Name and shame!! - joelgttdi
« on: May 12, 2014, 12:22:41 pm »
Be warned if dealing with this guy, he recently purchased some Edition30 mats from me and agreed to pay the price via PayPal AND cover fees, he failed to cover fees but said he would send.

Having already packaged the mats I said I would check postage cost and if was £8 or less then would waive the shortfall, however due to size the cost was £11.99 so asked Joel to send the remaining £1.90 as agreed.......over a week later complete radio silence  :fighting:

I sent the mats anyway as I didn't want to have to go back to the post office....clearly my error of judgement with this chap!!

I'm not going to worry about £1.90 but just leaves a sour taste when dealing with idiots like this that you take some trust in having bothered to register on the forum and thinking they are like minded honest people.

Have to say all others I have dealt with on the forum have been top notch honest people.

Who knows, maybe he will send eventually but felt angry enough after sending numerous e-mail reminders and out of courtesy to check the mats had arrived safely with no courtesy of a reply......he's probably too busy enjoying the £1.90 at Primark  :laugh:

hahahaha


I had a similar thing happen with me on a bike forum, just the principle isnt it?

The lad started to insist that I should be paying the fees, to which I said "no, you want to be protected by paypal, not me"

so in the end I just sent him the money back and 2 days later some nice bloke bought it off me for exactly what I wanted, no hassle, no twisting about £1.50 worth of fees lol

The forum needs a "Name and Shame" area.

We have the recommendations area, could we have the opposite of this?  :happy2:

As said, not that bothered about the odd quid, just the principal when you're dealing with a fellow forum member.

Communication was good up until the point of agreeing the sale so had no issue to doubt their integrity at the time and as I was already at the post office and he had agreed he would send the shortfall I decided just to send.

No biggie, just wanted to share in case they start to mess others around.....take it as you please  :wink:

Yeah, its a shame, you kind of assume everyone on here are like minded cool people. Its a shame there are a few that spoil it for the rest.

Thing is in reality people are laying huge amounts of trust in people that they've never met and know only by a username on an internet forum, people seem to believe that just because they're a "member" of a forum or club makes them a decent person, it sh*t but you just have to look at the world we live in, you cannot trust anyone and should always take every precaution possible, £1.90 or £190 its all still money and the principle is the same.
I was very lucky on here a while ago after selling some blinds, got the feeling to situation was going to get messy but didnt but it has left me very wary of buying or selling on here.

I  must admit that a person from this forum gets a greater amount of trust than other persons get, i have over the 6 years i have been a member dealt with numerous persons here, and with one exception all have been worthy of my trust, this forum is in my opinion above and beyond the general standard og the Internet and IRL.
So hats of to all the good guys and girls here, keep up the good work and let's try and keep the spoiled apples out of here  :notworthy:

Over the top mod list ;o)

i also got ripped off on here, not long after joining, and like already mentioned for some reason i felt like it was a safer place to deal with regards to trust and integrity, i was also wrong and it cost me, but again apart from this member that i still see selling on here quite regular, i've had good dealings. maybe the named and shamed would like to come forward and pay his dues, and donate a small something for the trouble too.

We will not be having a naming and shaming section. without spending a lot of time getting involved we as admin will never know the facts. and to be fair i could make up a story about richard selling me a climate control panel and it being broken when in actual fact it works really well. point being it's always going to be one sided.

we are already actively banning people from the classified sections and in two occasions, the whole site due to their conduct on the for sale boards.

we have guidelines in the sticky thread that has all of the for sale rules. if you follow the guidelines then you should be fine. certain common-sense things tend to go without saying... not posting the item until the money has been received, for example.

if you want to post up buyer beware information then of course you can do this yourself, we would monitor to stop witchhunts, but we won't be maintaining a list ourselves. usernames change etc it's too much effort.

it's not nice when people get scammed whether it's £1 or £1000 . we try to help minimise the risk by providing information designed to help mitigate the risk.

if you feel unsafe then obviously either do cash on collection/delviery, only send items once payment has been received or find another method of payment.
