I made a trade deal with someone and sent the codes I was supposed to but haven't received what I was supposed to get in return yet so I'm wondering if the other person just hasn't been on to get and send the codes or if they took the codes I gave them and aren't planning to give me what they told me they would trade for them.

Can you tell us who?

The only thing you can do is search for his name and look when he made the last post.
Maybe i'm wrong but i remember reading you can ask the admins to block the codes and send you new ones.
I was dreaming or it's ture?

How do I search for posts by him just run the name through the forum search engine? Doing so got me nothing It said there were no topics with his name in them..

Eit: It says " "RYAN841" returned 0 posts"

In that case you are out of luck and can't tell if he was online (you can only look at your chat and see if one is online right now). From my experience it's never a good idea to trade with people without any visible forum presence. I would contact support and ask them to revoke the codes.

did he use the codes you gave him? cause they would show up as redeemed in your list.
I was trading him Steam codes for a GOG code so that wouldn't apply and I don't know any way to test Steam codes without using them. I have the games in question on GOG and see no reason to have them on both.

Unfortunately, there are a couple jerks who go around using alt accounts to rip people off in trades. Sounds as if you were conned by one. Before you do any trade, you really should do a forum search for the person. See if he's a regular. See if anyone else has had a problem them before. I'd also be careful of people with names like Ryan841 since if one is so lazy picking a name, what are the odds that person isn't a throwaway account.
I was afraid of that but hoping I was wrong D: I was really looking forward to having the entire Shock franchise both System and Bio on Christmas and should have been more careful.
Should always used a trusted third person for trades. He gets both codes and then gives both parties their due...
I don't really know anyone on GOG who would be willing to do such a thing.

On the plus side Ryan finally contacted me an apparently wants to e-mail the code to me so it looks like he was just away rather then taking the codes and running.

Don't draw that conclusion until you redeem the code and have it in your library. :)
Personally during trading i usually redeem the code first before providing the other with their code...

Hmm i really really wish that GoG had worked with me a little, a way to test if codes were used or available or something, and build a way to confirm codes were working. Wouldn't be the best solution but you could at least have the code checked safely.
It's kinda sad that people still can't safely trade games while I remember safe trading mechanics in multiplayer RPGs at least from the early 2000's.
