He doesn't look very sick and frail in these pics.

That might not be him, it might be an old pic or it might be before whatever misfortune is preventing him shipping.

[matman 1500]

Just hope the stuff turns up .

OMG!! PLEASE turn up .

[Falcon#5 594]

That might not be him, it might be an old pic or it might be before whatever misfortune is preventing him shipping.

If he's unable to ship previous items, why is he posting more auctions?

[Swarm 242]

I feel for you Matt

Hope you get your kits it sux !!!

The name sounded familiar, so I had a look through the history on my watch list.

Found some of the items he had listed.

I remember he had a LOT of great cars/NIBs for sale.

The excuses he has given are pretty frail.

He says he won't give matman his cars because he left him negative feedback about not getting his cars?

I found nothing in the message that was intimidating, or could be construed as bullying.

Yes I remember these auctions also, had a heap of stuff, all looked really good.

It really annoy's me about excuses, if you cant complete a transaction, dont start one, I had a similar (although way less significant) event when selling an item, and for over a week, didn't hear from the buyer, opened a dispute and low and behold, item was paid for, it just annoys me

[bjr250 23]

It seems that he still has the items in question and has admitted this.

This is FRAUD.

If you funded Paypal with your credit card you can complete a charge back via the credit card company (if it is within the time limits for the credit card - usually 60 days).

The credit card company will then refund you directly and then try to get the money out of Paypal. You might have to provide evidence that you have not received the goods/service that the payment was for, so keep all correspondence with the seller and make notes of any phone conversations with dates and times.

If this doesn't work I would go down the line of contacting the police and seeing what can be done.

[Swarm 242]

Yup I would go to the cops as well ,this is fraud plain and simple .

A paper trail of sorts has been left.

Lesson learnt ,never close a paypal dispute until you recieve the goods .

There is noway on the planet retardo that I would let this go if it were me !!!

Stuart.

[matman 1500]

Well i have rang the police & there are a few options .

I am going to do this (& more . )

www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/crimePrevention/eCrime/internet/

The above site was given to me buy the police & is spelt right .

I have to got to let ebay know as well , So i will update that later .

[matman 1500]

Well i have just received one of the cars . Avante has turned up . Sweet looking car .

I have been drooling over it Now i have to clean it

[Falcon#5 594]

Good to see you have received one of the cars.

If he was able to send one, why not all of them?

[Bigwheels_inc 11]

Have you received the rest of them yet ?

[matman 1500]

Still waiting on more stuff as he is still playing games i think . Tells me he is sending some then still nothing .

I will have to ask him again & see what is going on . Then i will have to go to the cops . As i have talked to them

a few weeks / months now ago . I have to take a M8 over to court on Thursday to get his car back etc .

So i will ask there as well & his lawyer as well if i can . As i have enough stuff to make a case , all emails, text's

P.O has backed me up & paypal payments etc .

As this is getting way out of hand

[matman 1500]

Glad to see things are turning OK. Not sure if tshipping method was discussed as it seems they were sea freight. No free lunch.

Glad you are getting them.. I know Shipping from US to Australia is pretty slow, well, shipping ANYWHERE lately has gotten slower from my perception. I used to buy things or ship them coast to coast here in US it used to be 5 days coast to coast.. Now it is 8 days average. I shipped from US a car part to Australia and it was about 3 weeks until my buddy got it (fairly small package as well).. I shipped one from California to Crappone France and It was about 20 days until reception.

If it is local stuff. Seller procrastination is a poor excuse.. 2 days Time it should be on it's way (1 day packing, next day shipping)..

I'm glad things are coming in.. I see some of the horror tales here and it's just uncalled for and makes selling/buying a scary ordeal.. From what I read TRADING is out of the question lol.. seems like a lot of sending and not a lot of receiving on the trade deals (on URC at least).

It's not getting shipped from the USA it's from Australia to the other side of Australia .

Hammer the bloke with every legal means at your disposal. This has gone on far too long.

[9519sam 0]

You could temp him with a deal of withdrawing your neg feedback once you have received all your stuff

I'm not a big believer of eBay excuses I've heard a lot of them

[TongueTied 56]

Any update? Did you get the last remaining kits?

[matman 1500]

Any update? Did you get the last remaining kits?

Not as of yet . .

[oz-trash-cowboy 63]

This is not cool. Perth - Melbourne return tickets are going cheap. The satifaction of ringing his door bell would be worth every penny.

[Bigwheels_inc 11]

Any news on the last 2 cars ?

[matman 1500]

Any news on the last 2 cars ?

Not got them . Don't look good .

[Percymon 2185]

Given it's now 6 months since you bought them

I think it's time the seller got a letter from a solicitor or a knock on the door from the local police
