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.

[hotel21]

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....

[VXL V6]

Yeh, I know that the Mods have tried to help out wherever they can  . 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

[Gaffers]

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

[Mr Skrunts]

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.

:-[I'm on that list  

Yeah, as a good guy.

As hotel21 said

"your a buyer....

Paid by Paypal so verifiable that you parted with cash?  Sounds like a no fault claim, if using Ins Assessor speak....    "





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.

Yep, agree with that.  

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.

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.

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.
