Bought a towbar for my hawkeye from the scoobynet classifieds, and after taking delivery of it I noticed I was missing the two side pieces that connect to the chassis. Tried contacting the seller via his e-mail address and also private messages through Scoobynet, but I cannot get a response after three weeks. I've only asked if he still has the missing parts or if they are still fitted to his car.

Any suggestions of what I can do whether by another way of getting the seller to communicate with me, or if I can get the missing parts elsewhere.

Cheers,
Andy

Have you looked to see when the seller was last on SN?

Click on their usename and view profile. It's under statistics.

Yeah I've checked and unfortunately the date he last logged on to Scoobynet was the day after I sent my private message!

I've checked the activity of kent-scooby and still no forum activity since the day after receiving my private messages. Starting to think I've wasted £50 on a towbar I can't fit to my car. I've got the chap's name and have tried googling it to try and contact him by other means than the e-mail address but without success.

Does anyone have a witter towbar fitted to a newage that I could possibly take a pattern of the parts I'm missing so I can get some fabricated?

Cheers,
Andy

Have you tried to email him rather than private message? Some people allow you to send them an email. Good luck.

115 Jeff. Been on here a few months, from my exhaustive detective work. Buying on here is such a trial now. Next question; pay by paypal gift?

Staffs1234

Unfortunately bank transfer, as he said had no paypal account

So now you decide how much effort you want to put into getting the money back ..

Pretty much given up buying anything on here now- too many occurances and just recently been left out of pocket myself on a part that never arrived.

The place is a shambles with too many spoiling what should be a great place to trade parts.

I've been lucky, no issues up to now but my heart goes out to all those, like the Spanish feller who bought scrap Tein coilovers for pristine money. I can only imagine how exasperating it is to try and get your money back.
