I am not sure why but lately I seem to be having some issues with trades in progress I have 3 trades and 2 traders that suddenly stopped communicating and the cards I( traded for have not arrived. My question is has anyone else noticed an uptick in bad traders/bad traders?

Check their feedback. That'll be a tell-tale sign. I'm assuming it's been over a couple of weeks and that it's domestic mail with no tracking, and that you've attempted to contact them to no avail.
If they're a regular miscreant based on feedback, then it'd behoove you to post their ID.
(Edited to correct spelling of "miscreant" previously misspelled as "miscriant".

On one the neg feed back was old on the other it just started appering. Both have dropped out of communication. I usually avoid leaving bad feedback but at this point I will an I will also name names (so to speak) so you all are warned against trading or at least against trading without receiving their half first.
jddavis84 - 2 trades in progress with no cards and now no longer replying...honest traders BEWARE
Shawn's Doubles - 1 trade months old no communication and no cards.

Two notorious bad traders. Shawn at least was trying to make some amends in the past but without much success. I'm afraid to say that your cards are probably goners.
It's never fun to leave negative feedback or to call someone out, but in communities like this, it's the right thing to do in my opinion.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

Although I've successfully traded with both, their feedback just screams "no"! It looks like Shawn is up to his old tricks, creating another profile. Sadly, I believe those cards are long gone as well.

Sorry about your bad trading experience. There are really only 3 active traders on this site that I wouldn't trade, and those 2 happen to be on the list. Everyone else has just been great. Don't let a couple of bad ones deter you from this great site.

Not that I defend Shawn's previous actions (because I don't, and was very vocal - in writing - to him privately and publicly about making amends), however, I will defend him in this regard - the Shawn's Doubles ID was created a while back and he was very public about creating it and why. It was by no means a method of deceiving others.
He has been known to have issues about where he is living, and having access to funds to ship as well as having access to his actual collection.
As for the other, I'm really surprised anyone would even take the chance with him given the recent feedback (and we're talking months' worth).
I really wish we lived in a society where we didn't have to worry about such things. Sad.

Sorry to say but the first name, I think is #1 on everyone's A-hole list.

I'm not sure if I am very selective or lucky but I haven't had one bad trade experience here in 75 transactions so I consider myself lucky and feel for you jmkidd. I think you have waited long enough with no progress to warrant negative feedback.
