Then cancel the cheque as well. If you name and shame, that will warn everyone else not to do business with this deceitfull prick person!

Phone them and say if they haven't got a good explanation, the police will be informed ASAP.

Good luck!

Dont think so from looking at the classifieds its quite easy to see who it is aswell.

FFS - I've just seen this post.  I'm the one selling the item.

Isn't everyone keen to rush to judgement on things before they've seen two sides to anything? 

Coincidentally the item in question is in front of me and will get picked up tomorrow by DHL.  It is well packaged and as described.

Thing is, if someone pays by Paypal I'll pack up and order the shipping for the next day, because I have the money and an address on that day, all together. 

If you send a cheque in the post, don't expect it to move at amazing speed from Glasgow to Bristol, via Royal Mail, don't expect it to be cashed instantly as I have to take it to the bank - it was paid in 13th Feb.  Don't expect the item to get shipped instantly as I won't ship it until the cheque is cleared and I've had time to check my bank account (not something I do every day). 

Also, maybe it would be a good idea to put your address on a bit of paper bigger than two stamps, or it might get lost and I might need to ask for it again.

So yes, it might take a while to get what you buy, especially if at the same time I'm being mucked about on a monumental scale by some c*nt who's sold me a write-off Polo.

So, apologies for not rushing to ship what is a bloody cheap item.  It will get to the buyer by the end of the week.  No one is being messed about, I've just not managed to get something out the door *quite* as quickly as I might normally.

No one's getting ripped off here.  £35 for front and rear Golf3 lights isn't too bad a deal, either.

If seller would reply to his e mails,,,it would help,, and for your other problems,,,that's got nothing to do with me,,,it does  not matter if the item is a penny or a pound all i want is the lights at a good price from a person that's into volkswagens,,,that's why we go on this site to help each other,, i never expected all these problems(over a month) for a set of lights at £35 and £10 post,  I needed the lights for my mot,,,had to buy a set of front lights from elsewhere,,but that's not your problem that's mine,,,,,looking forward to the postman chapping on my door very soon.

Post by: Khare on 12 March 2009, 17:56
DH is top quality bloke, and truly doubt he would rip someone off, as he himself says, its not a 1 or 2 day thing, you have to cash the cheque in, then let it clear, then arrange for the parcel to be collected, then let it get to destination. And like DH said he is being pissed abut by another bloke so he has important things to sort that need sorting.
