Hi i bought a fuel tank from a chap on ebay from Weston Super Mare, i have the real address but will not disclose on here, however i do have a picture of his car outside his address which he supplied. Does anyone recognise the car? if so could you have a word with him and advise him to refund me... The story is i paid for a tank by bank transfer and he has gone quiet ever since...
He is called Leon
Please help if you can!

P.s i have a certain job where i could proceed with criminal proceedings but would prefer to go the easy way about it...


Thanks

You bought on eBay and paid with bank transfer instead of PayPal? :whistle:

And the things he had on ebay are with a different ebay account.

If you know where he lives, have visited his house, know his name, live locally, and have been wripped off by him, why don't you knock on his door and discuss it with him! You never know, you may even be able to pick it up there and then! :rolleyes:
