Fact: Most of his completed transaction appears to be started by him. So!!! he has control on how many offers he sends out at a time and dealing with at one time. Issue with that thinking is he could have countered then it shows he is member 1 and started it.
Fact: When looking at completed tractions the date is when completed and only the 2 traders know when it started. So the one showing completed 5/8/2024 could have been started months ago.
My two cent worth on two thing brought up here.
1. Would be nice if there was a Red flag next to members names. This red flag would not stop them from trading but just a note that this member is a higher risk when trading. Yes!!! I know there is feedback you can check but we all know a lot of us do not check it until it is too late.
2. Members that have more the one ID or live at the same address. It would be nice if their profile showed all their IDs and a (flag noting it next to their name). This is not really a red flag but just helps members know the persons better. Like the fathers and sons and members using them for collecting reasons and the ones that are not that honest about it. Yes!!! again this can be in your profile.
3. Something not asked about but since I'm thinking about it. How about some by our names showing if we are logged in to the site. So I can see if a member is on site at this time.
I know I'm asking a lot and after looking at all the things to do. Admin has a lot on his plate but that is for another posting.

I am going to attempt to share facts and keep my opinion to a minimum, and I will make my opinion part known. Feel like we're getting a little off-topic here, but Bruno, that's not quite right.
Fact: I just went to your profile. I can leave feedback at any time - positive, negative, or neutral. No transaction required at all. In fact, I have had people leave feedback for me when no transaction was created at all, and I have probably done the same for them.
Perhaps there is something dictated within the transaction review board that requires them to evaluate the stage(s) of a transaction should a feedback be disputed, and that is what you are referring to. As I am not part of that group, I cannot speak to that. But as far as the site is concerned, feedback is not tied to specific transactions.
Opinion, with a basis in fact: Shawn, claiming one person leaving feedback was the cause of a lack of trades is simply not true, nor is it fair. It is an attempt at dodging responsibility. I am aware of the individual you speak of. I do not agree with his feedback left when there is no transaction to tie it to, and I agree that it was not right of him to do so. But claiming that he is the sole reason that you did not receive trade proposals or that ones you sent were declined is also not fair. Your inability to complete your existing transactions in a timely manner, or at all, is to blame for that, and this is something that I will stand by. There are several other feedbacks on your profiles that indicate unsatisfied trade partners.
Opinion: I said in an earlier post that plenty of us have faith in your efforts (I include myself - I have seen the stretches where you are able to complete several trades and your feedbacks throughout those time periods reflect that). Starting a new profile every time one gets overwhelmed is not the right way to go about it. Members have offered assistance. Admin and many trading partners have offered multiple chances. I think things are getting to the point where patience is wearing thin, however. No one wants to "force you away from the site" or the hobby. They simply want to see you act in a responsible and appropriate manner when it comes to transacting. I, for one, do not think that's too much to ask of anyone who transacts on TCDB. You have been given multiple suggestions, tips, and offers to assist in order to make this happen. Whether or not you take advantage of all resources available is up to you.
Fact: The issue here is that Shawn and/or his partner created another account. They did this with no mention or reference to their other accounts, which shared the feedback left by many members - some good, some bad. This is a continual habit, where poor feedback is accumulated, a new account is created, unsuspecting members are offered (or make) trades, and after a while, the user has a hard time making good on them. The offer to complete all outstanding trades on other accounts is made every time this has come up. I do not know if this has come to fruition or not, but based on the fact that those accounts all seem to have been abandoned (voluntarily or involuntarily), I suspect that it has not.
Fact: This thread was started in an attempt to warn members of a possible problem trader that many know the history of. This is not unusual. It was not intended to be a bashing of anyone, nor should it be one. I hoped to stem that with my earlier post in the thread. Perhaps now I can do so, though I may have also added onto it. If I have, I offer my apologies.

I thought Negative Feedback could only be left after a transaction was at least in the Accepted stage? I guess different rules for different members. No surprise.

i might be slow as hell on getting stuff out at times but at least i've NEVER EVER used a fire or a kid to get free cards and you do realize that 1 person kept leaving negative feedback on ALL the accounts but nobody said anything to that said person nobody stopped him from doing it and because of that almost to no one would trade with me because of said person ALWAYS leaving negative feedback on my account
