Tbh if I sold something and sent it I would then assume the rest of the cash is for spending. To send it again if the error was mine and I had no cash I would probably sell something else. Seems to have been going on for a while though :/ sure Stu will sort it :)

How come the item was sent back to him? what was the reason?
Indeed, there should have been a tracking number if it was FedEx, a few years back, I had overseas post vanish, then get returned to me months later. One was a pile of magazines sent to Norway, cost £45 to send, parcel got damaged in post, taking off part of the postage label, so it came back to me, seller paid postage again as they really wanted the item. (claim was put in to RM for postage as they were the one that damaged parcel) another one was a spectrum I sold to someone in Spain, apparently they put a card through his letter box saying it was waiting at his collection centre, he never did get a card, so it then went back through a slow Spanish post system back to me (arrived 3 months later)...and I had to post it again. Each time though I kept all receipts and delivery notes etc as evidence. The seller should have evidence of his original postage.

I can't see a parcel that's going out the country getting returned and coming back to the sender in a week, doesn't add up

Great that JB is helping, what a man

I know what it's like if you are short on money and often go spend money from something I sold, then something goes wrong and they want to return and refund, can be a nightmare, but you don't start selling something again you have told a buyer has been posted. If it was shipped and returned and your on the breadline

It doesn't help if you have send it and a mistake was made with address etc, but to me it was never posted as it won't be returned that quick. I've even sent a stereo to Mexico, she paid like £400 for it, then another £200 for shipping, the address she gave couldn't be shipped too, it was like a PO BOX type I think, Parcel Force asked me to get another address, she was cool as owt, never questioned where it was, I got another address and passed to Parcel Force and forwarded on and delivered ok, that shows how hard they try to sort it with out just returning, only Russia a problem so far.

I've sent stereo system to Russia and it gets stopped at customs and then returned, they are a nightmare, but it was months before return. I already paid more than original shipping quote, lucky I had made enough on the item to cover it and still be in profit by a lot, but when it gets returned it got complicated. I wasn't paying out another £70 to ship it and the same happen again, I hadn't got the money by that time to refund and I would also have to take off the orginal postage price I lost of £70 so he wouldn't get more than half back with fees etc, it wasn't my fault their Customs has gone crackers or the buyers fault

We finally agreed to ship to someone he knows in London, so I shipped again for Free to that address, he was out of the claim time limit so couldn't open case that it's not arrived.

I Certainly never want to keep any ones money and item.

Which is why with cases like this, I would happily post things on to buyers in other countries if they can't get the seller to ship, or like this it helps people out, don't want any money for doing it just the money it costs to ship, end of the day it will cost the buyer about £10 more for shipping to someone in UK to forward on

Suppose it's possible if the label has come off early, but you put on a label yourself and they put labels on also, so that wouldn't happen really

Hi guys,

Hannes - your best course of action here is to see if John Bud can help. Both guys are up in Scotland which is about as far away from me as you can get without being seperated by the sea!

I agree it appears you have been given the run around a little but I am sure with Johns help this will come good.

Please keep us all updated until the package and items arrive in your hands.

I've been in a similar situation where someone used money I sent them for shipping to "pay their bills" rather than shipping the stuff I'd bought from them - and they then talk to you like it's perfectly acceptable behaviour and you should chill out!

Seriously, I don't care how crap things have got, it's a sh*tty thing to do. At the very least be humble about it and apologise.

i wouldn't worry about winding him up - you are not in the wrong here

True, but he thinks so, he is now heaping me with reproaches because I tried to find out who he is and postet on this board.

chubsta said:
It doesn't matter what his financial position is, you
paid for the items to be posted, you didn't give him money for his
bills.

At LEAST I would answer mails AND I would´nt pretend that the goods are to arrive every day.
Since almost 2 months I go to the mailbox everyday and the truth is that the parts lay next to his couch!!!

chubsta said:
Whilst i can understand someone deciding to prioritise and put
themselves first when they are short of money

But if we see it right he made profit anyways, only the shipping money is what he would´nt have as he got to pay shipping. The rest of the money can go in his bills.

chubsta said:
at the end of the day it
is not your problem and he should face up to what he was doing and not
try and turn it around so you look like a bad guy for wondering where
your stuff is after 2 months and no communication...

Thats the point, if he would have said it weeks ago and would keep contact at least every 3 days to a week (by himself) everything would look differently, but he leaves me in the faith that the parts will be here every day and but the parts did not even leave his house .....that makes me really angry.

He now use a "you can wait or kiss my ass"-policy.

I did not hear the word "sorry" for a single time.
He is not grateful that I did´nt leave a negative feedback on eBay what everybody else in my shoes had already left.

