So, we have been given the go ahead for our Goozex Bad Trader Master List. Please post bad traders in this thread and I will keep a master list in this post for everyone to use.

Examples of bad traders include, but are not limited to:

1. Very poor packaging for shipment- wrapped in regular paper and tape.
2. Sending damaged games- game discs, broken cases, mangled manuals, etc.
3. Bogus reports to Goozex- game was slit open and replaced with bootleg copy, did not receive game, unplayable disc claims, etc.
4. Never receiving the game

What will this list do? If we get matched up with a 'bad user' are we just supposed to request to cancel the trade and cross our fingers?

It can be useful if your game is matched with a bad trader. I had an experience where I sent a factory sealed game and the trader that received the game told Goozex that the game was sealed, but the disc was replaced with a bootleg copy of Resident Evil 1 for the ps1. It was a bogus claim and if I had information before the trade, I could of not accepted it.

There are cases where the list could be used to ask for a cancellation of a trade because the trader is known for taking a long time sending games or doesn't send games at all or sends damaged games.

I created this thread because there were some folks in the eBay Blocked Bidders thread that thought this might be helpful.

Ok, no offense to you, just curious since Goozex is much more automatic in it's matching process, I didn't see much use in the list. Maybe someone will find it useful.

Okay, added reasons for bad trades. Thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it.

Oh, no offense taken. As I said, it was discussed in the other thread and me and another CAG thought it could be useful. Totally not trying to slam anyone or hurt anyone's reputation on this site or Goozex. I have seen tabs on Goozex for blocked users, but I don't think they are functional yet. I definitely think it is something they need. I forget sometimes who I have had bad experiences with and that information could be useful if I am matched with them in a trade (as the person who is sending the game mostly).

at least you could be aware of those you should be watching out for. even if the system is automated, you can still contact goozex and refuse the trade. why do cags have a list for bad sellers and bidders? same goes for bad traders on our trading forums. i know they're not automated like goozex.. but its for the same purpose.

Would that work? I could contact Goozex after being matched for a trade and ask them to cancel the trade because I heard through the grapevine on a message board that the user could possibly send me a game in bad condition?

im sure they are working on changing the automated pairing system. because obviously theres always a risk of getting a games from douchebags. im certain that you can just point them to this thread and they'll put 2 and 2 together and make the right decision to your favor. if they cant help you, then we should trade our games elsewhere

Thanks bob, for creating the thread. It's been stickied.

Money Mike - listed a game that was missing the cover, case, and second disc as "Full Package" to boost their spot in the queue; response to dispute was "lol sorry about that"

It is nice to have a place to talk about these things and to actually be able to post user names. I havent had any bad trades yet but I will be sure to list them here when I do.

I sent a couple of 100 point disc-only games on goozex wrapped in their paper mailer template. does that make me a bad trader? It is one of the recommended ways according to goozex.

I think that what you need to take away for this is that the goozex model doesn't really work. They spent too long giving away 100 points to everyone who signed up that they ended up with a lot of scammers. I got out a few months ago, and recommend that everyone else do the same.

Wow, didn't expect there would be this many scammers around here:(

Silentbob - No game sent, no response to PM
Dunkkd - No game sent, no response to PM
jaymo357mm - No game sent, no response to PM

I have had a few scammers too but 99.99% of Goozexers have been incredible. I will add to the list if I come across any not-so-wonderful traders though.
