(rereading my last post, it looks like I'm saying your suggestion isn't a good one. It is, and it is appreciated. We just feel that this on its own is not enough.)
No, but as I have said before, a post count higher I.E. 100 wouldn't go amiss.Gortour wrote:would you be a guaranteed person to deal with just because you don't have a post count of 3?
don't take this the wrong way rav but just because some who doesn't have a post count of 100+ does not mean they are going to rip you off.Rav335uk wrote:Sorry, but this goes back to having X amount of posts(As other forums) to being able to sell on here.Gortour wrote:The Moderating team has been trying to contact stevetaylor to get this resolved, but are in the same position as the purchasers. We keep being promised he will be resolving the issues, but nothing forthcoming.
This undoubtedly makes the Zone look bad with the current proceedings, and we are looking seriously into what we can do to help. However, the Zone is only a forum at the end of the day, we get paid by people for the 'privilege' of being allowed to sell to a dedicated E30 audience.
We have no real background on these people, and - I hope - most, on the whole, do a good and honest service to you, our clients. Unfortunately a few seem to sign up, pay their traders fees to make them look more legitimate, and then proceed to let people down.
The moderating team will do what they can, but please understand, a "paid up trader" sign is not an indication that this person is honest, just that they've paid to sell on here.
I think the mods need to look into this seriously.
I know that I would be going down that route.
Keeps the scammers out!
no worriesGortour wrote:Thank you Steve.
As said, any suggestions welcome and will be considered seriously.

He did not send me anything but the \"fixing kit\".
PERIOD.
He canceled the ebay purchase of the Diff as I was trying to prevent others from the same fate as me. I bought a diff in Canada for $300 CDN, why would I send all that money for one from the UK.
HE is making excuses. I have no parts, I want no parts from him.
All I want is my refund for 650 pounds!

Point taken, but the signing on date could help toosteve_k wrote:lets be totaly honest, all this talk of checking a sellers backgroung, sending in proof of ID (it's a forum FFS not a job application) et al in a way will never work.
case in point, newbie buy's e30 but runs out of funds & needs to sell it on quickly, so he/she signs up for a one month traders account to sell it, BUT they only have a post count of under 100 despite the fact they've been on here for a good few years, so do you trust them? even so the part/car they are selling is the one you've been searching for for ages? do you take that chance?
of coarse (sp?) you do.
it's only the same as buying out the paper, so would folk on here like to see things go back to the old exchange & mart days?
like i said earlier just wait & let the team decide whats best as they (should) know what they are doing.
i see your point & where you are comming from but at the end of the day it was allways going to happen sooner or later no matter how trustworthy someone is.Rav335uk wrote:I don't want this post to get out of hand, but as I do have contact with alot of Mods, I can see it from your point of view too, but as an active menber, I would like to see this place turn back to it's origionation, i.e, 5/6 yrs ago where people on her were trustworthy.
We have a lot of newbies on here, an also a lot of bad views on other forums too.
Not good at all.
I think most sellers on here are "Old Skool" and are know to be so.
