mattysupra Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 its starting to really annoy me know ! There is a few items i have PM'ed about that are 'for sale', but the sellers dont return my PM's. Why put something up for sale and then not reply to a potential buyer ? Sorry for my little Rant but it really is peeing me off waiting for a reply days on end. Anyone else have this issue on here?

Josh Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 It is really annoying. I know some people can't get on here as much as others (), but if you're putting something up for sale, make an effort and keep an eye on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 not a PM to Carpo by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think instead of PMs being sent we should all have to post in the for sale thread. That way you know where you stand & if anyone has posted before you. What i hate is when you think you are first & are visualising your new part on your car when boom "sorry mate jessie james sent me a PM about 13 seconds before you wrote this" Grrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 A few of the members interested in my car said exactly the same thing, a second hand part at £10 is one thing but you'd be stupid to miss out on a genuine buyer if you're serious about selling your car.

mattysupra Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 I now have 4 people im waiting for replies off. What really pee's me off is that i can see they have been online after i have sent a Pm. Maybe the parts are sold? Will people please have the decency to close their for sale thread or reply to their PM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been there and done that, some members are very strange how they ignore their own sales threads then post up sold weeks after you posted in their thread. Its even more fun when you actually buy something and its nothing like it was described as when it turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I must admit I am guilty of not replying in time to PM's due to a busy work schedule, hence why I ask people to contact me via phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 It happenned to me aswell posted in the thread twice and got ignored both times. The seller answered other peoples questions except mine. Bloody annoying some people are just tools mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The system is systematically abused by many. Sellers regularly withhold feedback until the buyer (who upon payment had completed their contract) has received the item and given good rep. This seller activity is a threat to the buyer who consequently, can't give bad rep for bad experiences because would most likely receive bad rep in return! Sellers withholding rep should automatically be flagged up, likewise those who receive rep but not return it and it should not be possible for a seller to give bad rep to a paying buyer. As within all communities, 'there are ways and means', but what's that all about? It is a valuable resource and I buy and sell lots of Supra treasures on here and most have been a positive experience. I believe 'playing the game' helps promotes a club culture, and not to is an opportunity sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
