Is there somewhere on this forum to flag a bad trader?
I have one phone outstanding from 2 weeks ago and another that is not looking too promising atm either.
Before I post their names I am giving them until the weekend to post the phones or return my money.

Sounds like a good idea - I'm not sure if that 'good trading' thread is also for posting bad experiences as well.
I could be posting here soon - I'm waiting for a phone off someone from here also that I've paid for a week ago and heard nothing since that day - but it could be due to the British mail system, so I'm not worrying quite just yet!

I wouldnt like flags. Esato is an info-forum in first line, not a bazaar. its everybodies responsibility to trust in somebody never seen before. To give a name free isnt the best idea, cos u never know what really happened. If he is guilty, he ll change name here and return. Otherwise its private affair, sorry for my opinion if it disappoint u, same way to your lost, but it was your decision, u should handle it. Dont like black lists.

Hmmm . . . @bobafett is quite right here! Better send the 'erring' person a private message here first, we may really not know what transpired during the shipment/transporting of your goods mate  maybe it's not 100% his fault . . . |

You think I have just been sat around for 2 weeks waiting for the phone without sending him a few private messages in the mean time?
I even had a reply once.

The person I'm having trouble with hasn't put any details in their profile, so the only way I have to contact him is via the PM system.
I strongly suspect that both me and mike are talking about the same person here......

I guess this is a good time to get opinions on whether to add an unfortunate untrusted section to my trusted sellers list or whether to start that as a new thread or not bother at all.
Boba is right, people will just come back under a different name.

I see 2 options: we all are ready to take the risk to get pissed off or laffen close the fone-bazaar.

There is only so much you can do to avoid being ripped.
A thread would be some kind of help i guess on bad traders if the mods approve.
Firstly if the person is new and no feedback from anyone , then it's a big gamble but saying that i've heard people with great feedback just out of the blue start to rip people , not from this forum but another.
If your only saving 10% of the price new then pay the extra and get fom a shop and usually if the deal is too good to be true then it usually is....
I usually try and stick to people close and try to deal face to face.
But s*it happens!! That's life!!
