I was hesitant to post this but I need to get it off my chest and I hope to get some feedback on here. I did a trade with a member on here during the summer and that individual had an issue with me from the start. The user felt insulted by the trade offer and countered with a snarky message and I accepted the deal. The cards get sent. I receive the cards that the user sent me and I went ahead and leave positive feedback. This user gets the cards I sent and instead of contacting me, the user makes the transaction a problem and says one of the cards (a junk era common) is damaged and only worthy of the trash can. I was surprised to read that and I apologized and offered to send a few cards as a replacement. I move the trade to as unfinished. I don’t get a response back for a month from this user and when I did it was another snarky message asking me when I was sending the cards. My first thought was well you didn’t tell me what you wanted. I was frustrated with this person and I finally wrote back and I said no longer have your address and I need that. I also thought you would tell me what you wanted as a replacement. I then told the user to get a better attitude and if this is the way you act, I am amazed you have a 100 percent feedback score. I then get back another snarky message saying I have a good attitude and moves the transaction to completed. Meanwhile I leave it as unfinished. I never got the answer back that I asked and this trade is in limbo. The user recently moved this transaction back to a problem. 
 

I want nothing to do with this user. No more communication or anything. I thought I had blocked the user yet they still show up in transaction matching. This person is the one bad apple that has spoiled what I looked at as a fun hobby and helping other collectors out with their collection. 
 

To sum it up. I want this transaction gone and deleted and this user and I to have no contact anymore.

If you have the transaction marked as "Problem", I think it will drop off your listings in 90 days (with no other updates to the transaction).

Go into your profile, Edit Profile, and click the Blocked Accounts tab. You add the user to both "Messages" and "Transaction" tabs. This will not allow the member to send you PMs or initiate transactions with you. Caveat: The member MAY still be able to message you through the open Transaction.

Geez, that does sound like a bad experience. There's no reason for someone to get snarky over offers, as it's just as easy to either decline an offer with a "I was looking for a little bit more" message or make a reasonable counteroffer (whether it includes some or none of the cards from before). 

Vrooomed covered everything I think, but I will say that if you get a note about a Transaction Message from that transaction, feel free to not click on the transaction to read it since you are not interested in doing so. I would also try to rack up some positive trade experiences to hopefully put this sour one in the rearview mirror quickly.

I have another term for snarky....someone sat on a pitchfork. I've not encountered a snarky pitchfork sitter yet. I'm sorry you discovered one. I think your offer of sending some make-up cards is quite sufficient. If we had more matches, I'd trade with ya. And I do not own a pitchfork ;)

Give it time, I've been trying to put together a trade offer for you.  I'll see how snarky I can get ;)
