sent a PM to floydtown and rayeates reporting this. I was willing to be forgiving on the trade part, as long as I got mine first (even though it wasn't what I originally wanted), but now putting out auction listings to traders in his "file" for lack of a better word is not acceptable.

Holy Crap...that is one of the reasons I avoid ebay now. Man am I glad I insisted he ship first after trying to change the agreed to trade. Sad thing is if he hadn't of tried that, I would have sent and going by what you can see on the bay would never have got squat and out a $30 auto.
Oh and he has sent another message in my trade notifications asking me to go bid on his item. Not only is that annoying but everytime I get a message from him it also goes into my regular email box.

RE: Spamming Trader---Avoid
He spammed me as well today. I had a trade with him and all went well (a trade I accepted more to get rid of stuff than get needed cards). In Mid-August he came back a second time and offered a bunch of cards I did not need. He had most of his cards marked as Mint and mine at NrMint so after a bit a research, I came up with an acceptable trade. He accepted the trade and then came back and requested more value. He proceeded to try to have a discussion on why he feels the NrMint standard used by Beckett should not be and that fresh out of pack cards should be considered Mint.
As part of the deal, he ships first. As of today (7 days after he accepted the trade) he has not marked as shipped. I thought it was funny that he spammed me about the Ernie Banks card on eBay, but still has not marked the trade as shipped.
To facilitate trading, please mark your wants in the "wants" column and "trade for" column in your Org.

Just about the exact same line happened to me as well.
