In the case of ROSCOCHICKEN who has been a member of SR for 8 months and a Vendor for 1 month, I try to give new vendor's at least a shot.
I hate posting negative info about a good communicating vendor prior to a sale and then an extremely poor communicating vendor after a sale but when the product does not arrive after overnight shipping for 3 days I have to alert the community. The following is what I posted on his feedback today after getting only one responce about resending an order he never sent out in the first place. If he supplies a valid tracking number here or there within the next 24 hrs I will consider selective retraction. This is only the second vendor I have had a problem with in over 60 transactions. His current buyers and future buyers should confirm all information provided by him prior to payment.
Posted Feedback with a chance at redemption:
Oredered item with overnight shipping on 4-6-12
Vendor pm'ed package in mail and supplied track number by tormail and requested finalization.
Should have arrived afternoon of 4-9-12. No arrival.
Tracking number bogus.
No responce to pm's. Then sent pm that he would resend.
Still would not provide valid track number which was paid for and requested numerous times. No arrival of overnight package again today. Informed him to send product or refund. Again no responce.If package arrives tomorrow I will edit rating back to 5/5. I'm trying to give this guy a shot at redemption. If no arrival will be forced to conclude that this x-buyer but new vendor is up to no good. All current and future buyers should take note and be alert.
If no arrival tomorrow then his rating goes to 1 and I suggest you avoid this guy. I am posting this same info on the forums. If he redeems himself I will also post that and a product review.
Be aware folks, Bikerbum
Edit: I just looked at his 5 or 6 feedbacks and did not find mine among them. My purchase was labeled " Custom for Gloria" which I ordered for my girlfriend. So I don't know how he pulled that off but I suspect it may be some type of selective scamming. Maybe the current moderator on duty could enlighten me on how this is possible. Regardless be wary of this vendor. I would venture to say that there will be more to come.

Maybe you let us know what's stated on your tracking status. Sometime there's heavy delivery and is dispatched the following day. Unless it's mentioned 'delivered' but you received nothing better call up the post.

I also had an odd experience with Roscochicken. I sent him address info and he messaged back saying it was being shipped. Then 8 hours later he messages me again saying that he spilled coke on the labels and needed me to resend.
I resent the address via tormail. I didn't pay for overnight so I'm expecting it probably today to friday. I'll let you know what happens for me.

As of today April 11th, this asshat "roscochicken" has read my mail but has no balls to respond, on SR or here.
Thanks for your reply. What was stated when I finally checked was that there was no record in the system. I believe the SCAMMER figured I wouldn't check the track untill the item didn't show overnight and he was right. He stated that he sent the item on Friday April 6th. Gloria and I were out of town Friday after work for the Easter weekend and I was confident due to the tracking number that it would be waiting for us on Monday the 9th. Upon our return no package, that's when I checked the track and got no record. Hence no more communication from him since other than a short sentence that he would resend if it didn't show the following day. So I asked again for a valid track and again no communication since. He can't resend an item that he never sent in the first place. By all means he can come on here and post the results he gets from that number and if it shows it got delivered, I'll stand corrected. That's never going to happen. If I was the vendor and had proof, I would be all over this shit. But what's really starting to piss me off more is that my negative feedback for him is not on his feedback list except for his rating that did go down from 100 % to 61 % and 2 requests yesterday and today for SR to post it have not been answered. I want any potential buyer that checks his profile see my feedback as a warning. What good is the feedback system if it doesn't post, which this is the first time this has happened to me in over 50 transactions. I still don't know how he pulled that off.I have only posted negative feedback on 2 vendors, including this one in all of my transactions. So my percentage on not getting burned has been pretty damn good. I figure if I get good communication and prompt shipment, regardless of the expected quality, the vendor deserves a favorable feedback. and I'll still give any new vendor a shot regardless of this situation. And all this idiot needs to do is come on here and defend himself. Fat Chance.

Good luck man, I hope he does you right. Obviously I'm skeptical. And do post an update whichever way it goes for ya. I'll slip you a karma for good luck.
Alot of vendors will not ship overnight for various reasons and you have to sweat it out. That's their perogative, no problem. But when you recieve very good presale communication and a tracking number, you become like me, complacent and you don't worry about it until overnight doesn't show. But regardless, if this goes bad for you, there are many fine and reputable vendors on this site. I know I'm always taking a chance when I give a new vendor a shot at this lucrative marketplace so I don't sweat it if I lose, but SR should consider some type of a temporary vendor account freeze if they determine a valid charge of scamming has happened when there is supposedly proof of shipment. Their escrow and resolution system is top notch and members should stay within escrow on non proof of delivery sales.. But we all know that is not always the case and that there are special circumstances that should also be addressed with an account freeze. If these scammers knew there was even a slight possiblity for their account to be frozen even temporarily, you would see a lot less scamming going on. And if the vendor satisfies the proof then the member's account should be temporarily frozen and you would see a lot less of accusations. And again I'm only speaking about sale's that have some type of valid delivery conformation or tracking number attached to avoid the he said, she said bullshit.
Again Good Luck in your case.

Thanks for posting. I have a feeling that alot of these scammers (AgentMulder, etc) are the same people over and over .

Roscochicken is obviously a crook. My package still hasn't arrived either. Why is his account still active? Aren't these forums monitored? Hasn't anyone contacted support?

u see the color of his hands? typical!

I sent a message to SR everyday this week. He finally responded that his delay in responding was due to illness.And that he demoted "ROSCOCHICKEN" and was very sorry this happened.DEMOTED............................this cocksucker should have been banned and his account frozen last Monday. I think SR needs to have a backup person deal with these situations in the event of illness or death. Well, anyway the 11 customers he had are SOL (shit out of luck). I figure he got away with a grand to fifteen hundred before us members could stop him. Members can only do so much. The real power is in SR's hands and if he's sick we obviously have to wait. Doesn't matter, Roscoasshole could very well be back under a new account tomorrow. If SR gave me the power I would weed these guys out post haste.Any indication or report of skullduggery would freeze the account until it got sorted out.That won't happen so be vigilant folks.

Wow, that was the quickest running the new scamming vendor out of town.
Far as I can tell they pulled his vendor status?

Yeah man, I for one stayed on top of this asswipe since Monday. Once I wrote my loss off it was nothing but fun for me to keep his sorry ass on top of the forum post's and I kept bombarding his ass with pm's just poking at him. He wouldn't open his mail, so I would just write my harrasment messages in the subject line. As soon as he got on his messages he would see 5 to 20 subject lines of bullshit. I even told him he had a half a brain because he started too early with his scam. I f he had of built up his reps he could have cleaned up on next week's sale. His main fuck up came when he accepted overnight shipping from me. If he had of declined that I would still be waiting with the other customers and in the meantime he would be collecting more unsuspecting customers. So it was worth my money to see him go out with only 11 transactions. What's that a couple of grand less expenses for opening his vendor account. As far as I can see it wasn't worth it for him. Anyhow he's gone and good riddance until possibly showing up again under a new account. I'll be waiting for him.
Be vigilant community,
