Grundy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Woh what a scum bag! Feel sorry for you mate! Looking back through his pictures now...they seem very well strategically taken...especially with the username over the corner... Gutted for you mate...Any reason for using gift on paypal? never understood that. always used it as Friend/Family. Quote
kingrob Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Sorry i meant friend/family but you can't do a charge back on that unless it was a unauthorized and it was not Lesson from now on i will pay as goods and cover the fee they get charged myself it would of cost me 20 pound instead of 450 Edited May 1, 2015 by kingrob 1 Quote
rav525 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Sorry to hear that bud, thanks for sharing it with everyone. It will help out others in the long run. Top guy . If someone sends you a money request, is that still unauthorized? Quote
Will370z Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Just to update and warn other members here i bought this bonnet and it was shipped to me but when i got it it had damage to 4 areas 2 of these could be blamed on the shipping company but the other 2 were there when it was put up for sale and not noted i have talked to the seller he first offered to come to my house to fix the item and make a claim with the courier the claim was rejected and since that date i have heard nothing from the seller i was stupid and sent the money as a gift so i have no come back. last contact i had with the seller was the 22nd of april so i think i have been fair and waited before posting this i have been quoted 150 to 300 pound to have the bonnet fixed so in all it will cost me more then a new one !! You notice in sellers pictures corners are always hidden But the courier could of caused this but there was no broken parts in the box http://prntscr.com/6tkgov http://prntscr.com/6tkgxo http://prntscr.com/6tkh1z http://prntscr.com/6tkh4w this damage can be seen in pics of seller if you zoom in and look hard http://prntscr.com/6tkjx7 http://prntscr.com/6tkk2d In short even if your buying from here never send money as a gift it is not worth the risk you could get burnt hard regards Thanks for the information rob, team will investigate and we will keep you posted 2 Quote
SteveW Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 That is disgusting, some people have no scruples! The whole forum is built on trust and respect. Maggots who abuse the trust of others and blatantly misrepresent an item for sale are despicable. 1 Quote
chirag1988 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 That's not cool at all. Forum member sales are the last you expect to be scammed on! Quote
kingrob Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Still holding hope he will come though so trying not to judge but after 3 weeks I decided to post another member who saw the bonnet at my house said I was silly yo leave it as long but I try to trust people Quote
Chris Wiltshire Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Not good, in the description it says he prefers collection, surely if it was damaged the seller wouldn't want someone to collect it due to the damage being seen? Was the packaging damaged? Hope it gets sorted soon! Quote
kingrob Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Hi Chris I agree with you on the damage to the corners but if you check the damage to drivers side your just see it in his pictures to just not in focus but zoom in your see it Quote
ZEUS Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Isn't the drivers side the side which got smacked when he wrote the car off? Quote
jumping350 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 really sorry to see this buddy, I hope it does get sorted for you, maybe email him on the paypal address you paid to?? Quote
simon da silva Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Guess thats one way to sponsor that Formula car he has parked in his Garage Quote
gumpy000 Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I was so close to buying this n I also would have been gutted and absolutely fuming. I just don't get it tho. If he knew it was damaged, I feel he would have let it just go. I literally just asked for a little more than free delivery and he said no. Would my thinking be right and he just wanted to get rid in that condition as NO ONE would have bought if they collected surely?? Quote
kingrob Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 If you check his own pictures your see the damage to the drivers side near headlight area only once you see my close ups and compair is it clear. I hold no ill feelings to the guy and hope he does reply to my email. But I posted here after waiting 3 weeks just to get input and warn others. As I said the corners I can't say were like that only the side damage was there before the item was posted thar I can say for 100% Quote
CJRamze Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I nearly bought this. Sorry to hear it ended up with you in this condition. Its always a shame when something like this happens. Quote
STYLZ Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Now this has made me a bit para, I'm about to buy a front bumper on here from a member and was also gonna send payment as gift through paypal. Quote
mouthwash Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Stylz, I know who you're going to buy a front bumper off of and he is the worlds dodgiest guy, I can never hit him when I throw stuff at him. However he won't mess you about with that bumper so have no fear. 1 Quote

If you are talking about who I think you're talking about ( and you will know cos you're an ace detective) then there will be absolutely no problem at all. Quote
