Getrag Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 For the second time now a person-to-person buy off this forum has gone sour. Ranging from medium to large amounts of money I have been lied and bull-shitted to by a couple of members on this forum while they stall and delay instead of reaching down their pants, realising they have bollocks and just being honest men about it. When you have somebody's money, its a different matter. I have only ever had quick, professional service from the registered traders. I say, we have a separate section of private buys in progress. Where we state what we are buying and whom we are buying it from and comment how quickly or otherwise it gets delivered. You'll notice I have been mature about it and not named any names, while still trying to sort it privately. Thanks for reading and sorry for the rant, just needed to get it off my chest.

Getrag Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 They will be getting rated appropriately if this isnt resolved this, the 3rd week, and several hundred pounds down. Not to mention further action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Used the ITrader to rate them then? :iagree:That is what it is there for. the bad as well as the good.

Getrag Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Lol nah, none of you guys. I've had a few sales of my own things on here and the item is always posted the very next morning. You would think on this forum everyone would be looking out for each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Definitely use the ITrader to rate them ? You would think on this forum everyone would be looking out for each other. You would think so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 thats what I-trader is there for, it should be used for any transactions you have with people so you can see what sort of history that person may or may not have. It was introduced after many discussions about how nobody knew if a trader was reliable, since its introduction I dont think its been used as much as it could.

wkdtime Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Name and shame, its not imature, its the best course of action as other members will want to think twice before dealing with such induviduals in the futures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 To be honest, I'd rather have my money/product back. If not, everyone and his wife/lawyer will know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Agreed - I've traded a couple of items (as the buyer) and have left a few feedback notes - none received in return though. I'd like to see a "Request feedback" button in itrader, so you can prompt your trading partners to feedback to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Just start a new thread titled ""XXXX where is the NNN I paid you ££££ for?..." That should be enough........... And keep bumping it until they reply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see a "Request feedback" button in itrader, so you can prompt your trading partners to feedback to you. All the time i have traded privately on this forum, once the transaction is over i leave feedback and then request for feedback from the buyer.

I'd like to see a "Request feedback" button in itrader, so you can prompt your trading partners to feedback to you. I seem to think it tells you via PM that somebody has left feedback for you which should be a reminder in itself. Its a bit like ebay, some people just dont give feedback and some do everything they can to do feedback. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The only thing is when I decided to leave negative feedback, I got slated for it and then I got it back ! so it doesnt always work just makes it worse at times !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Comunication is the key, being kept informed (not bullshited) goes a long way to resolving problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Still nothing Hamish? The person in question did reply to me by PM and insisted said items were en route to you and your refund had been sent but couldn't happen over the weekend or monday since it was a bank holiday. I've asked them to keep me informed! If said person (you know who you are) is reading this - I suggest you get your act together and are not indeed lying to fellow club members and moderators! On a happier note - will you be at the Perth meet on Sunday Hamish? Cheers, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
