I setup a trade for yourfreevideoipods with this newb named walterschooner last night.

I wake up this morning and recieve this message

[i5b418d76c5]I looked at the site, I did not feel it was worth the time, and effort. I requested deletion. Thanks for your time.[/i5b418d76c5]

so it looks like he even signed up for the site but decided not to do an offer. I am also positive he went through with some offers for other people. Wonder who brainwashed him.

I just want to know whats wrong with a site that pays out 50 per referral and only requires one easy offer completion?

Maybe it's what you were paying him, more than anything....

well there are better ways to negotiate a price. well anyways I was paying him enough for a site that only requires 1 offer and $50 per referral. Wonder what he got himself into. Hopefully someone made him signup for a primodinero or vbux site so he gets way over his head initially.

I was trading with a guy over at FLR and when I PMd him a couple days after starting our trade (he went first) to ask about the offer completion, he said he couldn't find any offers he was interested in roll

I find it funny. Ive been one of the most helpful to the brand newb to the site. I've provided info to the $500 and $100 DIY sites that i know would take the newb at least a few months to find. I always have them signup for the easy trainn sites first and tell them not to exhaust all their offers at once and to start getting finished with some of the train sites before they move on to harder sites.

Just unbelieavble that this dude may have thought I was trying to take advantage. I just want to know which sites he ended up agreeing to do for others.

maybe he was unable to find an offer in which he had a legitimate interest, and he (properly) pulled out of the trade for that reason.

Of course, you being the lawful, upstanding FiPG citizen that you are e-mailed him and asked him for his Paypal address right? Then when he didn't reply, you asked a staff member and they gave you a more up to date and accurate e-mail to contact him at, you did so, he got back to you and you paid him.

Right?

Because that's what you're supposed to do.

not exactly but I did PM him and ask for his paypal address. As far as Im concerned thats all I have to do. I dont have to email him off site to see if hes still alive or check the local obiuturies. Everyone has their own responsibility to visit this site itself, especially when trade was initiated on this site and all communication done thru this site.

For whatever reason a user dissapears is not my concern nor is it part of any binding trade agreement. I agree to pay if you make your address available. Im not requried to go hunt him down bounty hunter style and deliver him his paypal

If he comes back sometime in the future and expects payment from you then you're obligated to pay him.

Since he's greened for you and (presuming) there's no time limit on your trade then he has a right to his cash.
