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

Listing a name by itself is not really helpful. If you're going to call someone a bad trader, give specific and factual reasons why.
 
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?
 
[quote name='Mr Unoriginal']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?[/quote]

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).
 
[quote name='Mr Unoriginal']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.[/quote]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?

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.

I have already used the list to cancel a trade. You also have the option to ask for a cancellation (that is up to the trader though).

As a seller if you are paired up with someone, that this post has in essence flagged, you can put yourself back in the queue. You might have to wait a little bit longer to ship out your game, but at least you won't have to worry about dealing with the hassle of a scammer. If your receiving the game as thebob101 said

Heh. I could triple the length of that list just with my own experiences, but I don't know that it's necessary. Goozex has always taken care of my in all of the situations mentioned in this thread. I don't really care if a user ships a game or not, as long as I get my points back and I'm put back in the same place in line.

I agree that goozex has a pretty good policy regarding refunding points, but unreliable users slow down the trading system. I know that I'll be checking this thread in order to avoid dealing with crummy goozex users.

Valkyrie Profile

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

The name of the first person you have listed should actually be "aaronsedge". The guy pulled the same thing with me. He was supposed to send me Saint's Row 2, but a week after agreeing to ship, he cancels the trade with the excuse, "I can't get it out in time". What a jackass.

Same thing with me, what a jackass. If you can't send the game, don't accept the trade, simple as that. I will change the name in the OP, thanks for the correction.
 
ChillyWilly85 - Sent an empty BlockBuster case which was supposed to contain COD4. He didn't even take the blockbuster rental artwork out of the case.

[quote name='Antic']Glad you took the idea and ran with it. I obviously couldn't do it. Too much damn school work.[/quote]

Not a problem, thanks for thinking of it. It has already helped me with a couple of trades I rejected.
 
Anyone I am new to goozex and was wondering how to send out a game. Like how do I package it. Just like a regular package. Do I pay all of the expenses.
 
Sigh, time for lesson 1:
Dont come here and thread crap this isnt "I need help on Goozex cause I cant use the internet/search function"

There is a help section on Goozex let me point you to it->http://www.goozex.com/trading/asp/about_howitworks.asp

There are also threads in Goozex's forums that will answer your questions.

Now back to discussing bad traders, who knows you might make the list.
 
HAHAHA Well first off. THANK YOU fuckING ASSHOLE FOR TREATING ME LIKE A TOTAL DICK. SECOND I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE A TOTAL FAT ASS $$$$$$ WHO SITS AND READS COMMIC BOOKS ACCORDING TO YOUR LITTLE PICTURE. THIRDLY, DONT TAKE IT OUT ON ME THAT YOU WERE SHY AND ISOLATED AND HAD NO SOCIAL LIFE AS A KID. FOURTHLY SUCK MY BALLS.:bouncy:
 
I just happened to notice this thread today. I am actually SpankyD on goozex. I thought I would try and clear my name. I sent the game in mint condition and in a lovely bubble envelope. Also, I believe I responded to any communications sent. So it was either lost in the mail or Mighty is the scammer. I'm assuming it was lost or stolen in transit and I blame the post office. That is all.

I deserve a fair trial by a jury of my peers.

Do you have a Delivery Confirmation # for the package? That would offer some kind of proof that you sent the package.

Oh great I got matched with some guy for CoD4 on PC where someone said it took 2 weeks to get their package and another guy had a comment about how it was slow.

Damn, Im not looking forward to waiting >.>

Didn't know that u were a CAG JUDO. Makes me glad I got matched up with you.

Maybe you could cancel the trade for COD4 and see if you get matched up with a different user (depends on how fast the next person requests the game). Normally, I am primarily concerned with the comments relating to condition for most users I get matched up with, although shipping makes a difference as well.
