Did a large trade with a user, ShowStorm, back in Jan and never received my cards. I sent my side with tracking and it was received. He was fine up until this year then he has gotten 10+ negative feedback from others he has stiffed. On his profile dated in April he said he would be working on finishing up trades. I have sent him several messages through the trade and directly and gotten no response. He continues to login to the site.
Is there anything TCDB can do to help with this situation before I pursue charges through the post master?

There have been a couple of threads about this member (started in December and March) but other than Admin possibly banning him I don't think the site can really do anything.

You’re being too kind. It’s not even in the neighborhood of 10, there’s over 30 people that he has stolen from. How he is allowed to stay as a trading member after being proven to steal from so many is beyond me.

I'm in the same boat. I see that he logs in every day also. The bottom of his profile page says pretty much "everything will work out". I hope so.

On top of ripping people off, seen him post countless photos rather than scans to the site. He’s abusing his privilege of being able to submit images AND stealing cards from people by not fulfilling his end of trades. Something should be done…

My eBay store.- Be sure to check it out! FOR SALE/TRADE: View my profile for details! If there's a certain player you want, ask me about them, I'll probably have a card of their's that I'm willing to trade but haven't marked on my FS/T list. For more specific info, visit profile or message me. |

How does that work?

CardFlipper1974, it sounds logical enough to pursue charges but I doubt the total value would garner attention for a federal prosecution. I looked into it and the primary issue that deterred me from going any further would be proving the intent to fraud. That and the peripheral attention it would require of me, including time and finances and it simply wasn't worth it.
A better option to address this member problem (involving a small, but significant number of members) was presented to Admin and he deemed it reasonable enough to place it on the New Features List back in October 2022. It currently sits at #11. It's a hands-on, restorative plan - most people can be redeemed - but it requires participation in the process by the membership; complaining is not a resolution and seeking federal charges will be costly and my belief, fruitless.
