the grill that i bought from an oof member still hasnt turned up so i started a dispute with paypal and it went in my favour,but due to him not having any funds in his paypal account,i never got my refund(surprise surprise)
and i also notice that he was usually on here every couple of days,but since this incident he hasnt been back on in a month,but then maybe he just is busy(yeah right)
thought i would just put an update on.

Sorry you have had a bad experience. I have bought off of two members on this forum, and I am in the process of buying off a third member.
To date all experiences have been very good.
I have never sold anything on here to anyone, but I have now sold a number of items on ebay and it can be particularly annoying when things go missing in the post.
I do hope it all comes good in the end.

IMHO:
I think in view of the circumstances of the foregoing, it would not be considered unfair/unjust if this (specific) member were identified to protect forum members from suffering similar experiences with him, lest he return to regular use of the O.O.F.
-
well we'll wait and see everyones response to your coment and then we just might do that
-
Debs, I could do with your command of the english language next time I have to write a difficult report.
Problem with this situation is that, inho, it spoils the trust buit up between oofers, many who never meet but seem so close. :)

I was thinking that but maybe with a given time limit to allow for personal circumstances, could be a genuine reason.
If not then name & shame. No time for wasters.
-
well it was away back middle of march i paid for it,and tell me,does any members earn 75k in a year?
-
I agree with Debs do something like ebay either feedback or name & shame, or if they won't play ball and get nasty THROW EM OFF.
-
I was just wondering if the Moderators were made aware of this individidual whether they could monitor his IP logging on to the server. If he still is and not honouring a sale then sorry to say they need to be named
But maybe only after a certain time and an official warning from admin for abusing site/members trust.
We just need to keep in mind there may be a genuine reason, but if they are accessing the site on a regular basis, then a PM to the buyer explaing any difficuties certainly would not go a miss.
-

I reckon you'd have to be a real Omega nut to have one and earn that sort of money.
Surely if you earn £75Kpa you're going to have a newer and flashier car than an Omega?
-
well thats what the individual in question reckons he earns,and when i mentioned to him about going to the police because technically it was theft,he got very defensive and abusive.not the actions of a person who has nothing to hide methinks.
-

Hmmmm does not look good, if I earnt £75k I probably would not drive an Omega, but I have no idea what I would drive. I know it would not be a bmw.

bobbert - please confirm to me by PM with whom you have the ongoing dispute (think I already know) and I will update the sticky in the parts/sales section.
-
likewise, if anyone has an ongoing or resolved dispute with a member, please advise me by PM for the same reason....

I agree with that; name & shame who ever it is, and perhaps ban them from the site >:( >:( Why should he be allowed to continue to upset (being polite & legal) other oof members! >:(

What the guy dreams he earns is not important to anybody other than himself..bottom line is ..a deal is a deal and if it has gone missing he should be prepared to offer what ever assistance to allow you to claim the money back,assuming it was sent recorded it would be covered anyway.
I have had a similar ongoing situation with a lost package,but between the member and myself we are persuing a claim from the Post Office..unfortunatley it is taking a fair time though
-
Whilst I have a leaning towards banning folks who are not 'in good standing' as it were, if that were done then any avenue for their return to resolve is closed.

H21, are you trying to say you want to ban me :o

Not if you take legal action, and it seems he is known to be in a situation where he can be reached. :-?:y

I know someone who earns well in excess of 75k who drives around in a 13 year old VW a car to him is just a means of getting from A to B

If you are the seller, potentially, yes...
Thats the reason I say that to ban a member is extreme and, perhaps more importantly, a bad thing for reasons I've already given.

Howso? The members have absolutely no idea who you are, other than whats showing in your user profile.
-
If you have his address, write politely telling him it hasn't arrived, and you expect him to sort it out. If he doesn't respond within say a week, then write again telling him that if he hasn't delivered or refunded within a week you will take him to Small Claim's Court, which will add £20 to his bill. Doesn't matter if he tries to po-po it because of the money he earns, Small Claims Court aren't fussy who they prosecute.

Having just read the applicable-sticky in the sales and wanted section, I think it addresses the problem appropriately and fairly; with both the seller/buyer and status of the dispute shown, and combined with the >250 post prescription. :y
-
Sending cash to a paypal ID does not generate a user address viewable by the buyer, as I recall, but stand to be corrected. If purchased on E-bay, different story....
-
£75k? ...... I wouldn't get out of bed for that kind of money. ;D ;D

Oops, sorry you are right. That is the one big problems with todays internet culture, people may or may not exist.

But I understood from bobbertbear postings he was in communication with the gentleman concerned, speaking to him and talking about police action. :-? :-? :-?

That communication may simply be PM's via the forum, not registered letters to a home address....
-
Having just read the new sticky. I totally agree.
It's just a shame that the odd few spoil it for others to have question trust.

