Kenny007:

derekjr:

I read it as the custom slip was mentioned after the negative was left.  I assume this was a only few days before the trade was auto closed.  I meant mention it when it first came up when the seller first stated he can't send games to Canada.  DTP can correct me if I am wrong in my timing, though.

No, you're reasoning looks right; I see what you're saying. 

Still, I'm not in favor of putting blame on a buyer for a seller's hesitation and mistakes.

 

The easiest way to have a positive experience on Goozex is good communication.  I can't really say the buyer or the seller really demonstrated that in this situation.

Is the buyer to blame?  No, but they could have done a lot more if they really wanted the game as bad as they imply.  Being a veteran and a former top buyer/seller, I would have figured they would have done that instead of posting in the forums "hey look at this" trying to validate their decision.

I'm too nice of a guy I probably would've canceled just to get movin on the next game. But I think the Buyer is well within his rights to do what he did. eh

Rather than blow this out of proportion, why not be the bigger man and explain to him how to change his region settings to disallow canada as an option.  He says he was new so give him a break.  As for the cancellation, you should have had him cancel so you could get your spot back and then you would lose nothing and he would'nt have had to take a negative feedback, which probably sucks being a new user.  Really the immature one is you in this case.  Well it was until he started calling you a douchetard canuck or whatever it was.

Indeed.  Any potential sympathy was lost once he resorted to name-calling.  Makes me further assume he was just trying to sneak out of a trade by playing the ignorance card rather than having a legitimate concern.

Or it makes me think he is just immature. Name-calling is the last resort of the stupid person. (probably why I do it so much Wink ) He lost sympathy with that, but the fact remains, this whole thing could have been avoided and not paraded in the forums with a simple press of the accept button. Too many of us try to make examples out of people instead of helping them.

Sure dtp could have accepted the cancel and sure he could have had more communication with the seller, however on Goozex the buyer does not need to accept a cancel.  If the seller didnt want to send to Canada he should have never accepted, and even then you still have a little bit of time to cancel without the other users consent.

On the forums so often I see questions about whether people should accept the cancellation request and in all those threads I see this line "you do not have to accept the cancellation request if you dont want to".  Well dtp didnt want to accept the request and since that is acceptable on this site then there is no reason to be bashing him for it.  He had every right to not accept the request and also communication with the other party is Optional not mandatory.

The sellers comments in the dispute are childish and unacceptable, cant wait till the negative sticks so I can make sure not to ever trade with this user.  He can go on the list with the lazy bastard Kenny007 who wont make the time to trade with us damn canucks Pizza

lol....well put.  I simply can't deal with the PO, or I'd love to trade to Canada personally.  I get trades out within the hour now; with Canada I'd have to wait to ship on Fridays.  That would make me a sad seller.

Yeah, I re-opened back up for now since I can ship games on my lunch break for now. Going to have to rethink if I lose that priviledge or find a smaller post office that isn't as packed as the one near me.

Indeed. Every step to get to open up another country for trade has a few manual steps hence there is no way at all that the seller didn't know of this. The buyer was in his right to cancel. I agree that good communication is key but in this case, communication or not, the buyer had the right to decline, especially if the seller admits in having the product on hand. Goozex has to enforce it's own policies. You cannot make exceptions for something this obvious (there seems to be many these days...).

batmania15:

I am with the buyer on this one.  Not only should the Seller have not activated canada but the seller should have looked at the address it had to be shipped to BEFORE he accepted the trade. 

I had several cases that I forget to check the destination before accepting the trade, and seeing Canada later on, said "oops, I now need to go to the post office to send this game" :(

Neither party handled this situation as well as they could have, but I think the law sides with DTP this time around.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't accept the cancellation except out of spite.  In most cases, letting the cancellation hang in limbo isn't going to speed things up.  If the user doesn't want to send the game, they're not going to send the game.

It might make sense, though, to have cancellation requests time out after three days or so.  At that point, send an e-mail to the person who initiated it saying "Cancellation Rejected.  Better send that game out now."  It's better than just letting it sit there ignored until the trade is disputed.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but I think you're both at fault. The user never should've put Canada in his trading region if he had no intent of trading to Canada (unless it truly was an accident), and you should've simply accepted the cancellation. Wouldn't that have been faster to accept the cancellation and get matched again (takes maybe a week), then to wait for either him to mail the game or wait out a dispute (at least a week or 2), Also, both of you should have had better communication (like him calling you a douchetard canuck).

Buyer in a part says to the seller grow up ?  Come  on what more mature That cancel a game ?? People have issues  , giving him a negative  after  he requests  a cancel won't make him send you  the  game  , by  the  way  if sellers request  the cancellation you get your position , tokens and points back  !! It would be more easily for you ,  that making a whole show , im not defending the seller he made it wrong , but he responsable request a cancel because he wasnt  comfortable making a trade without tracking , i  think that if he did it bad you only maked it worse !   you delayed  your chances of getting the game and who knows  if in this time  you disputing a feedback there was a match  that really worked and you only waste it arguing . Good Luck Next Time !!!

mrkekeru:

Don't listen to any of these pansies.

lol!

cheeznrice:

I think the seller needs to chalk this up to a hard lesson learned, though better communication from both parties would have resolved the issue before feedback was left.

