If you have visited this site from ebay - welcome.

If you want to know what happened with the two negative feedback I have received read on:

I “won” a Peugeot cylinder head being sold by tomo106.   I paid straight away (as I always do) by Paypal (thank goodness).  To arrange collection I needed the dimensions of the item.  I mailed him seven times between 25/5/07 and 6/6/07 with no reply.  I threatened to dispute the transaction – still no reply.  I raised a paypal dispute – the only option - and he finally sent me his phone number.  I tried to arrange collection but he was only available after 5.10 pm weekdays. Then he told me paypal had frozen the payment and he would not send it without the money being released.

I could not mark the dispute as ‘resolved’ because it could not then be reopened. This would allow him to not send it at all and there would be nothing I could do. I assured him the dispute would be resolved and he would get his money on delivery. He was rude and unhelpful in the extreme.   He left –ve feedback even though the whole thing happened due to his refusal to communicate.

If you are thinking of buying from this con artist – don’t.   It is not the first time he has failed to deliver – check his other feedback.  If you must trade with him, use paypal so you can get the money back when he does not send the item.  If he does not reply to his emails – I have his phone number…

 

The only other –ve I received was when I bid on and 'won' an Isuzu Trooper.  I had asked if there was anything wrong with it and was told - but only after the auction had finished:

Hi Engine is A1 but think the Alternator is playing up due to light on dash and have replaced batteries.

I went to collect it only to find
the new batteries were completely flat,
an electric window did not work,
the internal blowers did not work,
the airconditioning did not work.

At his suggestion we agreed to cancel the deal.  I was a bit annoyed having wasted a morning but was not rude - just disappointed and wondered why he could not have been more honest.

I had no response to my mails and left -ve feedback as a result.  I did not want to.  I leave it to you to decided who was right or wrong.

Sorry to bore you, but if you are like me you like to know what happened behind -ve feedback.

Traders must communicate and descriptions should be honest or the deal will fail.  If you are selling me a car - be honest about it and save me wasting my time and and yours.

For my part, I try to mention everything I know about a car (or anything else) so you will have no reason to reject it.
