WARNING!!! Lee_coupe

Definately a Bad experience I am afraid
Used every excuse in the book since the middle of june,
Promised to send me the funds various ways, then promises to return them as he cant afford them anymore, then does a bunk!
I have no money and no side skirts as I was daft enough to send before payment (done this plenty of times with decent zoners)
PM me for details if you wish
Lee, if you feel I am being in anyway unfair, you know my name, number, address, email, get in touch!

Yeah hes quite new 100 or so posts, mainly from selling bits or adding "nice car" to every thread in the photo gallery. (so a 50 post requirement for buying/selling wouldnt work)

Nope not sorted, hence the warning, he is posting an awful lot on parts for sale and wanted.
I sent skirts in good faith about a month or more ago.

If I were you where ever he posts something, post after saying hes not to be trusted

Childish I know but will jeopardise any of his sales/buys

Childish.... possibly.... A great excuse to Post whore... definately!!
I have considered it, I dont want other people stung, but I don't know if I should interfere

I think you adding to his posts is valid, all part of the community atmosphere we have on this site, I wouldn't say it's your duty, but not far off. I would hate to be ripped off by thisguy to later find out that another forum user knew he was a toe-ragg all along.

RANT START -
Sorry but this guy is a complete twat. I dont normally get involved in disputes between people i dont know but this guy really does deserve slating.
Blatently ripping off another member is bang out of order in my book. Not only that but he still has the nerve to post here and even try to buy other stuff!
It goes without saying he should be banned but IMO thats not enough. I like the idea of posting in every thread he participates in.
Post his address and number on here and let people decide what he deserves for themselves!
END OF RANT!

I am reluctant to give his details out as he has mine but Anyone else live in Plymouth PL1 area??
he is obviously reading this (he is online now i think) i cant fathom why he would not send payment or reply on this thread at least!!

Trade with who you know is reptutable.
It can be a minefield.
However, I have only had one dodgy dealing on the Zone, generally things are good.
If you dont know the seller or the sellers reputation then YOU are taking the risk.
Its a shame but its a fact of life that some peeps are rip off or con merchants, so beware and remember its your gamble.
Stick to known Zoners and you wont go wrong.
Sorry to hear your story Dobbie - theres not a lot we can do but trust me we have our eye on Lee Coupe and also have his IP addie in case he changes his ID.

BTW - that turd he bought on ebay, was from his brother, or himself or something like that, he uses the pauldeacs username too, can't remember if they are the same person or whether this clown just uses both accounts.
Either way -

I can understand your reluctance - i would be the same but the fact is you have done nothing wrong and this guy deserves whatever he gets.
Like Daz says, this kind of thing is happening too often now and it needs to be stopped.
Post count wont work and will dramatically reduce the number of parts avaliable from honest members.
The only solution i can see is to have a 3rd party on every transaction thats not done face to face involving a new or 'untrusted' member. If money and goods were sent to an indipendent party this kind of thing would stop 100%
Its easy to tell a trusted, regular seller from their feedback and obviously this system would only be on a volentry basis.
OK, it would cost more in postage but IMO its a small price to pay for peace of mind!
Just an idea and my 2p

What are you rolling your eyes for?

This guy should still get banned, he tried it on, probably will again.

I used to share the same flat with him, And we both were on the zone at different time's and sometimes forgot to logout/in etc.
If you check Im now living elsewhere and the I.P's are different

Obviously not the case.

No he arranged a swap outside ebay, and asked me to win it and then not let the transaction go through to avoid ebay fees, He couldnt remove it for some reason (unsure)
And HartgeH27
Dobbie has replyed (above) stating Ive been in contact.
P.M Her yourself to find out.

Well thats fair enough, can't really argue, as I don't know any facts. But the point remains.... you, trying to steal from a zoner.... pretty shit really to be honest.
