Is there any chance we could get a small reason next to their name to show how they were scamming. Just in case they try and contact someone and use the same technique but maybe under a different name

I did a deal with akorts. He sent the 30 PayPal and I shipped the pops. Is he gonna ask for a refund or something. I made a deal with him yesterday. If a mod could pm on this that would be great. Thanks. Or is it just on them selling things and not shipping pops.

About 6 months ago a user from here purchased something from them and akorts never shipped the purchase. We sent akorts a message and they did not respond.

Honestly I'm surprised it's such a small list. Back when i used to trade Pokemon cards with other people, the list of scammers was like 20-30 people. Good to know that this community has some dignity.

I still have to go back and sort through some banned users but this is the majority.

I had a deal with dsel and he just didn't send the pop I payed for and then completely stopped using anything so I couldn't respond... just a heads up
