Newbie problem

[Nawaytes]

think before doing something,
how can you trust that person.
I think is very difficult to find that people, if you just know him from this forum

Hey guys,

I traded with a guy recently here. What I did was, I sent him my product, and he said he will pay me in bitcoins when he receives my product.

He has not been replying my messages after getting my product. What should I do?
I don't want to start accusing him or anything before getting some advice from this community.
Any suggestions?

I hope he is not a newbie account whom you traded with?

There are probably 15 replies saying that you got scammed. There is a sticky on the marketplace subforum saying that you should use escrow. There is another sticky somewhere else (IDR where) that says if you are dealing with a newbie you are likely either scamming or getting scammed). Long story short, you should never send first when you are dealing with someone who is not a trusted member of the forum.

Yeah, as a newbie myself, I will have to send the money first and get my bitcoins later if I wanna trade with someone.

you should not send first when you are trading with anyone . try to talk with him and check if he is interested he will surely send you the money first . Most important thing is escrow ! use it will save your money and also buyer money and also improve your reputation in market as safe transaction .

you are a victim of scammer, before you sent the product, you must take the money first
there is nothing you can do, you lossed your product
it's difficult to track the scammer ...

It is really sad that so many people fail to read the stickies on these forums even though many of them (in big capital letters) say that they are very important. It has been posed several times over the years (and in many stickies) of the importance of escrow and the prevalence of scams here.

I think you should have insisted in payment before sending the goods.Sometimes it is the responsibility of the sender to cover return costs if the receipient does not pay up so you would probably end up paying to have the goods returned in any case.There are a lot of underhanded and dishounourable people out there.
