Name and Shame

Fri Jul 10, 2009 3:02 pm

i might just give him a couple of days, im gonna send him another mesg......and take it from there..

i just was wondering if i can do anything about it?

Fri Jul 10, 2009 3:09 pm

Depend how long ago... you should give it a week or two, they might just be busy/away.

You've got 40 days or something to complain to paypal, in which case i'd be surprised if you didn't get your money back.

Has the message been read?

Fri Jul 10, 2009 3:41 pm

60 days to file a dispute IIRC, give it a week, the member might just be busy

Fri Jul 10, 2009 5:00 pm

Did you send the payment as a gift or as goods? If you sent it as goods then you'll be able to get a refund.

Fri Jul 10, 2009 5:02 pm

how longs it been since you paid?

Fri Jul 10, 2009 5:03 pm

give him a few days, if he does not get back to you then notify paypal andopen a dispute. Hopefully he should get back to you in a few days.

Fri Jul 10, 2009 5:39 pm

nothing to worry about as above open a dispute with paypal they will sought it out

if you have paid via a gift that relives paypal of any responsibilities of sorting out a dispute

Which is why asking people to send money as a gift is the first sign of dodginess in a trader....

Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:07 pm

Why cant you just phone the geezer up instead of sending messages/posting about it on here.

thats not as interesting for us.

personally id avoid dealings with anyone that wanted to do the gift option. thats a cheats charter and a clever ploy by paypal to avoid covering for the shady characters.

Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:20 pm

when ever ive dealed on here ive asked to get the funds to be sent as a gift as people dont want to pay me the extra for paypal charges and why should i pay them

Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:27 pm

maybe im to suspiscious but as a buyer id want the little cover that paypal offers should goods disappear to get my cash back. if your selling your ok as you dont release the goods until the cash has cleared anyway. unfortunately theres many chancers on here willing to exploit the trusting nature of the club 'family'.

If your asked to send the money as a gift and are unsure of somebody's trustworthiness all you have to do is look in the feedback section. I always ask for funds to be sent as a gift, like town said why should I pay for your piece of mind? If you want the extra protection thats fine by me but it comes at a price

Fri Jul 10, 2009 7:54 pm

Does he live in Bedford?

What ^^^^he^^^^said

I always ask for people to pay as a 'gift' as i don't see why i should pay for someone else to use Paypal unless it is an ebay auction etc...

As always there are going to be some dodgy types that take advantage of this system to rip people off but that is what the feedback section is for.

Without knowing how long it has been since the original topic poster sent his money ie days/weeks it is imposible to comment further.

by sending money as a gift you are virtually waving your rights... bolloks to that.. add a little on top to cover the fees if they mean that much to you... either way i send it under goods/whatever it is... even if asked to send as a gift.

i paid as a gift, it was about the end of May.......

the item was only £25....fair enough i know it's not alot of money but it's more to do with the principle of the matter, im sure im not the only one he knocked.

maybe i should just name and shame this dude!!!!

Sat Jul 11, 2009 8:07 am

£25 is £25, it takes the fuel light on your bmw doesnt it???

Sat Jul 11, 2009 8:23 am

Give the guy 2 more days of this being visible the name and shame. You've only started this thread yesterday so give the guy half a chance to see this. Is he on Holiday???

Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:17 pm

So it's been almost 6 weeks...... This is out of order as far as I'm concerned, a week at the very most is all that is needed.

Name and shame......

Sat Jul 11, 2009 12:26 pm

he ain't a registered trader.......

i think il give him a few days then, give him a chance to see this topic..... and hopefully he will send the item

if not then i'l just name and shame him!!!

not sure about paying for items as a gift anymore, but to be honest i really never had a problem before...
I think if its a lot of money then you shouldn't pay as a gift so at least you can be covered by Pay Pal...

Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:22 pm

6 weeks is to long.

Sat Jul 11, 2009 5:19 pm

Has he read your PMs? If so, complain to paypal
