OK, I have a new one to add and I am really pissed off about it as the figure I was supposed to get was Shondras Red Carpet Alyson which I paid $70 for to [glow=red,2,300] Fred[/glow] also known as Patricia Hancock who has been bullshitting me for over 2 months now. I have given her enough time and it is now up, so I am warning you guys. If the figure ever turns up I will remove this post, but until then avoid her like the friggin plague. Update. Its finally arrived but I will not remove the post as FRED said she had posted it a month before the original post (6/12/06) yet the date on the parcel is 12/12/06. So happy I got it but pissed off because of the BS that went with it.

Fred hasn't replied to me in months. We're working on a trade and I even had to make a custom for her. However the last I heard from her was in November. I just sent her a pm a short while ago, but still nothing. It's not that I mind the wait, but it's the fact that she hasn't responded and most of the items I was getting I don't want anymore. Plus a part of me feels that Fred and Willow are the same user. Just a guess, but it could be possible

Willow's name is c. webb, so they must be different people. BTW, i still haven't got my item from willow and it's been almost 6 months. Stupid cow.

1. (11/30/06) I'm assuming that he's legit and above board and it (as he says) was lost in the mail, but the transaction was nevertheless not successful (from my standpoint) so I decided to post it. I had a, to date, one-sided trade w/ Dave the Vampire Slayer. I sent him two figures and the figures he sent me in return did not arrive. Its been long enough that I assume they are staying lost. I am posting this mostly for posterity, in that I am not myself heart-broken by the gone-southness of the transaction, but should it become serialized folks should have some knowledge of it. Were this ebay, I would post neutral not negative feedback, but I did want to post feedback.
2. (2/15/07) Selflesschild posted about 6 months ago desperately looking for a Drusilla. We were in the middle of a transaction that was holding on the payment but he NEEDED Dru for a custom to take to a con, so I ended up shipping everything (as we'd had one successful transaction at that point). He was supposed to get me something at the con in trade (Chosen Xander or Julie Landau's auto or something) but did not. The auto was more than my original asking price for Dru, so he wanted to pay me instead. That was fine w/ me. And from that point on he has twice said he sent payment followed by later pms saying he would send payment, followed by him asking if he could pay in installments, followed by complete and utter disregard of pms for the last two months. So thats it. I cannot recommend selflesschild as he stole $52 worth of figures from me. (more as a joke than an ad hominem attack, but could a mod change his name to "Selfishchild"?) Negative feedback will be retracted should the $52 (or payments thereof follow.)

I'm going to update the first post of this thread to have a master list of bad traders. I'm also going to finally take care of some people who do not deserve to be on this forum
Also, Im going to add that I frequently see the user "Willow" on the forum, however she is invisible so no other users can see her.

I feel crappy adding this name to the thread, but it's been 7 months and I still haven't recieved what he promised.
Angelus - Way back in March he promised to make some heads for me (from molds), so I sent him 3 or 4 heads for him to make the cast from. Then in about June I got the heads back, but none of the heads that he was supposed to make for me. He kept promising to get them done over the 7 month period but they never were done. I haven't heard from him since June. I suppose it's not a huge deal since I didn't pay for them (he was taking the head molds as payment), but my reasoning is that when you make a promise you keep it.

SELFLESSCHILD oh jeez. Okay so I commissioned a spuffy and a bangel figure in MAY. He even had the audacity to post pictures of the spuffy figure (where they are cuddling on the bed) in the customs thread. I sent payment and stuff for trade. My check was cashed immediately. The communication started off great. Then recently, it faded to one or two word replies. He stated months ago that he sent Spuffy....I asked for a copy of the receipt from shipping. Nothing. a month or two goes by. All i got was a reply stating that he would refund that money when he shipped bangel, which would be very soon. Refund it? Why? i saw pictures already....it was made and supposedly had been shipped months ago, though no proof was ever given.
Now he has not been on the board since sept. 8th. he had stopped answering PMs and hasn't replied to any emails on his email.
I have all his PMs since May stored....there is a lot more crap from him to add, but i am so fed up, im not even going to go into it all.....
final point: PAID< NO CUSTOMS< PICTURES OF CUSTOMS POSTED BUT NONE SHIPPED< HE HAS DISAPPEARED.
arg.....
ETA: he got a hold of me:
ETA (again): STILL no customs or money. Now he won't even respond to emails......such crap.

