Eddy, have you contacted the person who traded this with you?

[eddy59]

it was ok
i had a Penelope here and a lot of other excuses
the last 4 pm's no response from him
so it's down to me have not left feedback yet don't know what to do

perps if this is in the wrong place please move i will start a new wanted thread
thanks eddie

[blakey]

If you've given him every chance to deal with the problem then I would say that's what the feedback is for mate
Give any other poor bugga some idea of the person they are dealing with and they can choose whether to risk it or not.

But ONLY if he's been given every chance to correct the problem first

If he isn't answering your PM's, the only thing you can really do is leave bad feedback. At least it will act as a warning to others.

It may even prompt him to sort it for you.

Was it someone from the UK?

[Greigster]

Perhaps a Paypal dispute could chivvy him in the right direction.
How sad that a fellow member can rip off another, fortunately it does not happen very often.
I always think that both here and UKV, we have a very unusual group of people who would rather give than take, so when one member does the dirty on another, it leaves a nasty taste.
What a shame

Seems to be getting worse. There have been a few reports of people being ripped off in trades lately.

Paypal can only help if there was money exchanged as well. In a trade, it is just down to trust on both sides.

[Greigster]

Soz, I missed the "trade" in the OP.

Then bad feedback needs to be considered.

It's a while since I messed with a penny and can't remember what the inside of the bottom cap looks like. I have a bare dripper here that might be a short term solution.

Tricky one Eddie, as this is now about a deal that didn't take place on our forum, although it serves as a warning to all of us who purchase an item from any Classified forum's Board.

My advice to you would be exactly what Blakey and the other gents have suggested.

I think it would be best if you started a new Wanted ad and then I'll move this one to the Completed . . . unless you'd like the technical discussion to continue elsewhere?
