Help in dealing with a possible deadbeat trader

[JammingJay]

Hi gang,

Any input or help in this matter would be most appreciated. I have a possible situation where I've cross traded with a member of AA forums and I have not received my merchandise in 3 weeks. I have PMed the trader several times and still have not received a response back.

With that said, the trader did have a solid heatware account, and a established AA tech ID. For the time being I am giving him the benefit of the doubt, whether he mailed it late, had extenuating circumstances, or simply did not have the time to respond since most of us are busy during the week anyways.

My questions are:

1) Has enough time passed to warrant notifying AAs moderators of the situation so at least I can get him on the deadbeat list?
2) I have my receipts from the post office proving I have mailed my merchandise, is there anything else I should get together for proof?

It is somewhat disappointing to deal with this situation considering the items we traded were under $50 of value. Granted, I'm thankful it wasn't a more expensive part, but nevertheless its disappointing how people's promise/word is taken so lightly these days.

Thanks for your time in reading this, and any input is most appreciated.

1) Have you followed the trading advice found in the rules/advice sticky in FS/FT?
2) Contacted a trollhunter?

I dont know what the aa forums are. but wouldnt it be a better idea to post this question over there.

FYI - it's "AT" (Anand Tech), not "AA" 😉 😛

PM a Trollhunter (like Roger or TonyH or blade) for assistance. Regardless, 3 weeks is an incredibly long time to be waiting for an item. Regardless of excuses, this person should NOT be selling/trading anything if they cannot commit to the process 100%, except for extreme circumstances.
