hermster Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 I wouldnt know his info to begin with since he never responded back to me, maybe you could get someone who actually dealt with him get his name but I wouldnt go as far as posting his address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason for that being that if his account were cancelled he's free to come back with a new user name and repeat the same pattern of behaviour all over again whereas if his name and location are known people would know to avoid this guy.

I tried contacting him a few times about it with no response and I know he read itbecause it was marked read. Told him I'm nominating him to the naughty list, still no response. I mean it was a $10 dollar sale. Come on, really? But deal with him at your own risk, if he doesn't want to pay $10 what makes you think he would pay $1000. Smh You can tell by his post on pg 1 that: a) he doesn't care b) he has no intention of honouring his word; and c) he'll likely repeat said behaviour JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His account is not cancelled. Being on the probation list does not result in banning. thehumantorch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that he doesn't honor his commitments, he ignores messages from the seller asking him to complete the transaction and warning him of a PL nomination, and now he conveniently doesn't remember anything about the transaction. And yes, the amount is small but that goes both ways, for just $10 he can clear this up but he can't be bothered. hermster and pemart1966 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 So the "Probation Rules thread doesn't really specify what restrictions come along with being on the list (perhaps it's somewhere else). Is it just a "Buyer Beware and Devil take the hindmost" thing where Probies can post and it's up to any buyer/seller to educate themselves? Or do/should Mods be going in and locking threads from Probies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a buyer or seller is on the Probation or Hall of Shame list, it is ok to make 1 post only to alert the community. Being on said list does not mean a seller is restricted from listing books for sale or a buyer is restricted from purchasing but, we understand the need to make people aware of the situation.

They need to work it out with whoever nominated them so I would assume first thing Coxstrong should do is reach out to hermster and see how he can make it right if he wished to come off the list.
