neil@neilbarry.orangehome.co.uk

How did you pay him?.SJ.

 

He hasn't been on since the 13th July.

 

paypal.

 

GIFT?.SJ.

 

iff you recieve money from somebody you make sure everything goes alright.. that's my idea...

 

According to his stats he has never started a for sale thread,did he send you a personal pm selling his wares?.SJ.

 

No he didnt start a topic. He had a reaction in an other topic that he had a sti strut brace for sale. So Ive send him a PM.

It was send as gift yes.

 

why people still do this is beyond me,even when i sell stuff i dont encourage people to gift the payment

 

Oh dear..am I correct in thinking that if you pay for goods or services you can get paypal involved but as gift you can't?
As you can probably tell I dont use it that often..

 

correct

 

Oh dear, you paid for goods through paypal and tried to do a gift deposit to save paying a few quid!!

Going to cost you a lot more then the 3% charge that paypal use!!


Just count yourself lucky it wasn't a few thousand pounds and put it down as a lesson learned, I know its a proper kick in the *****, but just dont get caught out like this again!!!

 

Yup more fool you really.

Bet you won't send a gift again!

I always give people the option then it is their decision, so unless you go knock on his door you are on a hiding to nothing

 

Yeah.. Now I know why..

 

Its not going to happen again..

I just want to warm people for him.

 

A gift payment is fine as long as you know that your buying from a reputable seller,but that's the rub right there,unless you are 100% sure just send it through paypal goods as that is exactly what it is.A gift payment to the wrong seller is just that "A GIFT!!!".SJ.

 

Why?

Are you a bit stupid or what?

 

Why would he be stupid, I've sold and bought in the same was as what has happened to leoke, it's just **** happens unfortunately

 

I'd happily pay by gift to a trusted seller, and have done on here with no issues. I think it depends on the amount

 

Let me think:

1. bought via PayPal gift
2. bought via random message on a car forum
3. bought from random low post, newbie member


Stupid is a harsh word, perhaps "******* unbelievably naive" is a better turn of phrase...?

 

Exactly, trusted Not as per my previous post of randomer shifting their goods on another thread.

I've bought from friends on here before, friends being the operative word.

 

Didn't realise he was a new member,

 

I recognise the name

 

<<<<<<<<<<< Look here, see how long some of us have been here, I'd happily gift COB, Shrek and SJ, the rest of you can suck my nut sack.

 

Yup I bought from you and paid as gift with no probs you are well known on here tho so that's why I trusted you
Wouldn't have done the same with a newbie but we all make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. Unlucky to the op and cheers for the heads up to everyone.

 

Are you sure, I have a few nice bit's for sale, 50% off just for you.

On a serious not, I still like to go old skool, I actually move of my chair and go buy things from shops etc.

 

Is £10k by gift ok.

 

They taste extra vinegary today mmmm

 

I must try and get SN to change my join date so it looks like I haven't been here as long as you guys.
How do you buy something from a shop, that has never been sold in a shop, oh wise one?

 

Well first of all I can probably live with out, but it's funny how you say "wise one" the biggest problem for me is that I am not "wise" to the problems facing the internet buyer.

I could start small but I have never come across anything that I've wanted that I couldn't get else where.

In fact, while my little brain is ticking over I did once buy a tv/dvd for my truck a few years back, it took a few day's to arrive but when it did the remote wasn't working so I sent the seller a message and the next day he replied saying he has sent a new one.

So about 5 day's after deciding to but a little tv I had myself said tv and two remotes, although I was pleased with the seller the new remote still didn't work so I went to the shop that I was trying to save the effort of going to by buying of the net in the first place for a specific battery.

In short for a small saving I had to wait about 6 days and still did the journey I was trying to avoid in the first place, since then I haven't bothered but iam sure the day will come that I buy from off the net again.
