theLEGENDofBURT Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I sold this on ebay 2months ago a case was opened and went in buyers favor due to being on holiday. Anyway I was waiting 2 weeks for return by then ebay automatically refunded and finally today after a month I got my buggy back. Or so I thought. Opened up parcel to my amazement no buggy just 2 beaten up old broken txs. Ebay are now perusing matters buyer is unresponsive and is being looked into for theft and fraud now. Some details about buyers Ebay name purplejenny Jenny hall and mark mccormick Address in rugby If you come across this or have recently bought this please get in contact as it is now a stolen item and police are aware Just thought id let people now so they dont do it to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyclingSalmon14 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Stuff going through ebay, take it straight to the police, as a theft crime, much quicker and Im sure all will be sorted out when he gets a visit from the police, ahaha. Some people are just a waste of resources... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AG87 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I had the same problem a few months ago with a pulse 4.6. The guy wanted 20 for a diff even though it was working fine when I sold it. Next time ask for pics to prove the fault. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watchman Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Ebay is full of **** heads, proper cheeky **** heads, id be on my way to said house you posted the buggy to, even if the fuel costs were more than id lost out on, its principle isnt it ? Ive had a few try it on with sales ive made in the past, i try avoid ebay now as does alot of people, the cheek of some people though is hard to believe. last sale i made on ebay was a tamiya hilux, complete with mfu and futaba 4wd, the full set up in box art colours, the truck was newly built and had sat on a shelf with my other trucks basicly a pampered shelf queen, guy bought it and tried claiming for all kinds claiming the gearbox was wrecked, i told the buyer and ebay i had video proof dated and photos to prove there was nothing wrong with the truck,i asked the buyer to prove with pics and if he could provide proof then i will refund for the parts damaged, guess what no pics were sent and i won the case :-) i always take loads of detailed photos now and a running video of what im selling. its crazy going to these lenghts just to sell stuff but you have to cover your back as much as poss, i hope you get this sorted though pal and the guy gets what he deserves, preferbly a broken jaw :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I would send him a message saying your going to take legal action before actually doing it. In the hope it shakes him enough to pay up or return the item, cos the police will probably just book him and youll still be out of pocket so hopefully him knowing hell be arrested would make him fix up. With all the money ebay/paypal make its about time they spent some money on stopping all the scams instead of aiding them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 You could perhaps post up the address this packet went to. We all then have a little extra awareness if this buyer tries it again under a new username? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashead Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Mate, a few years ago now a mate had the windscreen damaged on his car by someone he knew. He wen to the police and they basically said to him as he knew who did it to take revenge, but as far as he was concerned the conversation never happened. You see what i mean?
