ripped off

Why don`t you look at a map, he`s in Swindon?

Lucky Luke

I was going to look when he's dimantaled the bike. Because he only wants me to look at it once he's done that.

steelem

i did recieve payment 200 before 200 after - its the after i have not got yet - but dont forget all i had was a telephone number & ebay account - with sending the wheels back i was able to get his address will all help if this needs to be resolved in court..

can't say I share your optimism.


But let's face it. this guy is not going to come up with the cash. Remind me again why you sent the wheels without having received payment.

Lucky Luke

How come you didn't tell him he wasn't getting his wheels till you ' d got the money back ?

steelem

it wasa take it or leave it - so i took it - we ll see tonight - this could be ripped off 2

Hope not . I mean I hope you get the cash . Are you going to send me a message then so I can come and look at the frame ? Can't come today now cos of the cabin crew. I don't see why theyre even needed on Heathrow - manchester anyway its only an hour anyone can go without a drink for that long. Cheers Luke

i text him last night i said wheres my money i said you sold those wheels so whats the problem - he advised he hasnt sold the wheels yet he tells my mrs ebay account he has - the guys a lying Wxxxxx.

He might be waiting for payment for the wheels. So he won't have actually sold them if he's still waiting for payment but he would obviously tell another ebay member they're sold.

steelem

maybe - but the wheels were sold on sunday last week - so i reckon some one would have payed up by now - i suppose paypal can investigate that - as thats where its going i reckon

And under what circumstances are paypal going to track the payment on the sale of the wheels?
You have an interest in the outcome of the sale but no recourse to ask Paypal to confirm anything about it.

Got to be honest, I hadn't twigged at all but this is actually a wind up.

steelem

this is no wind up at all this is 100% real -
update
i may have a result i was just opening the paypal dispute when i open the dispute up & put details of this seller - i get a number thats a local nottingham number - i have just called in hoping to get the sellers mum after all its her account - & yes result it was her & what a nice lady - i told her what had gone on here & she ll be calling me back in the next few hours..

So you're going to get his mum to tell him off.

Intersesting steelem.

Are you sure this isn't an elaborate wind up?

I don't even care if it is actually, but it is getting a little bit beyond the realms of possibility. And you've made an arrangement to sell the frame to Luke.

Unless.....

If you do the trolls call to arms we can all go down to his mums house.

Nice one Steelem. I'm dead chuffed for you. Lucky his Mum was nice, I wonder why the seller turned out to be as he is with him having a nice mum? Spose you could say the same about Hitler (although I must admit I don't know anything about his mum but you know what I mean.) Don't forget to get in touch when you get the frame sorted out. Cheers.
