Would rather trade the swords as 5 or part of a larger trade. Also don't see much on your trade list. Sorry.

^ weird people.

Good read though.

The whole idea about being in a situation where you are unable to respond, an action that takes no more than a couple of minutes, just seems outlandish to me. Breaking down the situation, as long as he is able to receive internet connection for a couple of moments, he'll be able to respond. In today's day and age, I highly doubt anyone is unable to obtain internet access with respect to the idea that smartphones, libraries, coffee shops, home connections and various other places offer unbelievable coverage.

Second, his last online date also strikes me as odd that he wasn't able to respond after being online, canceling trades and editing profile. Without the  last online date, this case might be able to be passed off as a simple unable to log on; however, with that information, this has striking resemblance to many similar likewise cases.

Finally, traders that lie and send their packages late (a sign of lack of trust with the simul-send agreement), negative feedback is definitely not enough. Timeliness is as important as card condition in the sense that cards in mail or not yet sent is the equivalent of a lack of those said cards. This means that the person on the other end of the tardy user's trade is unfairly burdened with loss of time that ultimately may translate to loss of value.

Check when they were last online. This site generally lacks a protocol to delete inactive users. You can view last online time by hovering over their little human icon beside their usernames.

I highly doubt ichorclaw had no bad intentions. An honest mistake occurs once and the user will attempt to rectify said mistakes. ichorclaw made no attempts to truly fix his mistakes; his whole Paypal/SCG refund had proven to be bogus. (No user has received the refund.)

Though he may have personal issues, this is still not reason enough to lie about sending, especially a month's delay. If I was trading, I would want to know what the deal is at all times, regardless of personal issues.

To be honest, ichorclaw on any other trading forum would be banned at this point and users would be told to file for mail fraud. Deckbox is still relatively new and isn't as strict on security (a huge flaw in their system) so ichorclaw will probably get away with this without consequence; however, I hope that the deckbox team see this as an opportunity to step up their rulings, security and safety for their users.

Did he confirm addresses? If so, you should contact mods/deckbox team as this is a clear violation of the rules. Confirmation of address indicates that both user's are obligated to follow through and as such, he should receive some form of punishment for failure to comply with the rules.

In my opinion, if the sender refuses to compensate for the full value of the lost cards, he should send the received cards back. The idea behind this is that because no agreement was reached in compensation, the sender is still responsible for the delivery of the cards. (Fault, blame and wrongdoing is not being stated, just that the sender has the responsibility of delivering the cards.) Therefore, even with the case of lost mail, the sender has agreed to such risks by not purchasing insurance and/or trading online so that the other party is still due the $30 worth of cards regardless of circumstance.

While I do agree with what you are saying, I really think that the attitude here is wrong. The issue/case here could become a problem in a lot of trades and because this site's rules/guidelines are slightly vague, this case could essentially set a precedent. Therefore, I think this discussion on the solutions to such a situation is better than blowing this off as a nickel-and-dime thing, especially since it still is $30.

That being said. +1 to HikingStick's responses.

^ Basically this. Splitting the costs is far too an abuse-able system.

I have to disagree with the others on this one. Maybe it's because I'm from MTGS but I tend to follow the policy that it is the sender's responsibility to make sure their package gets to the destination therefore I would still put it on the other trader to send equal value, the cards back or wait longer for the lost cards. It does sound douchey but it's a policy that seems pretty fair.
