      One has been on my to get list wining one would be a good end to the month wich has been a crap show ?

  3. eBay has been good to me for a very long time, until I just spotted a payment on held on Paypal. Clicked it and a buyer has reported the item he paid for as an "unauthorised transaction" he did not make, so Paypal has now returned his money after he had the item delivered. Is this some sort of new scam?

    Since I have responded with a tracking number etc, and I've emailed him a heavy message to which he responded and apologised as according to him "he did not make the transaction"

    Don't pull the wool over my eyes because I have every message BEFORE you bidded, and AFTER you won the transaction, and most importantly it went to the address YOU are living at.

      Seller protection = 1 scammer = 0. Provided PayPal with about 6 pages of screen shots and paragraphs of messages and evidence to this dispute and It’s now closed in my favour.

      To the guy who tried to scam me if you are reading this then Im sorry to tell you but if you just asked me for the car before you tried to scam me I would of given it you for a fraction of the price or even for nothing if it really meant that much to you. I am not materialistic and I’m always up for helping others. Money come and goes but it’s only right to earn it honestly without trying to steal it off others..... may this be a lesson to you :good:

      The only sad thing about this is the scammer effectively got what he wanted. He got the goods...and a refund.

      PayPal are out of pocket...but they get their money back by charging us all for using the service so theyhave a pot of money to hand out to scammers like this guy.

       

      I'll keep an eye out for this joker and if I see him bidding on anything I sell, his bid is going to get removed. I have a list of people to whom this courtesy will be extended.

  4. Not a good week of RC’ing

     

    X1 lost parcel I’m due to receive 

    X1 missed collection for an RC 

    X1 buyer not turning up due to his car breaking down!

      Oh How Original

      That's a rotten string of luck Manny!

  5. Not much luck with eBay recently:

     

    - immobiliser battery's missing with RM

    - x2 pullstart starters for a wacker plate incorrect

    - Customised stickers arrived with wrong spelling

    - Want to cancel an order as I found it cheaper elsewhere but it has already been dispatched so I'll have to pay to send it back! 

    1. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      Sounds a bit like me with my RC purchases... Two of the damn things have had to go back due to being very different from the description and one was a total scam -_-

  6. Ordered some Dr Burnorium Psycho Juice chilli sauce. Let's hope it has a kick lol :whistling:

      My fingers are crossed for my youngest purple barbie jeep.  They do look like good rcs too. I even like the body.  

  9. Would anyone happen to need a H Samuel voucher? £25 off a £75 spend. It is no use to me as they sent me the voucher AFTER my purchase! Free to anyone who wants it, valid until 20th March...

  10. Any decent model shops near Heathrow gents? 

    1. Fontie

      Fontie

      Depends what your after buying, the three I can think off. Brentford radio control centre, West London Models and Slough Radio control

      I would hope there are no retail outlets whatsoever outside a public convenience, male or female.

      Got an Axial Yeti XL kit which Bez built for me.  it Loverly but not really my thing in hindsight.  He has a build thread on here somewhere.  We could discuss a deal if interested?

      Reichelt.de (tool supplier). The status did update AFTER it had been delivered though.

      No need for concern.  It still needs to leave the airport before you can consider delivery time.  So It's really 1 day and would arrive within the next 2 imo.  After that would be a cause for concern ;)

      Parcelforce are not the best, but are any of the couriers that particularly good these days?

      Beware, just tried this with a Lego set already showing 7% off from the retailer (jadlamracing); the code is applied however the PayPal pop up box states the full amount, to be billed after delivery. Cheeky 

  17. Any suggestions for the smallest RX available on the market? ( 2 or 3 channel only)

      Have you tried your phone before? I think it's great does most things my dad's sat nav does. Talks to ect.

      I use it when I'm lost just walking Bcos it let's you choose any mode of transport.

      Walking , cycling , busses , car. I love it when I'm driving I'll probably just use that. 

      Unless a tomtom does more than store addresses ect. 

  19. Roll on 23 days off starting at 1pm!

      Darn it, I was in there for breakfast yesterday (if it's good enough for the locals.....) would have had dessert if I'd have known.

      Birds are the no.1 brand around here as they are higher quality  than Greggs. There's only 4 Greggs left in downtown Derby now.

    4. Smoothybb

      Smoothybb

      Only four left, I'll head over, kick their takings up a notch. Not a fan of birds, not in nottnam. Never seems to be much choice and greggs make their stuff look more appealing.

  22. Up, ready and waiting to go and get married, but you can’t start the day without peanut butter on toast and a quick visit to the forum :P:lol:

      Ide say mixed feelings is a good sign lol. Not married but in ten years only got engaged a year ago lol. Heres to another 9yrs then think about a wedding lol. 

       

      I just cant stand the idea of our families meeting lol. 

  24. So I have owned my car for 5 years and kept it maintained and tidy without fail. My true pride and joy. Then one day (today) another drivers foot decides to slip at the lights whilst in first gear straight into me and I get sent forward into another car. Rear bumper cracked and to top it off I arrive home to find a 1 inch nail straight through my rear tyre. Just brilliant! :(

      insurance companies should have a 3 strike then it's 10k to insure any car lol. 3 strikes ruled against them. Wouldn't count if decided it was unavoidable or others fault. 

    4. A Return

      A Return

      Forgot to say, the current A to B car also got a tap in the side just after i got it. All the accidents ive been involved in were non fault, but after the first one i think my insurace company started to get suss, but luckily the other party admited liability. Anoying thing is ive never had an accident which was my fault apart from when i locked up on ice and tapped the kerb bending a wheel and bottom arm, only involving myself and no one else. Someone mentioned people cutting corners, only last week i pulled up to the end of my road only to see someone cut the corner  as they were turning into my road, enough that they almost hit the kerb on the other side of the road. Also had someone pull out infront of me at a roundabout doing about 40, didnt even know i was there, if id been 1 foot further forward id have been toast. Bit like therapy this lol
