some advice and questions

[shadowheart]

I was working on a trade with someone here, someone with approx 60 refs (or soo they claim) this started a little over a month back.

We agreed on a trade, and we would both simulsend, he claimed to have 60+ refs, and evidently I didn't check on them as I can't find them now. I sent out my cards, a regular envelope with an overstuffed toploader in it. The post office sorting machine ate the toploader. I have a ton of paperwork from the post office including the letter that was mailed back to me from them in a plastic bag in case anyone doubts me.

Then when it comes time for me to recieve his side of the deal a week or two goes by, then he claims the address on the package was smeared, and the post office braught it back to the return adress (if one was smeared wouldn't the odds be high of both being smeared?)

Anyway having not learned my lesson I work out another trade with him, and send of my cards, now its been about 3 weeks, and I have had other trades go both ways since I sent mine out and he is claiming to have not recieved them, and I have nothing from him. How long should I wait? And with him waiting to send mine out till he recieves from me and claiming to have not recieved from me, what can I do? If I leave him a negative can't he just leave me a negative then I lose two sets of cards and get my first negative (that doesn't seem right?)

Now a month later I have finally recieved my sleeves, interesting sidenote though. The day after I posted this is when he claimed he recieved my cards. I don't feel comfortable leaving him a positive or a negative for this trade, btw his name on here is TheDevil

You don't have to leave a + or - but I think in a situation like that it's good to leave atleast feedback about the trade so other users that might trade with him know there could be an issue.
