Need Help with a Bad Deal?

First, please read details regarding the following steps below on our Gramma Pat's page on Bad Trader Advice. If there is a procedure listed that you have not followed, please do so.    

1. Contacting the person
2. Post a query
3. Visit your Post office to get Mail fraud form
4. Contact Law enforcement officials

Remember that mail seldom gets "lost" although out-of-the country trades frequently take longer. No matter how angry you may be at the other trader, please be polite and stick to the facts. Tell the other trader what you are going to do...nothing more. It is not necessary to be rude or argue. Frequently just mentioning the words "fraud", "prosecution", "felony", or "international authorities" will bring results.

It seems that a lot of the bad trades have to do with counterfeits. Since it is impossible for the receiver to prove that the beanie claimed to be counterfeit is the same one the sender mailed, (unless someone was there to verify the beanie was counterfeit or take pictures of the identifying counterfeit characteristics), or unless the seller has a history of dealing with counterfeits, there is little we can do.
