Troy, I moved your threadjacking to a new thread, in the CAG Trading forum, where such issues go. Don't threadjack something in the Game Auctions forum, when it's not an auction that you're talking about. As you were so vague your OP (which is now the OP for this thread), no one had a
ing clue that this was a CAG trade that was in question. So, I remove this junk from Stink_Pickle's thread and tossed it in here, with an appropriate title.
First off, I've been sent a PM from allout1986 about this, and from what he's paraphrased for me, you agreed to the terms of the deal and you're backing out of it because you're complaining on price. I've asked for him to forward me all relavent PM's that he has, so I can look them over and see what discussed. If you'd like to do the same, feel free to send them along to me, unedited.
Secondly, as I've seen such a detail-oriented behavior with
every single thread you've posted in the Game Auctions forum , I thought you'd have the shipping and handling charges calculated to six decimal places and have the exact total in hand, which you'd agree to when you though it was reasonable to you. If you agree to a price, you get the items, and then you decide it's too expensive, you're beyond the point of no-return. Since you both had zero feedback, you both should have shipped at the same time, you sending money and him sending items. Since you normally deal in Paypal, and you flashed your Ebay feedback around, I'm sure you had allout1986 agree to ship first.
Third, if you think the handling charge is too excessive, or the shipping charge is too excessive, then you
work those items out before items or money get sent. If there's an issue with the condition of the items, or they're not all the items in question, then that's one reason to complain. If they're what was described, in the condition they were described in, and you're complaining because the cost is too much, then you're beyond the point of no return there. If you agreeded to it, send the money you agreed to send.
Fourth, a negative feedback isn't appropriate for this situation. You had the items sent to you, AFAIK, they're in the condition they were described in, and allout1986 shipped first, then you have no right to drop a negative. Negative feedback is only used for completely blown trades, such as scams (no items send for money received), damaged in shipment items without any replacement, completely misrepresented items, or things like that. At worst, a neutral would be appropriate, only if things remain less than 100% resolved between the two of you. He shipped first, the items were as described (AFAIK), and you have them? That sounds like a positive to me, since you did agree to the terms of the deal. If you don't want to leave feedback over it, that is your option, though it hurts you as well as allout1986, since neither one of you would get your first feedback.
Finally, if you have issues with trades, the correct thing to do is to PM a mod (myself preferred, though any mod can interject themselves into this type of situation) and let them know what's going on, like allout1986 did. Public villifactions are frowned upon, though they have their places, such as for all-out scams like we've had with some CAGs in the past, not for a little whining issue with price,
that you already agreed to pay. Certainly threadjacking another CAG's thread isn't appropriate in any case.
If you have any questions about this, feel free to PM. My advice is to go work it out with allout1986, and in any case, unless I see differently, you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you agreed to a price, have the items, and are complaining about it after the fact, that's really bad form. Just my $0.02.
