USA buying group - unreliable and shady

Exact same situation with 9 of my tracking numbers. Will post screenshots of this correspondence. They are really bad right now and I’m absolutely not going to buy for them now. Over the last two years I’ve done about 120k with them and more with other buying groups. Not doing any more with USA.

I've spent over $200k with them over the years and things have gone relatively smoothly. They are terribly slow in paying out checks but I haven't had missing packages. Suddenly they stopped scanning my packages since the new year. It took them forever to respond to tickets and when they do they gave lame excuses like "We've been doing inventory and will start scanning in a day or two". And guess what, a day or two passed and still nada. I have over $1k packages delivered and not scanned and at this point I'm not holding my hopes up. They'll ask you for proof of delivery and purchase in the ticket, and ask you how many of the same items you bought for them, and they then tell you they didn't receive the package -- and that's when they do respond to me. Now they just ignore me. I still have packages delivered on 12/02/2020 that is not scanned.

Swiping your card for some total stranger is always a risk. Let this be a lesson for anyone reading this thread. DO NOT BUY FOR USA BUYING GROUP. They will not pay you back. You have been warned.
