I have been thinking about it, and it seems like this whole trading thing is run on the honor system. Maybe I'm just jaded, but it seems to me that the honor system doesn't work very well online. I mean, it seems like anyone could just go into a thread and say 'Yeah I have the shirt you want, let's trade" and never even have the supposed tee in-hand. Then they could just sit back and let the shirts roll in.
Has anyone here ever sent an item in a trade and not received the shirt they were supposed to get?
Freaks me out, man.

Can't believe they wanted Just Under the Skin. I thought I'd never be able to trade that shirt.
Totally understand where you're coming from though. Internet culture is generally all sorts of shady lately.
Having a positive trade on here did make me feel a little warmer and fuzzier inside. I kind of wanted to send her a thank you card just for being an honest person.
I like to believe that most people are inherently good.
That said, I would be much more reluctant to trade digital cameras or video game consoles or iPhones or something like that with random people in a forum online.
I understand your plight but thus far, the TeeFury community seems to be full of stand-up people who love t-shirts. Just make sure their member date matches up with what shirt they are offering. If they've been a member since Feb 2011 yet mysteriously have shirts from before those of the last grab bag, they're most likely attempting to scam you.
Sorry it's taking so long! I'm going to ship out tomorrow cause I've been busy :D
And like django5135 said, there's really no point in scamming someone out of 10 dollars...most of us seem to be pretty friendly!
there was one where i never recieved the shirt (there a huge winter storm atm) but, the guy offered to reinburse me for it. in the end i didnt even ask him to send me the $ since i thought it was a standup thing to do to offer with me asking. call it good karma or whatever but im about receive the shirt i had wanted and never got in a new trade this week.
I've traded with: LemonPyxie, Yost, Houseof8art, and Manolo. All 4 went down without any problems. Doing another trade this week.
I think for the most part, the "type" of people who shop and browses on this site, aren't the type of people who are shady mcsketchersons.
No, thank you. I first visited this site on the day of "Now That's a Hammer, Bro" in anticipation of the Who's and a look around the gallery made me kick myself for not being on here for "Count the Shadows." Now thanks to you, I have made up my mind to have no regrets.
Again, you're awesome.