I feel your pain with Selflesschild. About 2 months ago I agreed to trade a MsBig Cordy custom for his Drusilla custom, and I said I won't ship my item until I recieved mine (because I know he's a slow shipper). He said that was fine. He said 2 times that he was going to ship it out the next day or so, that never happened. Well after over 2 months of waiting I got irritated and called off the trade (I did this 2 days ago), and I haven't heard from him. All in all, he's a slow shipper, you have to send him a ton of PM's to even get a response out of him (he always says he forgets about your transactions), and very impatient when it comes to getting paid. I bought a MsBig Tara off of him awhile ago and I told him I'd pay him within 2 weeks, and he agreed to the transaction and he's sitting there offering her to other buyers so he could get paid faster (I know he was because a friend of mine told me he offered it to them if they could pay more and faster). So I went and took out the money I had saved in my bank for bills and got a money order with it and sent it to him right away to ensure that I actually got the custom before he sold it to someone else. I haven't heard from him since September 3. All in all, not a great person to deal with -Jess

Before I forget, I just wanted to mention that I still haven't recieved my figures from Justice Demon from back in June . The transaction itself went smothly and he was a pleasure to do business with, but the figures never came. Other people at least received some of their stuff, but I got nothing. It's not like I lost a ton of money or anything, but it's still just a shame.

My transaction with Justice Demon didn't go smoothly either (although I did get my items, so I guess I was better off then some - but at a cost!). I bought 4 figures from him (WWW, Prophecy Buffy, OMWF Dawn, Vamp Buffy - $20 with shipping). He took forever to send them out, which was alright cause he let everyone know he was running late, and in my order included a bagged holiday willow to make up for it).
When it finally did get here, I had to pay $50 in customs fees for it! (I would have sent it back right there, but I thought it was something else I was waiting on that I figured I'd get hit at customs with) I couldn't figure out why until I looked at the customs forms. The handwriting was hard to read, but it appeared the value had been put as $100! I PM'd him several time to see if he had put $100 and why, since the figures are DEF NOT worth $100. If he had gotten back to me to clarify he did or did not put $100 I could have fought it, but so much time had passed. I ended up selling the extra bagged figure and OMWF Dawn to make up for it.
Being international I'm ok with paying customs and what not, but not when it's due to another persons carelessness.

I just want to say to everyone, I am very sorry for your problems. The best thing we can all do is get paypal. I just recently, close to two weeks ago, paid for an item from a member on here. The commication before the item was paid for was good, and then after that it's been kinda slow. There is still plenty of time for me to get my item so I am not worried. But I say to everyone, first have paypal. Using a credit card is the best thing you can do. First of all if paypal doesn't get your money back, your CC company can. You just have to fill out some papers. Second, don't wait longer than 30 days for your item. It should never take that long to get to you from the time you pay for it. It's rediculous if it does unless it is special circumstances.
I don't want to come off as rude, but we as buyers and sellers have to do what's in our best interests.
Make sure you save every Private message or email that has been sent between you and the seller/buyer. Keep every transaction receipt, or every shipping receipt. Do what you have to to make sure that the transaction is as smooth as possible.
I can only hope that everyone's issues work out. If not, I am sorry for you, but I hope the next time things go smoothly. If you trust someone enough again for there to be a next time.

After some thought I've decided to add vampyr to the list here.
He is a new member here, and he hasn't made any successful transactions here. He asks for people to hold things for him, but then shortly after decides he doesn't want it because he can't afford it, or he wants something else. He also commissioned a customizer here and when it was finished couldn't afford it.
I'm just asking people here to exercise caution when working with him. He's only 12 years old, and has more enthusiasm than money.

thecharmedone : he said he wanted to sell his figure collection. I sent a pm. We discuss about price, shipping. All was ok. Then he made me wait several days and reply that his "friend" sold some of the figures he putted on hold for me. Naturally I replied that it wasn't fair to do that, when we say "ok" to someone then we don't sell to soemone else, even if it's a "friend" who sold them. And he replied saying he didn't want to sell me the figures 'cos I'm rude ... . He's not a trusting people.

Well I feel it's time to do add this name to the list.
ladygrey - Last August I sent her $200 for a MsBig custom. The last time I heard from her was September 1. She said she'd be getting it sent out very soon. Well that never happened. I tried PMing her and emailing her after that, but no answer. I trusted her so I didn't open up a Paypal dispute, since we had traded/sold to one another in the past. That turned out to be a big mistake. She hasn't logged onto the forum since September 5, and hasn't responded to any of my emails since. Well today I was thinking about how fed up I am with it. I'd be a little better at dealing with it if she had at least emailed me back a few times to explain her situation, but just being outright ignored is what makes me upset the most. I really wish she'd step up and get this taken care of.

Unfortunately I have to report Chaos.
On August 8th 2008 I paid Sean to customize a "Stolen Earth" Rose. Along with the money I posted loose figures for him to use for the custom.
Over the last 11 months the Sean constantly promised to complete the custom and on May 1st 2009 he emailed me pictures of the finished custom promising to mail it. Since then its been over 2 more months and no sign of the figure and no response from Sean to all the emails I've sent.

Wanted to post an update: Sean's custom arrived few days ago after I managed to contact one of his relatives via the paypal email address.
