Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

I brought a troubled transaction to the attention of the Admin. The Admin's advice was:
"The best thing you can do is to go public with this.  Start a thread on the forum and let the rest of the site know what's transpired. Perhaps someone else has some insight as to what's going on with him. "

So, here goes...
I've had some trouble with a trade with member John Henne(Jrhcards). I sent cards with a USPS tracking number and have received nothing in return. He is not responding to my messages. The admin mentioned this happened recently and it turned out the guy was in the hospital. Perhaps someone has some insight as to what might be going on with Jrhcards. If you do, please let me know. 

THE TRADE
03/01/2017: 
Both parties accepted the trade

03/02/2017: 
I sent my cards to Jrhcards with a USPS tracking number

03/06/2017: 
According to the USPS tracking numbmer, cards were delivered to Jrhcards.

as of 04/02/2017: 
- I have not received any cards in return.
- Jrhcards has not responded to any of the messages I have sent. 
- Messages were sent on 3/13, 3/14, 3/23,and 3/26 asking if the cards have been sent or if there was a delay.
- According to Jrhcards profile, he has logged into the website multiple times during the month of March. The last time being 03/26/2017.

My next step would be to leave negative feedback on Jrhcards' page to ensure any future traders are aware.

Thanks,
Jay
 

Only 2 feedbacks so far but both positive with members I have traded with and respect in trading.  Odd he defaults on this one so I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt though, if he logs in regularly, you would think the reminder and the communication would be there.

At this point I feel your frustration and understand what you are contemplating. I would be at the point of doing the same.  Now that you posted this, if a trade ever came up with him, I would ask to receive the cards before shipping out mine.

This is the second one of these in the last 2-3 months; I hope it is not becoming a trend as I love this site for the trades.

I think what you have done seems appropriate. Even going ahead and leaving negative feeback should be fine. Nothing that can't be undone if it turns out there is a reasonable explanation. I'm sure admin could remove negative feedback. The key here is that you don't want this happening to someone else too and without taking the reasonable steps you have mentioned that very well could happen to someone else.

One other thought, when you sent messages were they regular messages or transaction messages? I only ask because when I get regular messages I can read them in my e-mail. I have to actually log in to see the transaction messages. 

Hopefully there is a simple explanation and everything gets worked out soon. I hope it wasn't too big of a trade or anything high value.

I have to say I apologize! I know I accepted that a while back but thought that we talked about how my stuff wasn't updated and I'd need to check both of our needs.  

I dont remember getting anything recently but maybe I just mixed it in with others and put it aside. I will send them out tomorrow with tracking. I'm assuming these are still your needs?

sorry about all this as I haven't been on my computer and only have gotten on here to check checklists and stuff recently. 

p.s. I haven't really been on here much other

I sent both regular messages and transaction messages for that same reason. I'm hoping for a simple explanation, too. 

Jrhcards,

Thanks for your response. Please send me the tracking number when it is available.

The tracking number for the package I sent is in a transaction message dated 3/1/2017. I also last sent you a private message with a link to it on 3/26/2017.  I will gladly send it again, if needed. Let me know.

Again...thank you for responding.

Jay

That is good to see ..... lets all hope it ends on a good note.

Jrhcards,

According to the USPS web site, the tracking number you sent me has been created, but not sent.
Can you clear this up? Thanks,

This asked the same question I had? I have a trade that after countering and accepting I sent my cards they received cards 4 days later marked and 1 week later they have marked completed. They have not sent items and although they are on sight daily and I have attempted communication  NO ReSPONSE! I see that others have traded and entered feedback some that I have traded with. Perhaps someone else is having problems  trade partners Rkiss369  would appreciate any help. Thanks
