Non paying ebayer
 

Just in case you sell anything on ebay, and this person bids, be aware they messed me around then let me down. They are based in Harleston, Norfolk, made winning bid on a shed, messaged me three times over 4 days to make appointment, but never turned up and to date hasn't answered me, even hough I gave my phone number. Ebay ID on this person is chrisoakley1984. Just be aware.

have you opened a non payment dispute via ebay?

Should this not be in the social area of the forum, what as happened to you most likely thousands of time on the bay, not nice but i would not let it eat you away, it's worth the energy just report none payment to ebay, you and i both know they will do nowt so best to move on, good luck with the next possible purchaser.

Maybe try selling it on here in the market section.

To keep it Rover related there's a lovely lady on Facebook in Burton who goes by the user name "Lady mechanic" selling various bits. I purchased a black oak dash paid by Paypal and didnt hear from her for over 4 weeks. When I reported it she said they didnt have a mobile phone for that period. After another 3 weeks I received a refund from Paypal as I always pay as if its a business. Why do people expect you to send money away for goods and get no communication for 4 weeks and never reply to numerous messages and expect to do any business.:shrug:

I've over £3000 worth of brake discs sitting here for none paying and people who did sneeky pay pal refunds. Trust me you don't know half of it lol.

This lady is related to Marshall Performance Motors in Burton-O-T. That's who I have paid on the past for jobs there. Apparently some issues going on there from what I see on FB. Fact: The FB page for the business has been closed down as well as Mr M's personal FB page.

I used them in the past but never again. Last job early this year, I shall just say was shoddy. Did strut top mounts (outside on jacks in the rain as he'd 'forgotten' I was turning up that day), but later turned out he had reassembled one of the struts incorrectly as it started making a noise over big bumps. And I believe put a nick in one of the lower arm balljoint rubbers I found recently. Thanks for that.

I've just paid again for the strut to be stripped and put back by Simon Ballard at College Motots in Burford (top place), and it's now fine. I can't do this sort of job myself but a costly lesson learned about where to go in future for a proper job.

They're not all like that. a seller called lynnfromnewtonabbot has supplied me with exactly what I wanted a couple of times

Hi Rob.
Did you not contact him/them with your findings and receipt for the work that had to be undertaken again?

Either for a refund or to pay for the extra work that was carried out, i ask this because i have recently seen a car that was worked on from the same place/person which needed a lot of amendment to it, below was just a small part of the work that needed to be addressed.

Hi,

Hmmm, yes.

For my most recent work, it's going to be very hard to prove he put a nick in the balljoint boot, as it might have been there already. He was always very hard to contact anyway so I suspect he's gone to ground. I do know for a fact that Mr M has deleted his personal and business FB pages although the business website still exists.

**And I note that this business is one of the Traders Shops still listed on this site**

I suspect it would be fruitless, stressful and a time drain for a relatively small amount of additional outlay to remove and reassemble the strut properly so I am sucking it up and filing it under 'Be careful who you trust'.

On the plus side, I've found a good place just 25 miles from me as noted above who let you see the work being done if you choose. That's where I'll go almost exclusively in future for stuff I can't do myself.
