Default `Scammers` on PF

Can i just ask what happens when a PF member lists an item(s) for sale, he recieves payment for it, and then DOESN`T send it?

If you haven`t guessed already, its regarding the following topic mainly...

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...695&highlight=

Can we not have some sort of feedback rating for goldmembers of any kind? Maybe a "Possible Bad Seller" warning above there post counter as i have seen on other forums, or maybe a ban?

I`m only saying this because genuine PF buyers are getting ripped off by people like in the above thread and it would be nice if i could buy something off PF knowing it will turn up.

Afaic it should be a ban straight off.
Especially as a certain seller has confirmed he isnt going to do anything about it

Hi peeps


I think anyone of this fourm that do this should be banned there no excuse for anything

if you buy something of a member and posting is involved they should send it asap once payment has been made


the mods should do something about it

This is one of the reasons PF has a paying trader syatem , so people can buy knowing that the trader is a decent person ( or should be )

Sadly tho , there is no syatem for knowing who is good or bad when it comes to private sales

Also , I see people on here still doing a little buying and selling who have in the past had very bad posts about them and the lack of sending parts and yet within a month its all forgoten this is why a system would be a good thing , if its possible

Paul

ps, OR,, just ban anyone from selling anything then you will all have to buy from me

when you post something it has the date on when it was posted so there no bullshite there

and if you write a cheque , you have to put a date on the cheque

same as when you do any other transfer it's all logged you can always print it off

You have no email address/physical address/phone number to contact the member concerned. Only way to contact is by PM.

If we ban the user, how can contact be made?

I would imaging have the email addresses users registered with are no longer used/accessed.

Rating system is a good idea, just dont know how difficult it is to implement.

Feedback rating would be a good idea, several members are on here have an outstanding reputation for going above & beyond to make sure you get the parts you paid for & i thinks its only fair to have a rating system.

It would definatly help prevent the scammers from trying it on & the more forgetful sellers to perhaps do a little better.
