anyone any advice - i bought a PAS setup for a 325 and sent £70 straight away via paypal. Seller has not sent goods yet. last communication was on aug4th when i was told they would be sent to me the next day. have tried PM several times but no reposnse. had a response last week saying "really sorry but having interent access problems. will get stuff to you asap". I am not buying this - we all know someone witha PC or have one at work or can go to an internet cafe. if i had some goods to send and i had recieved money i would go out of my way to find a PC and get the details and send the goods. anyway he had my address weeks ago.

any advice out there ?? this is not the way is supposed to be on the zone !
any of the admin team reading this PM me and i will tell you the culprit - you can then advise if there have been problems before. thanks

Mate, this is unacceptable and you should name and shame them 100%

This happens far too often on here these days.

Agree with Ben, when i first joined the site it was unheard of that somone got scammed through the site, seems to be happening far too often these days. This is no way a dig at the mod team as it is out of ther hands, but its getting concerning when buying. :?

**Edit -- Name and shame Dude, dont let someone else get stung

JCB, please PM me with the name & dates of your transaction, I'll make sure we look into it for you, but you must appreciate any dealings between buyers / sellers are done at your own risk... not trying to cop out, but the zone team can't track every purchase!

People giving the zone a bad name will be dealt with :boom:

Naming and shaming is a proven technique for getting what you want, plus it helps other people, both buyers and honest sellers.

Plus nosey people like me want to know who the loser is!!
