paid him for a turbo over a month ago,and has been ignoring my pm's since.
anyone have a contact number for him or anything?
would just like my money back at this stage,as ive been messed around for long enough.

 

Oh dear that's not good, I'm sure he will explain his side soon, so be patient.

 

Did you send payment as gift then?

 

Raise PayPal dispute if you can.

 

unfortunatley yes,it was sent as a gift.

 

I've been stung before paying as gift lost £400 on a set of defis off piston heads that never turned up n guy disappeared so if some one asks me to pay as gift if it's over £50 Il pay the extra fees on top and send as normal that way I hope if the same happens PayPal will sort it out
Hopefully this thred will get the ball rolling for u

 

I`ve just bought a backbox for £75 + postage.....a small amount but I stuck the fees on top anyway. Ya never know mate.

 

I'm gonna stick to just adding the fees from now on but how do you work out the fees properly? Just add 4%?

 

SN is not Ebay
Paid by PayPal gift
Give him the benefit of the doubt

Just to save Ali and NS04 the bother of their usual diatribe on the subject

 

In the sale section, there is a sticky thread called Market Place Rules and Advice:

If you ignore the advice you risk getting scammed. Don't know why people keep ignoring the advice but they do.

Hopefully your seller isn't a scammer as you have no comeback if they are.

 

PayPal automatically works them out and shows you, etc. You do nothing.

 

Have you tried his personal email, MSN or Skype contacts ?

All the best,

he said he was moving house as i was interested in the gauges he was selling but he never answered a pm i sent him about them 2 weeks ago. hopefully hes just busy with the move?

 

if its a genuine explanation,thats fine,but im waiting impaitently on turbo as i need to get my car back on the road,but i will now have to souce one elsewhere,and just want my money back.

 

link to the last time i heard from him on his thread:https://www.scoobynet.com/928073-60m...-gauges-2.html

 

Anything over £50 then pay the fees, that's what I always do anyway.

 

also he had bother with the post on that thread but as you can read he did send another gauge to the guy so seems to be an honest seller? hope it gets sorted bud

 

askign for send money as gift = scam

 

I hate when people scam other plus on here is happening so often you cant trust anyone anymore, i have learnt from others and will never send payment as a gift.

I am sure he is the guy who had some gauges for sale with no make but identical as defis so he says.

 

Before the usual snet witch hunt starts, he's a known member and seems like a genuine guy.

I also know from his threads on here that he is moving house, has had legal problems to do with the landlord not paying mortgage and subsequent court issues, and just to put the icing on the cake his mrs is about to drop a sprog.

So just give the lad the benifit of the doubt, as i don't think he is a scammer, just going through a difficult time.

 

Here is the thread

I think you may well be right, that he is just having some problems at the moment. He hasn't been on here since the 22nd May, so it may well be best to try to contact him via e-mail as suggested earlier. I would give him the benefit of the doubt at this point, although I do understand your frustration. I genuinely hope this is resolved soon.

 

I was not point at him directly but in general has been loads of cases of people scamming other on Snet, i did not say that he scammed the OP.

 

if he has time to advertise and reply to pm's about his turbo he has time to put it in a box and send it!
no excuses when taking peoples money!

 

+1 Tubbs! Irrespective of his problems it doesent take much to fulfull his commitment as the seller..

 

thats my point they all have plenty of time to list pictures, reply to emails and agree prices and take peoples hard earned money.

then as soon as they have the money they are too busy to pop it in a box and post it.

i bet he wasnt too "busy" to transfer the money from paypal to his bank account.

 

if it helps this guy was interested in a pushchair I was thinking of selling so clearly he had the intention to pay for something himself. I'm sure he will re-appear as others have said, he must be going through a bad spell. Seeing as he was interested in a pushchair he could well be expecting if not already dropped which is why he has gone missing.

At the same time I must agree it doesnt take long to send something, could have got a friend/family to send it.

 

Dont pay as a gift
It's repeated every week
And still these threads reappear

 

I know he's been having problems at the moment with moving.

I also know that he's been around a while and seems honest.

I reckon he will rectify the situation for you.

 

Ok guy's just back off, as all manner of things could have happened in this guys life with the things he has going on.

It must be so nice never to have had a difficult time in your lives, where other things have been more important to you than posting something.

I understand the op's frustration, and there is a certain amount of validity to your comments, but that doesn't mean that you should air them at this time, it would be nice if people offered words of support or reassurance for a change, we are supposed to be a community, what happened to compassion and understanding.
