Owen Irvine,
*ADDRESS REMOVED BY MODERATOR*
but i dont know if there the same people, can any body help as its not nice when you get ripped off and the person MITE be a member of the forum, if your nit the same person then im sorry but i do need to find out as none of them will answer my emails

8O  im afraid you may well have been robbed by him mate, about 12 people off the VR6OC have had dealing with this… shall we say… Owen individual…it seems he has hooked the idea of selling vw stuff on forums and ebay but never sends the stuff, one of the lads from VR6OC was gonna pay him a visit :wink:  dunno if he has yet :dontknow:

if thats the case then the next time im up there i will call and see him for a cuppa :evil:

how did you pay, if you used your card through paypal you have some sort of protection as you can do a charge back. And i also think that ebay has some sort of buyer protection even if not used paypal. Might not get all back if you paid alot but at least a bit.

yes it was pay pal and im already on with a claim to get me money back, just makes me mad when you end up dealing we a muppit and it also looks bad on all the proper people if you know what i mean

Having looked at goldywaggon's previous posts, he's only posted on 2 threads, one to sell a car (shell) and one to sell a bunch of carbon fibre parts. While he's a "member" of the forum he's not a member of the club. Anyone is free to register and become a forum member, and then post in the classifieds area. So, tips for buying safely are:

- Do a bit of research. If posting on here, have a look at when the buyer registered, what kind of posts they've made in the past (is it all in the classifieds area or have they helped people out in the other sections? etc); and if on eBay, what other items have they bought and sold recently?
- Use a secure form of sending payment, eg Paypal.
- If not possible, then cash on collection is an alternative if its not too far to travel
- If you're unsure the item is genuine and for sale, and also for secondhand items where condition may be important, ask for pics of the item before you commit. A genuine seller would not mind sending pics.

Although there are dangers, many many successful transactions have been done through buyers and sellers meeting on this website, so long as you take precautions you should be able to trade safely!

i was in no way blaming this forum as i bought them on ebay, i only asked if any one new him as iv not had a reply to my emails and thought that if some one new him they mite know if he was ill ar some thing as you never know whats happend, he had good feed back but has now bin left bad feed back by some one else that has not got there stuf aswell, i will have to see what the out come with ebay is but i dont hold much hope ov them getting me my money back

Hi,

I had similar experience when buying from someone on ebay. The seller had 100% feedback but I never received my item. The item I had bought reappeared for sale and their feedback started going completely negative.

I'd paid through paypal so I started a dispute through them and got all my money back quite quickly, so hopefully you will too.

Good luck

this person is back again as iv had an email off him so if you know any one he riped pm me and il send you his email as he says he has return every ones money, iv still not got all mine
