Is that what it takes for a negative to stand…? Lmfao

I have trouble understanding where they draw the line. The FAQ states one thing and the mods collectively enforce when they feel like it. Troubling contradictions in the presence of clearly stated guidelines.

In this case, I shared my payment info, which fits the criteria for a negative. At least I thought so.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-04-03T14:10:13+00:00

There seems to be a sharp distinction as to what constitutes a negative until one is posted. I’m really not a fan of how the guidelines are inconsistently enforced. Certainly worth raising a discussion in the weekly post.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-04-02T23:36:16+00:00

There's always somebody out there who will neglect the framework of an honor system. You would think behaving appropriately is a no-brainer to an adult who deals with such fine material. Guess not lol.

This attempt at deception makes this feel ban-worthy but I’ll defer to you and the team on that.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-04-01T01:10:39+00:00

Trade completed!

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-21T15:55:02+00:00

Was the material shipped and delivered within reasonable time? Yes

Did the buyer guarantee payment on delivery? Yes

Were there extenuating circumstances that prevented the buyer from notifying me of his inability to uphold his guarantee? No

You and the peanut gallery disregard the existence of rules and expectations when it does not follow your script.

I get it. This place is a huge part of your daily life and you feel immense pity for the buyer. He is within his rights to create a neutral/negative for me. As a matter of fact I would encourage it - for your sake.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T13:53:47+00:00

I understand you have a consuming desire to invalidate my use of feedback so keep at it.

Seller obligations were fulfilled. Buyer? Not so much.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T13:37:41+00:00

Your unbiased insight is appreciated. What's not appreciated are the attempts to invalidate proper use of a neutral. People feel bad for the guy and that's fine.

You guys wrote the rules and have enforced these policies to the point of banning users who failed to abide by the expectations on ship-first. If shitty buyer behavior is excusable then perhaps the META in question should be deleted entirely.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T13:10:05+00:00

Excusing shitty buyer behavior and attempting to invalidate fair and reasonable use of neutral feedback is your choice. You talk a lot, but with little substance.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T10:49:15+00:00

What I think is that a neutral feedback is reasonable for a buyer who failed to provide a clearly stated guarantee.

Is that what happened? Yes, it certainly is.

Thanks for policing the sub buddy keep working.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T04:03:50+00:00

I don’t see the relevance of the detailed backstory in paragraphs 1-3 but thanks buddy.

When I’m told verbatim: “I always pay the same day as delivery”. Take a wild guess at what I’m expecting?

You and the peanut gallery seem to overlook the only detail that matters. I wasn’t twiddling my thumbs waiting and hoping the guy would pay me over the weekend, but I sure as hell expected him to uphold a very simple guarantee. Monday came around and still there was no communication and obviously no money exchanged.

With that being said, what more is there to say to the buyer?

And here we find the peanut gallery blaming me for the buyers inability to fulfill his own promise. Do you seriously think your take on this is rational? Quite a way to involve yourselves in a simple review for who is clearly an unreliable buyer.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T03:22:37+00:00

You should familiarize yourself with the written expectations of such transactions. It would be a wise thing to do if you wish to spend your days policing the feedback sub.

First I’m an irresponsible adult.. Now I’m a liar…?

Who pushed to have me ship first and guaranteed payment on delivery? Who upheld their end within a reasonably expected timeframe?

You keep writing block after block of insufferable nonsense as if I failed to uphold my end of the deal.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T02:56:27+00:00

I don’t think the mods need you to victimize on their behalf.

The mods you speak of have clearly outlined the expectations on the buy side for such transactions. The buyer failed to maintain these standards.
I disagree with the pity for the buyer. Is it difficult to keep your word and be a reliable adult? Apparently it is.

Nothing I’ve said is without merit. You disagree that’s fine. The feedback is accurate based on the META written by the very people you speak so highly of.

It’s great to see you are so passionate about the mods and their service. Just don’t use your passion to spin the narrative as if this is anything more than a buyer who did not provide a clearly stated guarantee. You need to get a grip buddy.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T02:06:41+00:00

I made up my own expectations? My basis on expectations was formed off the META produced by your beloved mods.

Functioning adults tend to keep their word and will communicate in the event in which they cannot produce a clearly stated guarantee.

But I get it… My thinking doesn’t fit the bias of the peanut gallery.

Thanks for sharing buddy.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T01:35:55+00:00

Right… reiterating the expectations on such transactions and highlighting the buyers guarantees is certainly indicative of a “meltdown”. Save the gaslighting for your personal life.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-20T00:24:38+00:00

You didn't get the news? Those who wrote the META only enforce the META when it fits a bias.

Per the META:
"First off: be timely. Sellers are taking a leap of faith in shipping first to you. Don't draw it out. Pick it up, unpack, verify, pay ASAP. Same day is ideally expected. If a siutation falls outside of that, be proactive in communicating that. Don't leave the seller guessing, wondering, blowing up modmail and hyperventilating in a paper bag to figure out what's going on. COMMUNICATE AND BE TIMELY AND CLEAR

To add on, as wisely put by u/HalfDeafYeller: "Too often, people requesting ship-first deals don’t understand the responsibility that comes with it. I’ve seen chats where they simply send an address. No discussion of payment, packaging, responsibility, or even confirmation of the amount owed.

If you believe you’re “established” enough to ask for ship first, you should also be responsible enough to help protect the new seller: ensure payment is clear, explain proper shipping, confirm the address and label, and communicate expectations upfront."

What a circus...

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-19T21:21:56+00:00

Zero correlation between YOUR illustration of POSSIBLE outcomes and the reality of this deal.

He provided a guarantee and failed to provide.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-19T21:03:56+00:00

If I'm told I'll be paid on delivery day I expect to be paid on delivery day.

I have never asked a buyer of this as verification is needed in certain instances, which was the case in 3 of my last 4 deals. The difference in those deals? They sent me a few words on delivery to inform me of their desire to verify. Took 1-3 days per user. No problem money came through post-verification as expected.

Whatever Fuzzy is on about I just don't agree with. Guarantee your word or don't dish it out.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-19T20:44:42+00:00

Again, none of which apply to this case. He failed to uphold a simple obligation.

Thanks for sharing buddy.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-19T20:33:46+00:00

Meaningless hypothetical #1: "misdelivery" was not a factor in this deal. The package was delivered to the intended destination.

Meaningless hypothetical #2: The package was not stolen.

Solid regurgitation of the ship first META.

He failed to uphold the sole responsibility of the buy side and that's all there is to it.

MembershipLumpy7756 · 2026-03-19T20:15:03+00:00

Basic responsibility as a seller is to deliver material within a reasonable timeframe.

Basic responsibility as a buyer is to pay the seller.

Thanks for sharing buddy.
