Am I lucky for avoiding a scammer or are some people just douchebags?

This has happened a few times recently (with diff new people obviously) so wondering if its more than people just being jerks. Let me state that I am patient and I do not require two day shipping or anything. Real life can get in the way and I dont expect nor do I promise immediate next day shipping. Some people have issue's and may require a few days or can only ship on weekends. . understandable.

However, when you agree to a trade and exchange addresses it is a done deal, an agreement has been made. I as many people have made a rule if a person has less than so many trades they ship first. Trust is earned and this is why I have this policy.

Paul woods is the latest new member to make a deal with me, make me wait a week and then cancel the trade without any communication. With zero feedback I asked he ship first and after a week I asked if he had a chance to ship (no threats, just curious) . He cancels the trade the next day without explanation.

The trade wasnt very big but it was equal at the time and people asked about some of the cards I had in trade to him and I had turned them down. Its irritating to know I had other deals that were missed because of his behavior and without any sort of communication I am left wondering if he is just trying to steal cards. I did not lose cards but regardless does this not deserve negative feedback? If he didnt want the trade then why the hell did he agree in the first place?

I would like to say that the majority of this community is great and have had great trades overall. Just irritated with these losers who may be showing up to spoil it up for the rest of us.
