this doesn't sound good! there is another post on here at the mo from jaycos saying he hasn't delivered something also.

mike, sort yourself out mate because this isn't the first time

how can you build a business reputation if you can't deliver?

Hmmm....................and he weas trying to be a do-gooder on here last week on a post about estate agents.......................

still, give the fella a chance, there may be an explanation for this that's watertight. He deserves the benefit of the doubt at this moment in time.

If there's a good explanation for it, surely he'd want to share that via pm tho hun? If people aren't ''available'' to send goods then hopefully they aren't ''available'' to download the money from paypal to their bank or cash a cheque, that's just my 2 cents. Nobody minds waiting for a good reason..

Hope it gets sorted quickly anyway

I gave him the benefit of the doubt for 3 weeks but i though he was starting to take the piss when he is ignoring all my pms but clearly posting on here! What a tool!!

Any who i hope paypal can sort it out. I suggest you remove his selling facility if i am not the first that has been ripped off!

Not a happy bunny!

Mike will NOT rip you off.

There will be a perfectly good reason why he has been unable to contact you and I think you calling him what you did will only serve to embarrass yourself when he does get in touch.

i waited a while as well for a filter for the cossy, pm him loads but never got a response but then 1 day it just turned up????!!!! so i suppose he does send the things even though they are weekl late.

i can fully understand why your mad mate, its infuriating when some 1 doesnt contact you and you are desperate for the part recon he needs to sort it out.

at the end of the day if your going to sell something on here , and state a rough delivery time then surely you can stick you . if you have a problem you should contact the buyer asap. like said how can the bloke post on here and not answer mateys pm's?

i know how you feel mate cos i bought a dump valve and a set of white dials off 2 different people on here and ending up waiting nearly 3 weeks for them ??

paid on a sunday they should have been able to post them monday/tuesday and i could have had them weds/thurs??

it is flipping annoying cos i know if i sell anything i make damn sure its sent the within the next 2 days by me or mate, and if you cant send it straight away you should say this before taking someones hard owned cash. at least this way they mite buy it from someone else that mite get it there a bit quicker !! surely thats fair !!

Chop, worryingly I agree. When I saw his post about how to get a good business via reputation I did have a little chuckle.

He did the same thing to Dave, when he did return he cited personal problems... those problems seemingly being unable to stay logged onto MSN for more than 2 seconds after seeing Dave's name

Does anyone lose their status to sell on here if there are a multitude of p*ssed off 'customers'?

Would be cool if a rating system could be done on here (not sure how hard that would be?) so you can see who your buying off.

As said above a 2min email from the guy would of been nice if he was having probs.

Like what? Send the boys round on the knee cap rap?

If we ban him he cannot contact you as he cannot logon to access his PM's, he wont answer your PM's then he wont answer ours.

Give some ideas and we will see whats viable.

I have spoken with Mike today and there seems to be a good reason for the delay with the parts, i certainly will not be pestering him due to this, however im unsure of anyones elses situation.

It’s always personal problems!!!! Still no reason for it. How long does it take to drop a pm (especially as we KNOW he is online)

Adrian, I think Daz’s suggestion is splendid. If feedback is good enough for eBay…

He uses the ‘personal problems’ excuse all the time. I have personal problems, don’t we all eh. I still don’t mess about when I’ve sold summat to someone though.

As said, some people seem to be fine Richie but alas others do not.

Not very good for someone who is trying to build a reputation. I'd not buy a single thing from him, even if the Escos depended on it. I'd rather wait.

They eBay style of things is something that has been suggested before.

Dont know the difficulties in coding this into the BB

Only Petrucci could answer that.