Right...I misunderstood that point. Thanks! :y It does make any follow-up action rather difficult then. :(

My address is on my Avatar, it's only a little village, and I am on the map. Perhaps this is the way to avoid further problems, just my tuppence worth. :)

Great if you stay in a small place and everyone knows everyone else....
Mine? - its on the local Police HQ! ;D

Providing all give their true location of course and in a city one can be much more anonymous lol.
-
i havent got an address for him so cant comunicate by letter,it was all done thru txts and email,and when he told me to fone him he never answered his fone and made excuses about being in "a meeting"

One to avoid then......... ;D ;D ;D :y

it's a shame we have to get to this level, but i fully agree with what has been done.
The internet has made the world/this country a smaller place, at sometime we have all fallen foul of people who had less than good intentions, the internet allows us anonymity which in turn seems to have made matter worse in some respects.
I really hope that all of those that are outstanding can be resolved to a mutually acceptable level :y
-
i agree with andy b , £75k penuts we dont get out of bed north of watford for that, we get paid in black puddins ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
i have no comunication with him now as i wasnt getting anywhere with him.
-
how mutch did you pay for grill if you dont mind me asking.
-
Having just read the new sticky. I totally agree.

your a buyer....
Paid by Paypal so verifiable that you parted with cash? Sounds like a no fault claim, if using Ins Assessor speak.... ;)
-
Unfortunately, doesn't the legal term "Caveat Emptor" have a great deal of influence here.... purchasing from an "unknown" source ??
At least with fleabay there is a "recognised" buyer/seller contract ... agreeing to buy from a forum ??? I'm not sure :(
I have purchased from folks on here BTW ... but ALWAYS done "cash on pick-up" ... that way I check the goods first ... :)
Just my Victor Meldrew head on methinks .. :(
-
While it's not very pleasant to name people who mess people about, I do think it's neccesary when a resolution is not forthcoming simply because the said person could be happily scamming everyone else as they are unaware of all the previous bad dealings.
-
To clarify a little, there has been a degree of Admin/Mod intervention when requested by one side in a dispute or another so that a resolution, suitable to both sides, could be acheived. It is only when such 'resolution' fails that we are now where we are....
-
Yeh, I know that the Mods have tried to help out wherever they can :y. Such a shame that a couple of people spoil it for the many.
-
the grill that i bought from an oof member still hasnt turned up so i started a dispute with paypal and it went in my favour,but due to him not having any funds in his paypal account,i never got my refund(surprise surprise)
i had this before with paypal and got no refund due to the other party not having funds however nearly two months later i received the money back from paypal, you never know you may get lucky
-
well it was away back middle of march i paid for it,and tell me,does any members earn 75k in a year?
I reckon you'd have to be a real Omega nut to have one and earn that sort of money.
Surely if you earn £75Kpa you're going to have a newer and flashier car than an Omega?
Yeah but I would still have a VERY nice meega ;)
-

Yeah, as a good guy.
As hotel21 said
"your a buyer....

Now that the details are there regarding the seller of "the missing grill" thread do I take it the info given on the sale of his car is false.
His location and mobile number.

or 7
Monday I would be using the Omega MV6
Tuesday I would use the Irmscher Elite
Wednesday I the Steinmetz Elite.
Thursdays I would nip down to Santa to test the Omega V8 Project
Friday would be shopping day in the Elite estate.
Saturday would be dumpit site day after doing the garden in the GLS estate runabout.
Sunday would be a lie in and then out for lunch in the Monaro

Just done a search on Google for the person in question and seems he may have a facebook accounts.
Would be a shame for all his friends to find out he might be a scammer

Any action to name and shame publicly should be left entirely to the Admins. Remember the recent fate of another Forum where adverse info. was posted publicly about an offending garage.
It's a very delicate area, in which yet again everything seems to favour the offender rather than the victim.

Yep, agree with that. :y

I belong to a Corfu holiday website where a Travel Agency was slagged off and the owner of the holiday website was fined €90.000 in the Greek Courts.

If it was me and I had had no response or interest shown by a seller in resolving an issue I would start a thread asking him publicly if he had given any thought to the situation and whether he would refund the sum paid.That way there is no name and shame but the persons identity would be known to all and he would get no more business from the members of this site.
I realise the delicate situation we are in here but this guy is probably pissin himself laughing watching us pussyfooting around debating this theft.

bobbertbear. Do you know his full name & a rough location by any chance? If you do, PM me I may be able to help with an address.
**** edited to remove potentially damaging comments **** ;D
I'll keep info strictly between your self & i :y

Ok bod. It was a nice try anyway :(

I'm going to sound like a real killjoy here.....
I do not believe that there should be any indication of who it was or home area, even if they are 'possibilities'
Whilst i sympathise with Bobbet it opens up too many avenues of repercussion, and it wouldn't take long for that to come back to the forum.

Whilst I agree this is an emotive issue, a public forum is not the place to potentially be teeing yourself or anyone else up for a prosecution as regards a breach of the Data Protection Act.
Quote and original post modified to remove that possibility and potential damage to OOF as a whole.
Furthermore, not meaning yourself Wasp, if anyone must mention use of baseball bats etc then please do so in PM's between individuals for exactly the same reason.
thanks..... :y

You still potentially incited or indicated an alternate possibility.
If you want to discuss by PM, please do so outwith public forum.
Like it or lump it, your post has been modified.....

Agree with Jay W on this. Ive read about the "other" forum and the repercusions involved. Would not like one little bit for anything like that to happen to this forum. Only been a member a few months and the wealth of knowledge and sense of belonging is amazing here.
