After over 800 trades with 0 issues, I finally stumbled upon a bad trader.  I will admit I should have known better than to send my end right away with someone with only 12 feedback.  Here are the trade details.

1/28 I proposed the trade, other member agreed

1/29 I send my end.  I wait until March to send 2 messages, hear nothing back.

4/1 I mark the trade as a problem.  Guess who messages me that day with a sad story about things going on.  He stated my end will be mailed ASAP along with some extras.

4/27 Nothing has shown up.  I send another message explaining I will leave negative feedback on May 1 if I hear nothing back.  Other member has not been on the site since 4/5, so I was not expecting a response.

Sorry to hear of your situation. I'm really surprised that you not only proposed a trade but received a response from this user, as he hadn't traded since last summer (and only once in 2023). It is too bad that, even after 12 good trades in the past, the lull seems to have made trading either difficult (if one believes the story) or a chance to get free cards (if one doesn't).

Agree 100%.  He was somewhat active in January, so I thought I would give it a shot.  I am not out of much, maybe $10-15 of cards.  

Thanks for posting including the name of the member. Many are afraid to call them out; as a community we have to do this if we are to protect each other and weed out the bad ones.

I have a similar situation (have had over 800 trades with no issues) although the user proposed the trade to me and I accepted. The timeline...

3/20: User (mrmalakacards) proposed a trade and I accepted.

3/21: I shipped out his cards.

4/19: I sent a message inquiring if he received the cards and if he was planning on sending out my cards soon. 

4/26: No reply to my message. I marked the trade as Unfinished.

User has not logged in since 4/12.  Going to wait a little while longer to leave feedback in case something is amiss on his end.

Consider yourself lucky. My first few trades all started out with problems, although I wouldn’t consider it the other member’s fault probably the PO. Fortunately they all reached out and resolved the problem. 
 

Right now I have a trade sitting since February that I have not received yet, I don’t even bother anymore, going to just let it sit there in limbo. It’s just a bunch of base cards anyway.

I have well over 500 trades and stepped away a couple months ago. 2 trades were left open and unfulfilled. Just last week I have stepped back in and am in the process of completing those trades. Life DOES happen. and priorities change. You have been VERY patient and understanding. It just gets to a point where you have cut your losses. 

I finally received my end today out of the blue.  The other trader even sent back the trade sheet I sent his cards in and signed.  He did send 3 extra cards, 1 of which I needed.  Since the trade was completed as agreed upon, I changed the feedback from negative to neutral, but made it clear to proceed with caution.
