Trying to track down seller

green room

Hello

Could anyone please help me tracking down the user SCOTT325SE?

http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=413993

He has sold me a seatpost on the for sale forums and has had my money for 41 days and has been ignoring my pm since the 13th of May.

See the link to the feedback page for more info if you want.

If anybody knows him perhaps they could give him a little poke for me? Or does anyone know where he works or has his phone number please?

I'm a bit fed up because it's only the second time I've bought on here.

Cheers

I know it doesn't help, but for others, check the feedback threads before you buy (his is not what I would want to see) and use Paypal (not gift)

Yeah you're totally right. I didn't read it all, my mistake.

Couldn't recommend buying from this guy although others seem to have had success which is weird.

Anybody else know him?

PM someone who has sold something to him, they will no doubt have a name and address for you to send your letter before claim to.

Thanks diy that's a fantastic idea.

I have now banned the guy. His feedback record is poor.

I have his email address if you need it.

Pity the banstick isn't a baseball bat.

On a related thought paypal gift is an abuse of the ts and cs of paypal. It should be a consideration within the rules of BR - classifieds that paypal gift is a no no, as per an advert without a picture. At the end of the day if you are selling via bike radar you are already saving ebay fees, so should factor payment fees in to shipping costs. The fees have to be paid and transacting as a gift just means the payment cannot be protected.

if the buyer offers pp - gift to save money then fine its their risk., but stuff should not be advertised as PP gift as if it is the defacto method of making payment.
