Default NAME AND SHAME

I bought a MAF of SCOOBYCRAIG 4 days ago and not had a reply to any of my pm's, BUT now i hear that someone else has paid for the same MAF?

Anyone know this person or had any other problems?

I better get on to paypal and open the dispute

It seems like SN is now full of scammers as this is the 4th time i have been done over and i've had enough!

4th time you have been stitched up and you still come back for more?

Do you not think you may be leaving yourself open to being cheated? Whats wrong with Cash on Delivery these days?

Good luck resolving it

VaVa Voom,

Would using a proper company like Revolution not be better for you?
I use Revolution all the time for my MAF's and any other bit's and bob's for my car.
Never used Ebay once for it and never bought anything off anyone I don't know or off a forum unless they're mates in case of things like this.


Personally I'd rather pay a little more and use a big company and have the item delivered to my door with the knowledge that if anything goes wrong I can easily get in touch with them and they're always on time with their estimates on stock and delivery times.

It might not be like it looks, the guy might have more than 1 MAF for sale

Ok fair do's something may have happened or he is a busy man but not to busy to accept my paypal payment almost instantly then reply within 20mins to say the item would be posted the following morning.

(Should of been posted 2/7/08, Nothing in todays post either)

Alarm bells start ringing when i read the post and see that Va Va Voom has also sent payment and not heard anything from PM's. I sent a PM Friday but no response and also logged a dispute case with Paypal on Sat and no response. If I dont hear too soon im going to escalate a claim.

Its easy to say give someone a chance however when it's your OWN hard earned cash then it becomes a different matter.
