Name and shame Mate!
I got caught the other way round on the Transit forum.
Bought some rear seat brackets from a bloke, paid him using PayPal friends and family. He claimed he would send them on the Monday, then the
Wednesday, then said he had sent them, and they didn't arrive. I asked for courier reference/tracking number/courier name, and he said he
didn't have the number but he'd used DPD. My Mate is the local DPD driver, and he hadn't seen hide nor hair of them
He had previously been quite active on the forum, and had bought stuff from others, and passed advice on. Then I found out he'd stitched someone
else up for the same brackets a day after he scammed me
PayPal doesn't give any protection for friends and family service so i couldn't get the money back from them, and I didn't have an
address for him
I named and shamed him after several warnings, but still heard nothing, but thee moderators have now banned him from selling.
For me it was the principle AND the 30 QUID
