BlvckMamba sent me this offer to barter https://barter.vg/u/4c49/o/3403941/
I accepted it and explained that I bought a video card from AMD and as a gift I was given 2 games Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and Resident Evil 3 but they need to be activated on the official AMD website.
This is not a steam code, but you link your steam account and these games are activated on your account, after which you can untie your account and the games will remain with you forever.
Now on the AMD website after the purchase give other games https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/raise-the-game but I found information where it was mentioned earlier https://www.msi.com/Promotion/amd-2020-raise-the-game and https://ggpc.co.nz/posts/amd-rewards-raise-the-game-2020-with-rx-5500-rx-5600-and-rx-5700-xt/ but you can just check it by writing in Google AMD Rewards Resident Evil 3.
He agreed and after I sent him all the data, he just said that he would not do this, immediately removed me from friends and blocked me on barter.
This trader deliberately knew how this system works and took advantage of it, I would not send him this expensive game first, since he has very few barter offer, but since it was not a steam code but activation via the AMD website, I had to do this and I lost my game!

So this trader didn't leave me a negative review until I left him one... A little odd don't you think? Also my negative review was removed from his page. This trader has had problems in the past with other people who knows how many times? Two show on his page but others could have been removed like mine. I've never had any problems with anyone else for any reason.

The summary of the situation; I didn't feel comfortable with his trading method when I realized I had to link my steam account to their AMD account. He claims I took the game key when I definitely did not. Logically it doesn't make sense that I took it. My entire hang up with the trade was linking my account to theirs and that's the only way to redeem it...

This person saw an opportunity to exploit the system and negatively impact me because they were angry I didn't want to continue with the trade with a suspect method. If I would have known I had to link my steam account to their AMD account there is no way I would have agreed to this persons trade. That would be a terrible idea for anyone online trying to protect their data from potential thieves. If this is never removed from my account, I'm ok with that in order to preserve my data and privacy. These are only games after all and not worth the risk of real data loss.

I have a feeling this person bullies their way through the disputes and reviews in order to not look as bad as they really are. In the trades that I've done with people after the fact quite a few people have brought up negative encounters with this person. They probably throw around the fact that they have so may trades a lot in order to get people to believe them over the newer person. Notice they never said they lost the game and in their last sentence, why would they have to send the game first? I could have just as easily sent my end first. This person is definitely reaching for straws in order to be right for very little reason other than to put me down and "win".

P.S. Of course I removed him from friends and blocked him. I think he's a potentially malicious person, why wouldn't I?
