Default let down by a trader on here and need parts but apparently i need a gold membership??

Hi all

really pissed off today, trusted a trader on here with 4000 pounds since last october to make me some parts and after excuse and excuse and excuse ive been told to send my bank details for a refund, im not going to name and shame as i just feel so pissed off that two wrongs wont make it right

my problem is i need these parts and without a gold membership i cant ask if anyone has the parts for sale etc

maybe the mods can pm me and also take some more money for my parts search

project stalled 7 fuucking months, makes you want to give up and sell up

why not just pay the £10 to become a gold member and ask yourself? seems like you have had a raw deal but if you have already waited 7 months, a few days more surely cant hurt

You could always get someone you know with a paypal account to pay the membership fee on your behalf?

nah, will prob end up selling the project as is, bits im after arent common everyday bits and will most likely be another headache and another 7 months wasted of my life.

thats the issue with this gold membership, as said earlier 2 wrongs dont make a right, ie he did wrong and now im going to potentially fuck him up, all i will say as a few of you have said already the stuff from what ive seen is first class but the other side of the business, ie the front of shop needs serious work, im currently texting this person and will see what the outcome is, ive also expressed my feelings on the customer service issue, i was fuming earlier but now that ive cooled down i dont want to fuck the guy over on here,

im an amatuer enthusiast and far from perfect myself, we see how it goes

good of you to admit it Mark.

your work is top class but the time scale it takes for people to get their parts lets you down.

hope you can get this sorted.

Fair play to both parties.
1. For not naming and shaming
2. For admitting they are at fault
Seems 2 genuine and fair / honest people

Hi all

i tink its best not to take this for anymore than what it is, ie a let down, as said earlier i was fuming, ive cooled down now, my fuse has never been long, we are trying to work it out somehow at the moment, lessons for us all here i guess, for me its never hand over a bob again until im collecting bits and be more careful

Hang in there mate, weve all been there with these damn projects and with some patience they come good in the end. Also, well done to you both for not turning this into a slanging match, mistakes have been made and hopefully will be rectified.

Dave - you have PM.

your parts are top quality and in great demand

why not take someone on to take the work load off you

an old boy who can work a laith part time for a bit of beer money must be a good idea surely
