TopgunTT Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi guys, I recently bought an item of a member on here. They said in the thread that they were going to leave the country in 2 weeks. This was posted on the 10th April, So obviously the 2 weeks passed on the 24th April, So they would of been out of the country 3 days ago ( Sunday ). I deposited the money via bank transfer on the Friday 15th April and they said it would be posted the next day. The following week i had a few excuses via text why it hadn't been posted yet. Anyway it still isn't here, They haven't logged on since they have received payment, And now the phone just goes straight to answer phone for the last few days, No delivery reports either so the phone isn't even being switched on? Am i being over concerned because of the bank holidays and they might have posted it and it has just been delayed? The member has been a member since 2005, I am just getting worried now as all contact seems to be lost and i have no item and they should be out of the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Fingers crossed it's because of the bank holidays slowing down the post, as being a long term serving member you'd hope they are a bit more trustworthy. Was it a lot of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a lot of money? It was less than £200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamaSupra Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hold out to maybe Monday, then open a dispute thread if nothing has arrived and there's been no contact. As anything just under £200 is a lot of money to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'd give it until maybe the end of next week then try and find someone on here that knows him and maybe get them to contact him about what's going on. There seem to be a number of unreliable people on here when it comes to selling parts. Seems strange to advertise something for sale on here if you're going to mess the buyer around and p*ss people off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 It just worries me that all contact is lost now? I paid the money direct to his bank because they had been a long standing member on here. However his 2 remaining weeks left in the country have passed.

I hate to say it but it sounds like hes no longer in the uk I have to agree that is why i posted this up, They were from Scotland so it's not like i can pop up to see if they are still around.

TopgunTT Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I just find it hard to believe that a fellow member would want to steal from another member? Maybe i am just jumping the gun, I hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes, I would be very concerned. Maybe stating their name might jog someone's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Yes, I would be very concerned. Maybe stating their name might jog someone's memory. It was the member Gruggs, I have looked at his feedback on here and it is 100% even though he hasn't sold anything for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopgunTT Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Does anyone know Gruggs personally? After 6 years of being a member i would of thought someone would know him? Would it be worth reporting this to the police? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 After 6 years of being a member i would of thought someone would know him? Would it be worth reporting this to the police? I'd wait to see if someone here can do something first before going to the police in case something's happened to him and he can't get in touch with you.

TopgunTT Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 I have had no choice but to open a dispute due to all contact being lost, And another member has sent me a pm who are also waiting for items to arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Still around then Shaf! Still got that tasty Black RX? OP would the police do anything tho? what about small claims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 would the police do anything tho? what about small claims? I don't know what the police will do, I have to at least inform them them that he has stolen from me. I t would be expensive for small claims to track him down in another country now.