Agreed, I'm always an advocate of good communication, however, in this case I let spite get the best of me.  I was more angry at the fact that he was probably trying to get games from Canadians, but not send them.  He has 15+ trades under his belt.  He's not brand new.

Him saying he wasn't "able" to ship to Canada didn't exactly make me want to accept the cancellation.  When people say stupid things like that, it doesn't sit too well with me.  So I figured making him send it or him getting a negative would be a good lesson for him.  Which I have every right to do.

Kenny007:

Damn straight.  I'm slightly appalled that all these veteran and mod users are suggesting to 'Do the nice thing' and accept a cancel on a matter that clearly doesn't warrant such action.  That's just like providing +10 to a user that shipped a week late and only sent the disc on a FP listing just because you liked their avatar.

As far as I know, you can't ACCIDENTALLY add countries to your trading region, so this fool was just trying to weasel out of a trade.   There's no reason he should even consider the cancel, and this user who has refused to ship a game should be docked for it via their feedback and provide a warning to others (especially Canadian users).   The OP is doing a favor to the community at an expense to trading time by taking the time to point out this subpar (and abusive) trader to the rest of the community.  It wasn't too long ago we had a few users post giving out +5s/+10s for transactions that should have truly been neutral and the community went all "what the hell?" on them.  This is no different, and the proper feedback was left.

Stay the course DTP!

Thanks Kenny - I couldn't agree more.

derekjr:

Only DTP knows the sellers cancelation record, though.

It was his first one by the looks of it. Which is good, because hopefully after this, it will be his last.

batmania15:

...the seller ...deserves to receive negative feedback and learn from his mistake otherwise he will most likely do it again.

Agreed.

derekjr:

If I hit accept, though, I will always send it no matter where they are.  It is just the right thing to do.

Exactly... and if for some reason you did ask for a cancel and it wasn't accepted would you still not send the game?  And if you didn't send it because you aren't "able" to send to Canada, would you open up a pointless dispute to waste the buyer and G-Team's time over something you know is going to just result in a negative anyway? Then would you start calling the buyer names?

Kenny007:

Still, I'm not in favor of putting blame on a buyer for a seller's hesitation and mistakes.

Nor am I.  Its nice to see more people feel that way in this thread.

cheeznrice:

Is the buyer to blame?  No, but they could have done a lot more if they really wanted the game as bad as they imply.  Being a veteran and a former top buyer/seller, I would have figured they would have done that instead of posting in the forums "hey look at this" trying to validate their decision.

I apologize for coming off as wanting the game so badly, I didn't intend for it to come across that way.

Also, this wasn't posted to try and validate my decision. Not sure why you would think that.  I already know that my decisions were perfectly fine.  I am in no way at fault in this situation.  Sure, I could have communicated more, but does that make it my fault. No sir.  Anyways, the main reason for the lack of communication was because I forgot about it.

ericengler:

Rather than blow this out of proportion, why not be the bigger man and explain to him how to change his region settings to disallow canada as an option.  He says he was new so give him a break.  As for the cancellation, you should have had him cancel so you could get your spot back and then you would lose nothing and he would'nt have had to take a negative feedback, which probably sucks being a new user.  Really the immature one is you in this case.

He knows how to change it, since he changed it to allow Canada in the first place.

Also, you're reading this wrong. He did cancel and I didn't get negative.

I don't believe I was being immature at all.  In fact, as Kenny was getting at, I taught him that this kind of behaviour isn't tolerated on Goozex and if you do it, you suffer the consequences.  I've been nice plenty of times, but the more you let people get away with things, the more they think its acceptable and it ruins the experience for everyone.

mafafu:

but the fact remains, this whole thing could have been avoided and not paraded in the forums with a simple press of the accept button. Too many of us try to make examples out of people instead of helping them.

Sorry, but you're wrong.  Hitting the accept button is basically hitting "accept" to poor behaviour.  Why would I want to "help" someone who calls people names, wastes people's time, and goes back on their word?  The fact remains, this would have been avoided if he didn't do some or any of the 6 or 7 things I listed earlier.

Renaissance 2K:

If the user doesn't want to send the game, they're not going to send the game.

This is the case sometimes, but sometimes they will send it if they know it will result in a negative, which is what I was hoping for and something I had every right to do within Goozex's policies.

monsterfracas:

Again, it's never a buyers fault for not accepting a cancellation.

Good Luck Next Time !!!

Not sure how its all of the sudden immature to not accept a cancellation?  Go ahead, try and suggest that Goozex add a line in their policy: "The buyer doesn't have to accept a cancellation request, but it's very immature if they don't".  See what response you get to that!

Next time you might want to make sense when posting things!  That was painful to try and read!
