This is the thing that I'm afraid of most around here. When buying on rapebay you get some protection (one can dispute on the quality of this protection but nontheless it's there). I didn't make any deals here on the tank yet because this type of situation could cost me a pretty penny with global shipping involved... I think the mods here could create some sort of channel for gathering claims on cheating members and if a tanker keeps being repeatedly mentioned in these claims then he should be banned from this site

seen your an international buyer or traders i don't see why not to deal with you.. as long you cover the shipping i would sell to you.. but it would be hard to trade. and remember that ebay/paypal is not scam free.. so is not 100% safe either. i know a guy who got rocks and sand bags instead of a dvd cam.. lost $900 on that deal and paypal could not help him.

It's always frustrating when these things happens, but that's why we need to police ourselves and call attention to those that come in and do these kinds of things. I kick myself for not following my instincts, but if this member gets put onto the DO NOT BUY FROM/TRADE WITH list, then it should prevent it from happening again to others.
There is a feedback thread for Ashreaper, which has four very recent positive feedbacks; I sent a trade out to him on January 26th, and the thread was started February 5th. He did send me a message saying he shipped my items on February 3rd, which should have gotten here by now but has not as of this morning. He also has positive feedback on eBay. I'm hesitant to go ahead and claim a full-blown negative feedback for this trade, but I've sent a couple of PM's last week and have not received a reply. Hopefully this gets resolved before he loses all credibility. Last time something like this happened the guys wife had to sort it all out, which is a real shame.

Hope the guy does the right thing and takes the offer .. Though why sell something to someone or trade something to someone.. then someone else offers a different trade or better price... it's like selling someone a car, handing them the keys.. then telling them someone else offered two dollars more, give them back the keys to said car for the other guy's two bucks..

That happens on here too! Ebay isn't as bad as the complainers on here say. I've been buying/selling since '07 and got screwed once on Ebay, were I didn't get my money back. The other times I didn't recieve items, I got all my money returned.
Put him on the don't trade list, if you think it was shady...I was going to trade w/ a guy on here, I had the items all packed and then he ended up trading them to someone else that gave him something better and told me he didn't get my last e-mail! Stuff happens, whatever. Not like you sold a Toy to a guy in Isreal and spent $45 shipping and the guy cancels his credit card transaction so Ebay takes the $45 + $40 he paid for the item out of your account never to be seen again.

i use to be a evilbay seller. not anymore.. is good if you wanna buy something you really can get locally or with some minimal help from others. the fees and the constant -feedback caution is not worth it. i had my bad buyers but also my bad sellers.. got scamed twice and had a heck of trouble for it on paypal. since then is no more selling there for me.
here in the tank we have many regs who know who is a potential problem and who is a good trade partner. if it was for some of the regs i could had made that sale with (ASHREAPER) i am not saying the guy has no credibility, but many shady aspects of him where not good at disproving either.. no pics of the items.. too many excuses and past posts where you can see a degree of contradictions. evilbay feedbacks? so what.. that is not from a seller point of view.. is from been a buyer which is not trader credit either. if someone wanna trade with me and has no feedback here i will wait for him/her to start 1st and earn the rep by letting me get the "item" before i send my part of the deal. is all fair if you ask me.

I have had mostly succesful trades here...though I have had a few burns too. I may have missed out ona few trades cause i won;t send first but after burns from other places from seemingly good members who ahd lotsa feedback I just adopted a never send first policy with trades. Most seem to understand but there are those who don't.

We agreed to terms of a trade at the beginning of the month. Since he had NO feedback at the time, I awaited his shipment and pm with tracking info which, coincidentally, never came. A few days passed, I noticed some feedback popping up for him so I hit him up to see if we were still on. He said we were and that he had already shipped. Great! Except for what comes next. When I asked for the custom's # (he's located in Montreal) his excuse for not being able to provide it was that his girl's cat peed on the paper and they had to throw it away. Really dawg? Best you could come up with? Did your dog eat your homework too? Anyway, right then and there my suspicions were confirmed and I knew, for certain, something was amiss. I then made up my mind not to ship until I received his items. As you all might guess...I'm still waiting. It's pretty safe to assume, at this juncture, that package will never arrive. I'm just glad I trusted my gut and held off shipping to him otherwise I'd be out my stuff as well, only adding insult to injury. Someone recently posted on the bad sellers/traders thread in the feedback section about AshReaper, but did not specifically mention his Tank handle. I guess he's doing this bs on other sites as well. Echoing Minstrel...not sure I want to take it there yet, but I thought the masses should know about these shenanigans. Bottom line...if AshReaper ever reaches out to you...proceed with EXTREME caution.

@ lips...Not sure...but this is the guy's post pulled from the "bad sellers/traders" thread. As for AshReaper's "real" name, Joey Kardash, is the name he gave me so I guess stay away from anyone on other boards going by that name.

This is probably the FIRST time I have ever posted on here, but I need to let everyone know that there is a guy from Quebec who goes by the name Joey Kardash aka Joey MacKay. He has gone on to numerous facebook GI Joe sites and made trades and taken money for action figures that he has never delivered. If anyone from Quebec (6655 39th ave ) offers to trade or says he has a figure he will sell you, ask for his end up front. I am personally out a MOC Airtight, 2 TRU Spirits and an SDCC Sgt Slaughter. Others have been taken for $200 + dollars. I can be reached at [email protected] if you have questions. Just put "Joey MacKay question" in the subject line!
