I have his contact number etc and he randomly replies saying been posted etc and will get it the next day but he said didn't get a tracking number from parcel force a load of rubbish really. Gonna pass it to the online fraud departments of the police as he's not going to get away with this.

Hope it's a mistake si and they are coming. But alarms bells would have rang when that is about half the going rate for a full hawk front end.

Tubbytommy if you read the above comment was split between PayPal and his bank account so obviously you are stupid Aswell then for not reading posts properly before you comment.

If got nothing of any relevance to say then please but out your comments are not welcome.

With all due respect, why the hell would you send any money to someones bank when paypal is there. You both obviously have paypal accounts as you sent half via it. The whole point of using PayPal (and paying the fee's) is to offer buyers some form of protection.
The world is full of thieving ******* and this place seems to attract a great deal of them, if you chose to pay for something without using paypals protection system then more fool you.

Oh well that makes all the difference, so at least you can take comfort in the fact your not the only mug.

Sorry mate but this place is littered with threads on the various scammers that have passed through over the years, so don't be too surprised that there is little sympathy.

It's an expensive lesson to learn.

Hope you get your dosh or your parts, but i'll not be holding my breath.

Caveat emptor.

But as stated your not the first or last, an expensive lesson to learn.

The only way you'll get any money back is to go bang on his door. The police won't be interested thats for sure.
Seen it time and time again on here.

If you're prepared to pay for stuff without paying the protection fees then you have to be prepared to get turned over.
