Don't apologise, they are for the most part cheap chiselling scum. Who unfortunately seem to be able to operate with almost impunity, police, paypal and banks just do not seem in the least bit interested

Trouble is the actions of a few makes people very wary of all the honest traders that do operate on this site.

Remember to use ur i-trader, it makes u feel safer knowing other people have dealt with that seller.

Likewise, use it for leaving neg. feedback to warn others.

Im not a fan of bank transfers, as much as I hate paypal, i use it and stomach the costs, purely for the reason of making my customers feel safer to trade with us.

In my opinion, (for what its worth), there shud be a system whereby if u have left genuine negative feedback, the person who has received it cannot leave the same out of spite. Not sure how they wud get round it mind!.....but it wud prevent people not leaving negative feedback after being scammed, for fear of receiving it back from the guilty party.

Now I have serious issues with i-trader, I want to leave some very nice feedback about a couple of people I have purchased from, but because I cannot find the original thread am unable to do so.

Most of the negotiations were by pm or phone, so it was about 3 weeks after the thread started.
