Just a quick post to let people know not to buy from this poster! I had ordered a few crab ( frozen and fresh) a while ago and wot was sent was reasonable, i placed another order 2 weeks ago spending around £60-£65 and was told on delivery date that there was a problem so id hav to wait til following week! Im still waiting now with no crab and empty wallet, no replies via email text and ebay, paypal cant dispute because payment was made as a gift! Im stupid for not putting it through paypal properly but i dont want it happening to any other lads on here!

paypal cons
sad to hear that mate shocking realy, all ways pay the few quid fees but id contact the police there will b a record on paypal of your payment even if u dont get your money bk a knock on his door from mr plod might stop him doing it a gain

Agreed, probably give it a bit longer first in case he is away ?Comment

I was in contact with him until due delivery then he put that back a week and wen it was due again surprise surprise no contact ! I paid the couple of quid fees but cos it went thru as a gift like he asked then paypal cant do anything! The buyer isnt local but a buyer on here has contacted me for details so it doesnt happen again! Ive been a bit naive but i had spent £160 previous with him but had no problem!Comment

you cant claim a bean mate unfortunatelyOriginally posted by Johnc1109 View Post
Its the same with a bank transfer, at the very best they could investigate for you, but i can guarantee you that will come to nothing
I dont see how you have paid the fees and sent as a gift? the seller pays the fees not the buyer, probably the reason why he asked you to send as a gift
Alarm bells should always ring if someone wants paypal gift, if someone offers me something and want paypal gift i always say, its fine i will cover the 3% they charge you and send it properly
For the sake of 3% of total cost for full insurance its a no brainer for me
I would still report the seller to ebay they are pretty stringent, thats if he still has his account openComment

Just bid and win on all the stock he has mate.
Then leave negative feedback straight away, tell him you will remove the feedback once he's sent you what you originally ordered.
Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers so you've no worries there.Comment

Get in touch with ebay mate and report him they may help you.Comment

He used paypal gift mate!Originally posted by mick dunn View Post
Its essentially a bank transfer
Once you send money through paypal gift, family friends etc. paypal dont make there bit, so they wont help you out if someone robs you. why would they? there not making owt.
Its also worth being aware what on there t&cs for prohibited items
I do a lot of hunting and believe it or not any firearm, that includes sub 12ft/lb air rifles sub 6ft/lb air pistols are not covered under there blanket ban on any firearmsComment

Il contact ebay to notify them theres a rogue trader! As long as nobody else gets scammed and cant trade again il be happy! Lesson learned but it boils me that he hasnt got the guts to reply!Comment

Ask him a question on the items he's selling to see if you get a reply ?I am a fisherman !
It is not merely something that I do
It is who I am !
Fishing is not simply my escape.
It is where I am supposed to be.
It is not a place that I go
But a lifelong journey that I am taking
It is a passage that was shown to me and that I will continue to show others.
When you understand all of this you will then know me .
And we will fish togetherComment
