Then I assume you and your cousin are selling them on here as a private sale.
This would mean you will need to declare the profits for tax purposes.
Unless you are fully above board and already do, hence you are a business yourself and should declare so to Scoobynet as a trader.
Its got to be one or the other

Funny how i get my refund as soon as this thread is started 
Everyone can see from his threads how long i was owed the money, the fact he sayed he sent out 2 cheques and they never arrived just confirms how much pish he was talking, especially as my refund was via paypal from jdmotorsport.
Only lesson ive learnt from this is no matter how good there feedback/post count/activity is,NEVER paypal as a gift

really glad you got the £ back mate, unfortunately it was proberbly funded by some other poor sod who's likely to get the excuses.
I've seen a few threads in the for sale section with the usual "wheres my stuff" posted.
Wonder if the mods will make them pay for traders membership?

Well you should be paying trader fees to sell stuff on here.
After checking back through the records over the past 2 years, several moderators have PM'd you requesting that you email stu about your trading activities. Your one previous reply saying you have done so, but Stu says otherwise. Then you appeared to magically stop posting on the forums for a number of months. Although the accounts remain active and logged in regularly - I guess to use the PM system. Then after a number of months trading activity resumes...still without paying SN for authorised advertiser (aka trader) status. SN plus membership does not cover you for this type of activity.
The same appears to have happened with the Martin! account, which has since magically started posting nothing but adverts after a long period of no activity (even if the account was regularly logged into), and notably selling some of the same stuff as the scoobymanUK account.
I have been asked to pull all current sales adverts and once again remind you that you or your 'cousin' are not allowed to post any adverts under either accounts, until Stu says otherwise.
I'm posting this publically so people are aware of the situation, and why the adverts have been pulled.

Interesting ,i purchased a full 3" exhaust off scoobymanuk quite some time ago and i was careful to confirm via PM that it was indeed full 3"as the photos were awful.When it turned up the backbox had 3" pipework with a 2.5 flange mig welded onto the end a 3" downpipe tapering to 2.5" ,the only part true 3" was the center pipe.I complained and he told me it was all my fault cause i should have been able to tell by the grainy small resolution photos he had put up of it[despite his own words that it was full 3"].Refused refund so ranted at him and i left him bad feedback.
Also recently had a rear dif of Martin! that never showed up due to a courier mistake.But to be fair to him he eventualy offered me a refund.

The stories are all over various forums mate, not just this one. A lot of the local forums have the same horror stories and a few admin etc from some of these have contacted me saying that they refused to pay for a traders membership and were eventually banned as a result.
No doubt they'll be off to join somewhere else to subject their poor members to the same quality of products and services.

not slow posting mate, you'll get fed up soon, send a few emails then get excuses why they didnt turn up. Then you'll wait longer, and longer then eventually ask for a refund, then wait longer, and longer.
Or you might get lucky and they actually turn up, thats the gamble.

I am in no hurry, seems slow sending is fairly normal for this guy, so will bide my time.
He has been good at contact, seen lots worse.

Bloody hell Steve, that sucks.
Apparently theres going to be a really big brake fluid delivery up at JD Motorsports soon, from what i've been reading. Had several admin from different sites contacting me with horror stories and a trail of unhappy people. Think their luck may have just run out.

My brakes arrived, they were cheap and they need a lot of derusting. IMHO I got what I paid for, maybe my expectations were low?

Update, looks like Scoobymanuk and Martin are using Pistonheads for sales but also have a traders account on here which has over 1000 posts.
If they had a traders account all along, why didnt they use it?
