Bloody mugged off on ebay.

[Visitor Q]

Right then, as you know my sump plug got threaded and i needed a replacement.

Trawling the breaking ads on ebay, found this, thought fair enough, i'll sort that out. Got the cost down for £35, had reasonable comms with the guy over the phone.

He recieved the check on the 18th may;

[Visitor Q]

Oh and as a point i know its silly firing cheques off to random people, but i was desperate and he seemed a nice lad, plus for some reason i trust bikers more

This https://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&db=pc&cidr_client=none&lang=&pc=PR253ND&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch=PR25+3ND&addr3=&addr1= is a map of the leyland area he lives in, i dont have his postcode anymore, this is with the postcode of another house in that street (good old google).

Bad timing, I was in Wigan not too long ago. Would have happily paid a visit for you.

Sorry. Best of luck in resolving it!

Ive just managed to get through to him, finally, annoyingly hes as nice as ever and i still cant quite get angry with him. I've asked for the tracking number/receipt etc so i can check with the post office, because i like to give the benefit of the doubt. But at this rate my mate will have done my old one before i get the new one.

Oh dear god how annoying.

Luckily i have a mission or two planned up north in the near future, need to visit a few people. Im sure i can pop by and say hello

Should it not pop up in the next day or two that is. I suppose waiting 7 working days would be fairer. But i need the bike for exams and getting to college etc, so this is a nice spanner in the works.

[MissFickle]

wait till you get and give him a negative feedback?

[MissFickle]

some one should mail him and see if he would be intrested in selling it..see if hes genuine maybe?

[Visitor Q]

[MissFickle]

do you want me to ?

[Visitor Q]

[strag]

That feedback is pretty poor tbh. Registered in Oct 04 and now no longer registered. Sounds like a complete tosser to me. Hope you get the part though I know how long you have been waiting.

He sounds like the kind of tosser that spoils things for every one. I.E only cares about one thing: Himself

Around this time last year my brother bought a GSX600 from ebay, the guy never had paypal so it had to be payed by cheque. Three weeks later no reply, cheque had cleared so me, my brother and an other brother went round to the prick's house. He claimed he was moving house and his phone line was down so no phone or internet.

Next thing he says is the bike is at a frinds house twenty miles away. He says to us i will take my bike and you can follow me. We were in the car so out initial thought's were he is gonna shoot off on his SV650 and while he is away the removals company will clear the house so he is £2450 up and we have no bike and never see him again.

But in fact he was slow enough on the bike for us to keep up, and we got the bike which in my opinion was worth the wait. It was a cracker only 1 y.o no rust or scratches and it was very very cheap. I just wish i was old enough to ride it.

Bonny, i'm about 30 mins from Leyland and i'm happy to have a fly up there for you one evening and see if the dood is in.

If you have an e-mail address for him and a number i can make sure he's in before i go..

[dodsi]

What you gonna do to this cocksucker?

[Visitor Q]

I know the feeling bonny. I just been ripped off by a guy on here rookie_biker.

Payed him 70 quid through paypal for some dvds on the 27th of april. Ask where they were on the 3rd of may and he said
"They went out Saturday via Standard Parcels".
Who sends very nickable dvds out with no insurance? Ok I think, I'll wait and see.

Didn't turn up so I pm'ed him again on the 7th and he said

"Shit, they went out Thursday, I have the receipt. I assume they've been lost in the post then, I'll go to the post office on Monday and get a form to trace them".

Hmm he'd already told me he sent them on saturday? Convenient how he didn't insure them so can't claim for losses.
Asked for a reference number or some such for the lost parcel and got fobbed off with "royal mail are looking into it".

Like you bonny I have more trust for bikers but I'm changing my mind. I'd like to think it was all genuine and it really is lost but:

I payed him 72 quid and he doesn't put on a couple of pounds insurance?
Saying he sent it out saturday then saying thursday (waiting till money clears?).
No reference number?
Said name was george but paypal went through what looks like a company address to a different person? (shoulda clocked this one right away).

Wouldn't advise anyone to buy the other things he's selling on here untill this is resolved at least.

You could track him down using 192.com, I did this with a guy who sold me a fake watch via eBay. Its a long story, but I had it checked out by an authorised jeweller, and even they were satisfied at the time it.

Turned it it broke down over a year later, and the seller started getting arsey about it saying it was old now, and prove he sold me it etc, and that he would give me a goodwill payment back. I was livid and he shit himself when I did a bit of digging and started calling him at home and at work demanding he refund me all the money in full. I got my money in the end

So a little gentle persuasion can go a long way

[Robby]

So this person said he had a bike breaking and invited people to contact him for parts enquiries?

And you fell for it. Oldest trick in the book.

If its not a proper ebay transaction, ebay don't care.

Your money is gone. The baby is likely a fabrication. The only way I'd expect to get anything is by paying a visit.
