Have you ever been cheated on a trade?

[RiceBunny]

I'm defending her because your main post gave too many loopholes for her to escape from.

I'm actually offended that you would accuse me of being a scammer. So much for helping you with Deirdre.

1: There are no loppholes, if you say someone is almost original and assure them of it then the villager should be exactly as you described.
2: I didn't accuse you of being a scammer. I simply asked you a question.
3: You gave me a free villager, not an organ. You want her back?! I'll gladly give her back to you. Last thing I want is someone throwing it in my face that they gave me something.

1. Your original post didn't state that she only had her town for two weeks.
2. You called her a scammer, and then you started wondering if I was her.
3. I thought it was enough proof that if I give you something for free, I'm probably not going to have scammed you.

Hey

Yeah yeah we all make mistakes maybe playing devil's advocate is not a cool thing to do all the time and even giving people the benefit of doubt shouldn't be put in front of empathizing with people who feel hurt and cheated.
RiceBunny, I'm sorry that happened to you, I'll try and find a sloppy bed, couch and table for you so you can restore his house.

Not really, only one time someone only gave me like half of the bells because they said they didn't have anymore, but they were still buying stuff on their thread for tons of bells.

And actually, I have been cheated before that too! I did a trade with someone over tumble because I wanted a tweeter and they wanted my spare throwing beans... I dropped mine first in a gesture of faith, they dropped a tweeter, saved before I picked if up, and switched off the WiFi. They then changed their URL ;n;

Thank you ^.^ but I don't need it. I already have all his stuff, it just takes effort and lots of patience now. And thank you for seeing my side and not telling me it's my fault I got scammed. I appreciate it. <3

I believed her after she said the town only existed for 2 weeks. Any point before that and I had the right to doubt. I empathize with her, but it's not okay ask if I was a scammer.

ACC mods are terrible. They'll give you a crapload of warnings/infractions for not doing anything wrong. I remember I befriended this girl on ACC once, she stole a bunch of my perfect fruit/hybrids. (I was trying to reason wi her, then a random guy came into my town. She DC'd shortly after that.)

That sounds terrible. And I never log into ACC anymore. I wonder if there's a way to delete an account.
I remember I got a warning/infraction just for bumping up my own thread which I thought was pretty strange.

You aren't allowed to say 'Bump' when you bump posts. You have to say 'Still Selling' or 'Still buying' or something along the lines of that. ACC mods make rules, but to be honest, they only enforce the ones that don't matter.

I never said "Hey Lafiel, are you a scammer?!" I sarcastically asked if you were her since you were making every excuse in the book for her. You're a well known cycler, of course you're not a ****ing scammer. Her only having the villager for 2 weeks shouldn't matter. Every other point I made pointed to her being a liar. For the last time, a villager doesn't go down to 0% original unless you want it to or have had the villager in your town for years and is well aware of the fact that the villager is selling all of their stuf in Re-Tail.
I'm sorry that you felt like she didn't lie, because she said "should be almost original", but with all due respect it didn't happen to you. So no, I don't appreciate you coming in and insinuating that she didn't lie when in fact she did. I'm not here to argue, and we're spamming the thread. I just don't appreciate people telling me I'm overreacting or that I said something that I didn't say. I'm sorry you felt insulted or felt like you were being attacked, it wasn't my intention. Have a nice day.

To be honest, I've never really trusted a site other than TBT. Maybe I would trade on tumblr, but I would ask the seller if I could check the villager, or what I was getting before I give my part. I would understand that the seller might not trust the buyer, but if the trade is going on in their own town I would imagine that they could flip the switch if they wanted to. If they won't let me check or get the item before I buy it, then I don't think it's really worth it. I'm glad they have things like Wifi Ratings on TBT, because if I do a giveaway or sell a villager, I can check to see what happened with the person previous to the sale/giveaway. I really trust The Bell Tree Forums ^-^

 

[honeyaura]

Not cheated, but still felt horrible when she left. She gave Bells for my Bones, which was okay. Guess it the fact that she ignored evergthing I said, even told her to "follew me " then just uses her map to run past me and straight to him.

It's kinda irrelevant to this thread, but was a pretty bad experience in a trade.

(Or maybe it was because she was taking Bones lol idk...)

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

I have never been cheated or have thought of doing that to anyone because people can do what they want behind a screen and not get in trouble and the person who is paying you bells for a item that they really want can actually get really upset and cry if someone scams them. It could be a little kid, and people who scam and cheat for fun is no friend of mine. And yes, I have cried when people scam me or flick the wifi switch after I catch beetles on the island or when people run over my flowers and steal items behind my back.

Not yet, but I haven't done very many trades.