He is very impolite and assumes that I now wait even longer to the far day that he is in the mood to spend the 15-20€ for the shipping.

If I go than to the police they will ask why I did´nt came earlier, I had problems like that before.

I am also jobless at the moment and my flat and energy alone costs me 60% of the money I get from the government, so I have to live economically and I so I know his situation BUT HONESTLY - he did´nt have 20€ for shipping in 2 bloody months????

I am really affraid that this wont work out without the police....especially since he is not ready to go a polite route with me, he acts like an angry kid because I spoiled his reputation here on the board and because I used the word f.....ing here.....I really have to wonder about him!

Probably the guy at the post office did mistake sender with receiver when Stu did not label the box the correct way, but can even happen when you do it the correctly.

I had the same problem (and I alos sent to late, but we talk about some days here, not 2 months).

I just took the box, went to the post office, explained the problem and told them that the box needs to go away from me, not to arrive....and of course they took it back and sent it without additional costs.

He says he did´nt bag to come in that situation....I see it differently to be honestly.

I already know what he will reply if I would say that I want to see the evidence of the original postage....he would get even more impolite and I am tired of this guy.

The matter is in hand and being dealt with. Give that time to resolve itself. Next time you have an issue, try contacting a mod first before you come right out and start calling people scammers.

Synonym, I seem to recall some drama on DLF between you and some very, very senior members there previously over cabs so you are not exactly an angel yourself.

Likewise, members on here need to take a deep breath sometimes - it seems we have several mind readers and posters who must have crystal balls in front of them. Ironically, some of whom probably have met Stu in the flesh.

Man whats wrong with you??? I did not make problems I asked if somebody know that guy, what are you talking about.

I call somebody a scammer that scammed me obviously, we dont talk about 2 weeks, we talk about 2 monts.

If one of my friends would scam you, would it be a scam only because its my friend???

What on DLF happened is that Superully did corrupt all my threads from the time that I told him the second Dragons Lair cab is already promised to another one.

That he is a seniormember does not matter to me at all, is that a 2 class society?

Stu did not send my parts for 2 months and did not respond to my mails, not a crime because he is a senior member here?????

There are only 2 members that want to make me believe that I did something wrong, you and Stu!

Guys, there is no need to have a tit-for-tat slanging match.

There has clearly been issues here, and John Bud and BombJac know Stu well so if they say it is in hand then it will be.

Synonym9, I know you have had to be patient but a bit more patience is required and it will get sorted out I'm sure if these guys are on the case.

I'm sorry but I don't care how long someone has been on a forum or who they are mates with, you either run your business in a decent manner or you get called out on it, to try to make the buyer a bad guy for wanting it sorted after 2 months is a pretty crappy thing to do.

I remember being told Andyman would send my boards out over and over again, people were saying how hard a time he was having but that he was a nice guy and really did want to sort everything out, and most of us know how that panned out.

Either this guy sorts it in the next day or so or he is a scammer and I don't care who things I'm harsh for saying thst

Thanks Sir, and I appreciate....BombJac just does´nt have any justification to tell me that I made something wrong.

I always hate this "you had issues on other boards"....and? There might be reason but some people out there got the opinion that you dont have the right of your own opinion and have the duty to say "yes" to everything senior-members say....which is not correct to me.

If nobody would know Stu here everybody would call him a bloody scammer but when the a well known member does the same thing he suddenly is right and I am a troublemaker....this is insane.

I hope some of you get my point, no community should work like that.

I still say Stu never sent the box AND he did not reply my mails, plus I think if there would´nt be pressure from the board here, he would not going to send it anymore, I feel it from the way he act.

Thanks again for the help guys, you are awesome...and BombJac, please ignore my person for the rest of my life!

So the few months and several lies weren't enough for this guy to deserve that label in the slightest? Poor or not the guy has been deceptive and if this thread had not been made he would still be trying to pull a fast one!

AMEN MATE, A M E N

I am really not intended to ask peaple for permission before I call there friends scammers....especially when things ran the way they did in Stu's case.

How can Bombjac attack me only because I am a Newbie???

Dont really want to get involved in this, but you cant categorically prove that he didnt send it, and it did the rounds and ended up back at his.

Lets let Jb get in touch with Stu, hopefully he can get stu to post it, synonym can get his goods, and then we can move on.

Even if he did send it (which I'm not denying) he repeatedly lied by the looks of it about reposting it and just left it sat there!

Well its fairly clear that his names been made mud on here. Its all 'by the looks of it' at the moment Squilla isnt an active member anymore, and sounds like he's not exactly having a good run in life at the moment, that said Im not siding with the seller or the buyer, just saying lets let it run its course. I cant help but think a pm to the mods on the forum would have avoided all this.
