Posted about feedback before MKIV Supra forum had it and it seemed to work well. Even the SIDC has a warning system that could be used in a similar way. I know there will be some admin but since Scoobynet is a comercial venture now it shouldn't be too much to implement.

Not really the answer is it? There are many honest people who sell things on hear(including me),and wouldn't be fair on them. End of the day,get a good picture of anything advertised,and with engines,boxe's turbo's etc,you need to get a proper recipet stating the condition.Still not ideal i know,but you have the same problem any place you buy second hand parts.

I have sold a lot of parts on here myself and had no problems i am always honest and send pic's ect ect, as for those mirrors i would have put them in the bin 
i would not have sold them on as it would just cause problems like the one you are having now and it's no good to anyone, i have also been sold some parts described as good condition and when i recieved them they wernt 
if people were just honest there would be no problems.

Ive bought and sold a few things though Scooby Net and never had a problem.
Guess Ive been lucky.
I have read alot of posts on hear about people getting ripped off.
I think a feedback system would be a good idea.
Again you would have to be carefull but at least it would help.

I agree, its a bit of a tongue-in-cheek riposte to all the threads about people getting fleeced. There SHOULD be a name and shame thread, and then we would all know about the 404 wannabes that could potentially fleece us all. I love sending my dosh on my car, and the best way is secondhand. I have bought a full(no up pipe yet!) decat on here for £100. Not bad value considering the parts would have cost over £350 new. We just need to root out the low life who continue to fleece honest guys.

LOL. ROTFL. I was going to infract a dodgy trader but I don't think you are allowed to infract people for being pratts so I didn't bother. Not sure the facility of infraction actually works. I actually got one but that was subsequently overturned.
There is a problem with a small minority that are greedy and prepared to tell lies to sell items and worse still, people who take the money but the goods never turn up. There is also a problem with people who are very slow to deliver.
In clear cases scammers should be banned but that doesn't stop them reappearing under another name. It must be possible to devise a system for feedback that would be substantially policed by the members themselves but as has been pointed out to me previously, the moderators are not there to act as judge and jury and while a feedback section sounds like a good idea I would be concerned it could be abused by the unscrupulous or those with an axe to grind.
Properly thought out this would be an advantage to everyone.

his ban probaly ends today,as i was also banned at the same time and reinstated today,when i posted up his abusive PM s,when asking for the alternator he didnt send me.Banning seems to be the price of exposing losers like 404.When i sent 2 emails to the mods they just ignored me,as i found a thread with 404 giving one of the mods loads of abuse,so they knew his temperment already!the only reason i traded with him was because he had over 1700 posts!!How can this be from a bloke who i know has caught so many.Seems to me it could be a all mates together thing?I actually had people posting telling me to be quiet,and calling for the mods to delete the thread!!!Why,i was trying to protect others from losing their money

But seriously with a lot of people in trouble with money at the moment, the last thing people need is someone ripping someone else off. Something needs to be put in place and it doesn't take a lot I wouldn't of thought to open a feedback section on the forum.

I know we are talking about a very small number of dishonest people but their names will crop up regularly and the taste it leaves and the reflection on Scoobynet is grossly disproportional to the actual number of offenders so it is really in the interests of this board to take the bull by the horns.
But will it happen??????????????????????/

ive sold quite a few parts to people on here and wouldnt dare sell anything that wasnt as described but then again i have always tried to be as honest as poss.i once posted my old vf35 turbo to a guy over in canada which the royal mail made a right bollocks of and took months to deliver but i took it upon myself to chase it up and keep intouch with the guy until it arrived safely.
In fact all of the people I have had stuff from on SN have been excellent

Whereas I agree things on SN sale wise have gone down hill it amazes me how many people you read about are not happy with what they have brought, but will not send it back and get a refund, it defies logic to me, either accept them, agree a partial refund, or send them back, if you get no satisfaction pay them a visit.
That said a rating system of some sort would be benificial.

Its a poll to see if people want a feedback forum on here. Hopefully the mods will take note.
