MattSoanes Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I paid £57 for 2 last Monday and they were supposed to be here Wednesday. I needed them for shooting Saturday and I told him this on several emails but I may as well of talked to my wheelie bin. He is very reluctant to reply to emails or pms for some strange reason. And I know he instantly receives them on his iPhone. If he would of just said sorry they will be with you on such and such day it wouldn't be so bad. I've asked him for the contact number and a consignment number for the courier so I could chase them up myself ,and he has failed to provide either. I could of payed virtually the same from the auction site, and would of had them by the weekend but thought I'd help out a fellow shooter and put a few quid in his back pocket. Claim has now been logged with PayPal so hopefully I will get my money back. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge40 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hi, I was in communication with ####49 about some decoys etc. I got a price off him for the bits and advised him I would let him know once I had looked at other options then a day later he has been removed from PW? Makes you ask yourself why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you ask yourself why! I would imagine amongst other things it was because he was directly competing against the site sponsors. He had a warning which he chose to ignore or similar.

Zapp Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 He had a warning which he chose to ignore or similar. Is the correct answer, among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 This is a free to use forum for people to discuss shooting. Certain businesses and private individuals can, by agreement with the site owner, advertise or promote their businesses or services on a free or paid basis, depending on the scale and type of advertising, as per this line in the house rules: "Anyone with a personal interest in a business, is not permitted to promote, advertise or post links to their business, without seeking the permission of the Site Owner (Teal), this is called "good manners"." This is not, however Ebay without the charges. Therefore, should an individual refuse to take up an advertising package and then continue to arrange sales on the forum outside of the trading post and by contacting members by private message to solicit sales, their account will be restricted/banned, as will any further accounts they create to continue selling.

paul2012 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Its a shame that there are always people on forums looking to make a few quid quickly, I bet he didn't even have the batterys in the first place just found somewhere he could buy them on the cheap if you get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Since ####49 is no longer a member of the forum, and since he will not permitted to sell via PW again, the need to warn members about any poor experiences is fairly limited, and so the thread can now close. If there are any members who have paid for goods but do not have a means of contacting him other than by pm on the forum, please pm us and we can put you in touch.
