caution of buying goods from a seller
 

Hi all,

unfortunately, here we may be going again.

i was contacted by another member yesterday about goods he purchased from a seller on here called "stevetease". he has sent the £250 agreed and the goods haven't turned up. i also left a deposit of £50 for an AVCR with the rest to follow on the 28th of this month.

Obviously hearing from the other member set the old alarm bells ringing and i then phoned the number given by the seller after not getting a reply to a PM yesterday. the number given is for a company in the midlands and obviously, this chap doesnt work there.

i have sent nother PM to the seller basically saying i hope its a misunderstanding and that i also hope he hasn't tried to rip me off, or the other member for that matter or anyone else.

hopefully he will get in touch and it'll all be sorted, but to be honest, it doesnt look good does it. so stevetease, if your out there fella, get in touch, deliver the other chaps goods, and either meet me face to face to complete our transaction or refund the £50.

as i said in the email i sent to you, if you dont, I WILL contact the police and they can go through the paypal transaction for an address.

So far, hopefully, its a misunderstanding, and i'm not saying anything concrete about the seller. but i thought the rest of you should know so that until its resolved, no one else sends any money to this guy.

if he does get in touch i'll delete this post and keep you updated.

cheers

steveTEASE?????
hope this gets sorted,but doesnt look to good!!

Needforspeed I feel for you I myself chasing upandunder for a defi which I paid for and he has never been in touch.. can't understand why this happens I mean advertise pay receive it's not that hard to do ........

~Did you pay as a GIFT on paypal?

this is the limitation of asking payment to be by GIFT. There is no come back with Paypal on this because a gift , is not a purchase for goods, therefore they cant intervene.

I do ask for gift when selling things as to not get stung by the paypal charges, but i know im honest as they come. Might be worth, when selling things, that the buyer can pay the paypal charges to do it as a proper transaction if they are unsure and then they are covered withh PayPals buyer protect system.

Hope you get it sorted dude. PM the mods, and see if they can see online activity from his username, if hes been online then they can know for sure he is just ignoring you.

Grr, p***ses me off!!!!

something needs to be done about this its happened too to many people including me.

i,ve just been taken then.......
i'll f**king kill him,if he's taken me for a ride,,,,,,,,,,,,
just paid 30 plus another 30 by the looks of it.....
if he's about step up and talk.....he should .....!!!!!!!!!!!!

news travells fast ......

well steetease has contacted me with an address to complete the transaction so hopefully its sorted.

i'll keep you updated just in case but fingers crossed it comes to a peaceful conclusion for all concerned

I purchased a MAF sensor from ktm525racing and it was in a worse way than the faulty one i took out. Have sent numerous messages but recieved no reply.
But yet he is still allowed to trade on here ???

need for speed any chance of that address..
as would like to pick bits up personally..!

gc8-r

i intend to go over there on the 28th so you are more than welcome to come along

give me a call and we'll sort something out 07957 692849

Good on you lads, go get your goods!!

There's way to many con artists around these days!! :mad:

Do it, guys. No fists required, he will be sh1t scared enough just realising he hasnt got away with it. I hate these c&nts, I really do.

I will come as well if I dont get a responce.. Can we check that he lives at the address he has given us somehow?

i'll ring you ,,
did he give you a address for the isle of white???
give me a p'm

Don't deal with these people list
 

Hi,just an idea,couldn't we have a list of people not to deal with including all information known.( Our maybe it all ready exists on her and I don't know where to look.:thumb:

update !!!

it now seems there are at lease 4 people who have paid for goods and not recieved anything so far.

as stated earlier, i have an address, whether its the right one or not who knows? but i intend on going over (isle of white) on the 28th or that weekend. anyone wanting to tag along let me know.

steve???? you reading this???? still time to do the right thing fella.

you ripping us off, you are basically calling us pussies, or at least treating us like one, and i aint a pussy for no one.

up to you

While were all at it im still waiting for a refund from "WMSCOOBY" for an ecu i purchased . was promised a full refund 100% . that was 2 months ago tried phoning and text but no answer hmmmm. funny that!!!!

this is bang out of order, we need a disputes section and a way for mods to be able to track these people when signing up - its only fair.

having personally been ripped off over £600 last year over forums and stuff not turning up - im all for it. its got to stop.

Burn the f@ckers that's what I say

right quick update!!!

just spoken to coops and he's up for a visit on the weekend of the 28th-30th.

so far the costs of this adds up to roughly £600 from at least 4 members.

so gc8-r and jamiedream what say you??? you up for it???

i thought all the stuff he was selling was to cheap , did wonder if it was a scam j

Getting the address checked on the police computer now so should have an answer very soon as to who lives at the address given :nono:

It's about time the mods, or guys that run these forums step up and make sure it is a safe place to trade. Keep hearing to many stories of people getting ripped off on here. Best of luck guys

then thers the bank account details from paypal. opps. seems like you may have ripped the wrong people.

moral of this story is: you never know who your messing with or who the people your messing with may know.

still time and opportunity to do the right thing and if i were you i'd take it

No luck on the computer im afraid. Voter role next I guess.
Why are there not restrictions on here for people selling stuff. Im not talking about posts coz anyone can bump up posts but there should be a combination of time scale ands posts before people can sell or something

hey people.. i dont give a sh*t im afraid, im coming if aint recieved my turbo by then. sod the police, will even take my turbo off to beat the sh*t out of him with. am actually screwing, i just got that he lived in isle of weight.

Steve if your hoping that im a pussy, well any of us are pussys then bring it on because making me happy thinking of your head under my right foot.

If items do show up then will apologise more than enough... so think were all hoping they do show, including you steve.

Had this as well with ktm525racing i got some clocks with fitted knock link from him that i was told was all good and ready to go.It did not work had to do a total rewire(including cut tracks on the board) to get the knock link to work.Fitted the clocks and they did not work as well no speedo/clock.I had already had to fit my glass front as the one from ktm had cracked glass with black overspray.It's all fitted in my clocks now and working fine.Glad i worked in electronics for years so could fix it if not it would of been fit for the bin.I did pm him with the above but never had an answer :(

This is not the first time i have been had on here.

well now its £700 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
