Is there an admin I can speak with about a trade I just made with a fellow user? I have some serious issues with what I received. Thanks!

While there's generally not much we can do about a transaction, you can send me a message with as much detail as possible.

Leave negative feedback. It baffles me that everyone is afraid to use the one method we have to warn people about a member
That… and public shaming
It shows the count in classifieds. Positive (green #) / neutral (gray #) / negative (red #)
Or just clicking on usernames…
Yes, I have spoken with the person, buthave not come to a resolution on this yet. I will be posting feedback if resolution is not accomplished today.
To get Idea go to your account page click 'About' then see and click on feedback score (to right)will see what's available to check with buyers and sellers
In your case you have zero feedback also not popular
I feel stalked. Heh. And just to clarify, I have no involvement with this trade. Just used as an example.
I have received no response from the other party yet. I resolved the situation locally myself and took the loss that I was inevitably going to take because I absolutely must have a five string for my gigs. To say that I'm highly pissed off is an understatement and the feedback will absolutely be left. Too many details were swept under the rug for me to let this go, and I honestly feel that I got majorly screwed over which has never happened in any transaction that I've done through this forum.
Damage that was not indicated in any of the photographs nor mentioned prior to the trade taking place, the Bass played like absolute garbage with terrible fretwork. For a Bass that starts off at $6000 before options it's not what I was expecting to receive.

How long ago did you message the other person?
It's been just over a day since you posted this message. You said you resolved it locally and took a loss. I hope you didn't do something rash and not be able to fix it if the other person does reply.
Earlier you said you have spoken to the other person
And you also stated you have not received any response from that person.
Sorry this happened to you.
Who is this member? I may only have 44 feedback but I've been here 23 years and it should like 200. Sale count doesn't matter but those who are new as well as those who are old should know.
One more question. Did you bother to check the seller's feedback and activity?
I never do business with anyone who doesn't have some history and positive feedback.
In many cases people join just to use the classifieds which I don't agree with but I'm just a member. If a member isn't invested in the discussions and interacting with fellow members, and is only here to buy, sell and trade, they shouldn't be here. JMHO

Response received. Not sure what to make of it all. Either way, it's done. I'm not going to blast the person's name but just make sure you all get very detailed descriptions and pictures taken the day of the trade before it ships out to you. I'd hate to see this happen to anyone else. Either way, lesson learned - I'll never do another trade without getting my hands on the bass first.
Responses like this leave everyone else vulnerable to learning another "hard lesson" from the same member. It does absolutely nothing to safeguard fellow members.
I guess you can just leave the member negative feedback.
