i bought some stuff form someone on here about 3 weeks ago and they have still not been sent,i have a pm saying he recived the money and he was gonna post them that was the 28 th of june,and there still not here,so whats the next step i dont wanna go splashing his name around,but he is not returning my pm's ,it's only a small ammount of money but its not the point.......

what should i do next......

 

name and shame the fooker!!!!! thats a piss take!

 

If they said that they received your payment on 28 June, then that was 2 and half weeks ago now

If they did post it, then it has gone missing.
If they did not post it, then they are taking the piss.

Did you PM them and ask where your stuff is? If they did not reply within reasonable time (i.e. 1 week) then you need to tell them to get their arse into gear and send goods or refund your money if they cannot. Or else you name and shame them.
If it was thru ebay, then ask e-bay for advice too.

whats the bets these were bought in isle of wight

 

 

OI!

 

anyone who buys by mail order should insist on having the package fully insured up the the amount to cover the goods inside,it does cost a few more quid but can stop a lot of bad blood.
A parcel which has bee sent can then be tracked aslo paying the extra is proof of postage.I have been sending parts through mail order for over 15 years and yes I have had parcels damged,lost and turn up late but at all times my custumer and I have known that there money and my good are covered.
If a item is sent a fair time to start worring is about 7 days after postage,but as I said if sent correctly a tracking number is available to proove its been sent
There obviously something wrong if the sender is not replying to your PMs,I would be chasing the problem up

 

that narrows it down, i would post the name just incase he hasnt any p.c. acceess and one of his mates might see and advise him, could be a a simple explination

 

They could also be on holiday abroad at the minute. Check out their username profile (or ask one of the mods to have a look) and find out when they last posted on here. I'm sure admin/ Pet/ Stu can access the last time they even visited the site (and not necessarily posted anything).

If they've been on during this time, then they're takin the pee & they need naming. It may be the only way to get them to respond.

 

yes i have sent a few pm's now and no reply,he did say he was having a few probs but that was a while ago now,and the last pm's said he was gonna send them,

mabey he has no internett acess at the min,so i will ask one of the mods to see if he can be found that way first,

cheers for the advice........

 

just tell us who it is somebody will be able to help you out as theres a 99% chance the named person will have mates that use pf

 

Are the PMs you sent him in your 'Outbox' still? If so then he hasn't read them yet. If they are in your 'Sentbox' then he has read them and not bothered to reply

 

You can see the last time they posted for yourself, just click their name and then find all posts by ---- and it will bring up all the posts with the most recent first

 

and at that point i would be thinking why ??

i know people can sometimes forget .. or overlok things thinking they have sent stuff etc .. but might be worth looking at the persons last posts .. as to try and guage if they are ignoring you ...

 

This is getting silly now and seems to be happening to more and more pf members!!!!

NAME AND SHAME

 

name n shame

 

ok i will its RSJOHN from ..........................wait for it



















the isle of whight

 

 

i bought something off a pf member in march this year for over Ł200 it eventually got to me at the end of may by this time i had organised a replacement so i sent it back ( another Ł19 postage cost ) it was signed for the next day. and guess what im still waiting to get my refund. this is really pissing me off now. wont even talk on msn when there signed on either and to narrow the named down he is on holiday at this precise moment. i will never buy anything off a member again if i can help it.

they should have ratings like ebay( hes not a trader) then you could see if they are a genuine ford enthuiast

 

For fooks sake!
Its about time PF started removing selling rights on here 'Gold Member' or not, from these people who constantly mess people around

 

well said. the guy who owes me money has over 13000 posts aswell

 

Well as there are only 11 over 13k posts and i know at least 9 of them wouldn't fook some one over then that leaves a choice of 2 for me then!

 

I have bought a few things off here and never had any hassle at all but had major problems with 2 e-bay sellers with very high, good feedback so its just your luck unfortunatly

hope you get it sorted though mate.

 

its only Łbut its not the point realy,

i think something like a rating thing would be a good idea,but how would it work.....

 

We use a trader rating under the avatar on another car forum I use. Not fool proof but gives people an idea at least as to who is good and bad. It also seems to be a lot of the trusting newbies getting stung. Maybe a poll would be a good idea?

 

your taking the piss mate ask demondave its probably his mate
