Seller: @marelievdmerwe
Buyer: @bachi
Description of Bad Deal: After deal concluded - seller decided to offline auction it
We discussed on WhatsApp and deal concluded once its concluded seller decided close the thread as well
since the user is new I said we can meet personally conclude it on Saturday which is seller convenient time , in the evening i sent a message just confirm again are we good for Saturday
Seller response was : If I don't get a higher offer by then its yours , Buyer : I said it wont work like that if you are committed stick to it and carbonite wont encourage like bidding or auctioning since all the members are matured and respect each other in terms of commitment
Seller Said I am new to the forum , I told it wont be like that if you committed its like done deal.

I thought its may be worth for other members to be safe instead of going through the drama.

If the deal didn't happen - just leave a neutral iTrader.

@Dom if you think its not fair, happy to remove also , i would seek mods suggestion also just for safe side so that the user wont get bad deal badge.
however if you are not committed dont commit at first place, on top of that on forum bidding is not allowed, so thats also another thing.

@mod as per @Dom suggestion if you feel we can move it neutral as well, at least other members may know whats happening with newbie
from there they can decide.

@marelievdmerwe Please give your side of the story

@Kav33r This one is yours

l did try to explain to him that I was talking to multiple people about this thread. Said to the other people as well I'm talking to more than 1 person about the deal everyone understood and was happy. Said sorry, went for the person who offered me what I posted it for, needed the money. I did not steal or cheat anybody. Don't think this is necessary at all.

PS: did not deliberately offline auction it, the person who bought it just replied later that night.

@bachi PM me the WhatsApp conversation and include @marelievdmerwe in the PM as well

1) was there confirmation from both parties that deal is 'concluded' to the point that bachi will be taking it?
2) need confirmation that everyone was told that you would like to get your asking price, until a specific time where you will take closest 'offer'

Simple ruling on this.

@bachi you may post a neutral review
@marelievdmerwe you may do the same.

Both sides are at fault here after reading the whatsapp chat log.

Bad deal closed.
