    did a deal with sgtwesker to trade a bunch of stuff for a psp. i payed shipping both ways. his shipping was $50 and It's hard to get contact with him and apparantly he's really sick. I also bought a battery for the PSP as mine didn't have one and part of the deal was it had a battery. IT was only $5 from dealextreme but turned out it didn't work so he bought one for $30 at walmart.

    He seemed very legit and I would really like to believe him but I don't know, surely he could get somebody to ship for him?

    He even gave me his real house address and his phone number checks out (called him, he got in trouble by his father whom he lives with (though he's married?)).

    i think this is the best area to post because i might have just lost a PSP and $50 :( but then again I fail because I never asked for pictures or anything.

    what do i do if it a scam? I have all the emails and his post is on afterdawn still, not to mention I have the shipping receipts and such to prove I shipped to him.

    buy & sell forum rule
    7) AfterDawn doesn't take any responsibility whether a trade has been successful or not. We wont answer to any requests to determine seller's personal details, etc. Trading takes place between two individuals, AfterDawn simply provides a space for individual user's to post their classified ads, but doesn't act as a broker between the two parties involved.
    if paid by paypal then talk to them.

    Is that a real forum rule or are you just covering your asses? (The reason I think it's not a real rule as it's poorly written)

    I wasn't going to edited by ddp blame Afterdawn or anything, I was just edited by ddp asking if there are any members who have done any unsuccessful deals with him.

    Edited by ddp you.

    why would the mods waste their time banning me? they should focus on the spammers and scammers on this forum. not the users with complaints against errors

    youtube has banned me three times (which is why my account is trav10854) and did I ever give up? No.

    every single time right after being banned I create a new account with another email under a very obvious name.

    If I am banned, expect trav10852 to occur and so on. it's not that I am a spammer or anything, it's just that the mods can't take a little edited by ddp critisism or anything.

    :/

    We're very easy going here but one thing we don't tolerate is anyone coming back over and over, it would be childish, immature, stupid, annoying and downright pointless. So basically it's not an idea to be entertaining....

    I wasn't trying to entertaining and I'm offended that you would think I am.

    Childish, immature, stupid, annoying, and downright pointless is what you're using to describe banning me over and over again, right? It goes both ways my son.

    I can think of 100 better sites to trade with users that are light years more trustworthy than this one.

    @trav1085 if you get banned once its not the end of the world and if you come back they might even except you if your responsible but keep acting like an idiot and they will block your I.P.As for getting ripped off if you know all the users details you might be able to take legal action against them but generally if its only a small loss i wouldnt worry about it these things can happen.

    As I understand it, you think this sgtwesker might have ripped you off.

    Since you didn't take all due precautions, you're now looking to blame Afterdawn? Jeez, take some responsibility for your actions, genius.
