If I was a trader on this site, looking to screw my reputation this is exactly the course of action I'd take.

Conveniently all of his contact details are on his website, so you know exactly where to send the summons etc to.

If you have no comms with him then that's your only option, really.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Personally from the point he sent you an email telling you to f**k off says it all,I would be knocking  his door very hard its easy to ignore you and tell you to f**k off but when your face to face its a different ball game.Alot of the time these types of people or companys call your bluff and try there luck and in some cases it works as some people dont know really what to do.Its clear to see he has no intention of giving you your money back so why waste time with small claims court which still dont guarantee  you will get your money back or how long it will take.Take your son and some lads with you if you can and land there see what he has to say then take the head with you and dont let him know your coming I just think the longer you leave it the less chance you will see your money mate if he still dont want to refund you well I know what I would do but maybe then try the claims court best of luck mate.

No well see i dont have the receipt, i have mesages i sent him asking for one to be sent and he didnt send it, i have the original advert, i have emails asking for the head, and texts confirming payment, i paid via bank transfer, so have proof of that too,   to be honest, hes in business its not a huge amount of money to him, but it is to me, why cant he just do the right thing and give me a refund, ive been perfectly honest and helpful with him, paying straight away etc etc, and hes sold me something that really no better than the scrap head i had previously,

i wouldnt normally do this and write about it, but after he sent me that emai i was enraged, and felt you huys should know whats happend 

thankyou for your help and advice, proves there are good people out there!

I bought some pollybushed lower arms off this chap and they were knackered too !
However he did eventually give me my money back albeit minus what it cost him in delivery  :angry:
Seemed like a genuine bloke and with the amount of trade he does on here I was expecting better.

Can't figure him out really as he must do well out of this and other forums so can't get why he's sending out parts that arent fit for use ?

Anyway I hope you get your money back matey either through a refund or as others have suggested through small claims or a visit :)

yeh thats what i cant understand, to be honest if he had done a refund, then i would have thought ok fair enough atleast hes true to his word!    its such a long way to york this is the problem,  but im not giving up until he gives me a refund!,  small claims court itll be, ive emailed him saying that i want this refunded or else,  ive even said ill pay the carriage!

ADMIN NEED TO TAKE SOME COURSE OF ACTION!!! THIS IS NOT ON. admin know there ip address and can trace them. (ok not that simple) but you get my drift! there are innocent people out there getting bummed over. & WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU NEED TO PAY FOR CARRIAGE CHARGES??? he advertised something with false details and now your going to pay to take his sh!t back to him? F*ck that!
