jammo Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 I really hate to do this sort of thing But does anyone know the user mRd? I bought his carbon trims that were put up a couple of weeks back in the for sale section. Very quick to respond etc and I sent him money via bank transfer. Left if a few days as it was the weekend and asked for a tracking number and he said he would give it to me the following day and I've heard nothing since.... i know he is a subscriber and been a member for a while so ive no doubt he is genuine but its been over and week and a half now and all i want is a update even if he has some personal issues at the moment!

jammo Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Looks like he buggered off out the country.....cheers pal. Anyone know if banks cover bank transfers? Generally thought I could trust a fellow member on the zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Ouch That's not on. I thought bank transfers have no protection, unless it's a credit card? (Not even sure you can transfer from a credit card though?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammo Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thought as much. It's only £35 so I can just use it as a lesson learned but I spotted in his other post he was leaving the country so looks like he wanted some quick cash. Just more of a inconvenience really as I had modding plans lol Always use PayPal when possible!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEVIL 666 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Good lesson , I never use bank transfer only paypal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay. Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 That's a shame, they're probably my trims as well, I swapped my carbon cube for his brushed Ali trim, had a look for his number but changed my phone sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerFish Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 And even with PayPal, only service payments are protected - friends and family are as vulnerable as bank transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3NXN Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Didn't the law change recently to make bank transfers reversible? It was all over the news before Christmas. For the cost of the call it could be worth asking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammo Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thing is, I have to prove to the bank that I didn't receive them, which I can't! I always use PayPal usually and only as merchant services so that I'm protected but I honestly thought I'd be safe on here which is a bit naive of me! Yes jay he did actually say they were yours.

Tewkes Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Absolute c**t. Hate robbers. I think this forum is too slack on the sale section. Everyone asks for a bank transfer. I think it should be paypal or cash on collection only if things are sold here, just to protect us. What do you lot think?

Trevor Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 It does make you think. I've bought from several people on here, dealt with Cannock wolf on 3 separate occasions. Had no issues at all. Bad luck for the op for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B0B Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 PayPal gift crops up regular. Yes that's true enough. I have always asked for cash on collection or added a couple of % on for paypal to cover fees (I would never ask for it gifted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee330Ci Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) Paypal is fine but even in these times not everyone has PP and payment on collection is not always possible. Just to add, I've dealt with a few members here and have been ok with transactions, it's a shame one or two twats ruin what forum love should be.

Tewkes Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I've read a lot of threads with bank transfers or extra cash for paypal. That's absolutely shocking in itself adding money on top of a sale to cover paypal fees. The whole point of the system is to be safe either end of the transaction. Adding fees on I think is s cheek.

Jay. Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I sometimes ask for PayPal gift on stuff, but seeing by my feedback thread I'm quite trustworthy! But I guess it shouldn't be one rule for one & one for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammo Posted March 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 (edited) As far as I'm concerned anyone that's subscribed on here genuinely cares enough about the zone and the members on here otherwise you wouldn't bother. I let it slide for a week incase he was having issues in which case a simple pm saying they would be delayed etc would suffice. either that or your all just thieving b*****ds Edited March 29, 2015 by jammo The_Judge_ and Jay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk We will have to disagree on this one. I prefer to sell my stuff without posting it out, cash on collection. I will normally post stuff out and If PayPal is being used I don't expect to be gifted the money and I understand it provides buyer protection...........but I ain't the buyer and I ain't covering any fees for using PayPal. I don't see why it's a cheek for you to pay for your own protection? I think it's more of a cheek that you expect someone to lose money or discount the item through fees because you want to use PayPal.
