Trust means nothing on this forum.
People do a few small trades and build trust and reputation and than scam the shit out of everyone.
Problem is, It was not a few trades, He has been dealing in 1000's of $$$ for quite a while, And doing respectively well, I'm still guessing something has gone hideously wrong, he is sorting his stuff out and coming back with a plan, Or rather I hope so!
As a member with a good trust rating, I always sell stuff saying, "please use an escrow
Unless you feel you can trust me" I do think the "trust" system has a loop hole, But everything does, I look at the trust and see who left it, If it's someone I have dealt with before, I know I stand a better chance I will get my goods.
I do hope this gets sorted out, Good luck to everyone involved.
