The "name and shame" approach is one avenue...but be careful. I had a similar experience but it turned out that the buyer was out of town for some time so couldn't use this place to communicate.

surely they could of rang prior to leaving or at any giving chance
common courtesy is all it takes..............

It's a bit of a worry that people may not trust the sites marketplace anymore due to this.

I have only used it once to buy an Edelbrock manifold off a fellow member and was impressed with how smooth the transaction went.

There has been almost $650000 worth of stuff gone through the marketplace and this is the first complaint that I have seen.

Maybe some members could post up some positive experiences that they've had.

Hi all
Thanks for your support ,I have had a little think and a little advice
and i wasnt too keen on naming and shaming as this may to do more harm than good at this stage.
It was suggested i should post a notice naming the article and the fact that the payment may have been overlooked.

Overall I have had positive experiences with the markets and believe they are a good thing. My issue was not with they payent but the non legal use of the item sold and the subsequent cost in time, money and police records to me from that. It was also ot sold via the markets just purchased through a certain member of the forum who I would now not trust. I will leave my issue at that.

The bulk of this forum is beyond friendly and helpfull. You will always have those who have no respect for their fellow man.

My experiences have all been good. Most members are honourable and will complete a transaction.
I would try all avenues contacting him again including pms and maybe a very generalised post (Inc or one of the supermods may be able to let you know if this is viable), but do not be agressive or state things like non payment etc.
Cheers
Craig

Have you tried his mobile & blocked your caller ID? He may be just not answering your calls & will pick up on a number that he doesn't associate with you. Might be worth a try, or calling at a different time of day.

I couldn't agree more, this forum is too good a place to to allow this type of behavior. We all need to Know.

I recently purchased a zf from the forum and the whole exercise has been a breeze:):).

silly question...... but why on earth did you deliver the goods before payment?

well actually I have had a few people on here deliever the goods to me before excepting payment....to make sure I was happy with it before handing over the cash. I guess its called trust

I guess just because someone is on a Land Rover forum doesn't make them honest, or easy to deal with.

Hope you get it sorted.
