got burned?

[stealthee]

I can tell you if I bought something and was TOLD it would ship the next day and it didn't I would be pissed.

I also think its pretty dumb to blame the buyer if the seller never asks for an address. If he needed the address than the SELLER should PM the buyer and get that info from him. It shouldn't be up to the buyers speculation to assume the buyer didn't get his address.

Too many people on here are fast to take money and not produce the goods. I can understand if you have stuff going on and get busy but people on here are NOT banks that lend money. If you are busy and don't think you will be able to ship something on time then don't take the money. Period! Ask for payment when you know you can or will ship it.

If you need a loan go to bank or ask your mom.

You are the exact kind of buyer I will NOT deal with.

People here (excluding vendors) are not businesses and have lives. He just bought them on Sunday and is already complaining? Give me a break.

If I was the seller I would just refund his money and tell him I wasn't going to deal with him anymore.

Man what are u talking about u wouldn't deal with him as a seller. I don't care how busy u are as a seller. You should at the very minimum let the guy know something about why you haven't shipped it out yet. I mean just shoot him an email saying that you're busy and he will get to it. Why should a buyer have to track u down to get some answers? A lot of u guys are BIASED anyway because u know the seller so you're not looking at it from a neutral point of view.

[stealthee]

I have no clue who the seller is. I just know I have dealt with my fair share of pain in the ass buyers over years of parting cars out.

no response since...

[Mad Monkey]

Sounds like you got plenty of info about it being a delay.
I recently bought something from someone selling on here and it took a day or so to get a response but he explained why it wasdelayd.

[copgtp]

You got to be kidding me here. I'm the seller in this situation.

You dragged me on for a couple days about buying them, you finally sent payment on Sunday.

I've answered every email / PM I've received from you. I didn't answer you for the last day b/c I haven't logged in.

The heads were dropped off for shipment on thursday but I haven't had time to stop by and get the tracking # since I've been working overtime.

I've told you several times that I don't work regular hours and it was going to be delayed. You told me no problem. If you had said "nah bro I needed them shipped monday", I would have been more than happy to send you a refund.

You didn't get a reply since because I HADN'T LOGGED ON SINCE!!!

It's transactions like this that make me stick with ebay.....

[copgtp]

If I was the seller I would just refund his money and tell him I wasn't going to deal with him anymore.

I really wish I would have seen this post BEFORE dropping them off to get boxed and shipped, b/c that is exactly what I would have done. Hell, the money is still sitting in my Paypal, I didn't "need" it, just thought I'd do another member a favor and send him a set of nice L67 heads for DIRT CHEAP...............silly me for doing someone a favor.

[cameron92]

Well this guy should feel like an idiot.

[Mad Monkey]

/thread OP fail

[redynscire]

not an idiot. but something along those lines.

[Slick2500]

Yeah man there will be times where I don't come on here for like a week.

[Slowpoke]

Cop's been a respectable member here for a few years, and has helped alot of people out during that time. You've been here for not even two months....how did you thing this was going to be? Of course people are going to give him the benefit of the doubt, and rightly so. As it turns out, you were wrong....imagine that.

This callout was bad, and you should feel bad

[Mad Monkey]

Doesn't matter if cop was on here 2yrs or 2 days. You plainly over reacted and made an ass outta yourself.

[redynscire]

does this mean i dont get a tracking number?
i do feel bad

[redynscire]

I jacked up. jumped to conclusions...Sorry Cop

[NegativeOne13]

I built a rep on shipping nearly the same minute. Got all the supplies laying around etc etc. Then my life got busier and I still think I can ship the same. Ask around...the guys here have been very patient and understanding with me. Heck.. NegativeOne ...ask him, in the meantime though I had 100 things crop up and keep me from getting to it and thinking I'd be able to do it next. Life can get crazy. Cop is a good guy from everything I've seen here and chatted with him about.

Toss him an email/pm or text. For a while he was on quite a bit and lately it's looked like he's been pretty busy. Give the guy a chance to splain himself.

Here is my perspective on this. If its someone was not a per say "regular" on here I would be a little more worried. As I have talked with cop before and know he is a good guy, I wouldn't worry. **** does come up that is unpredictable. Like Bill and I, I understand Bill is a very busy man, and it took him a while to ship my package. But, at the same time I know Bill has done tons upon tons for this forum and deserves nothing less than patience. I know cop has also provided great information and help to people and should be given respect. If you had to absolutely have them out Monday, should have told him the circumstances and upped the shipping to overnight. And, as for him not replying, as he even stated he hasn't logged in, we all have lives to attend to. Each persons life is more important than someone elses.

[copgtp]

As I told you in all of my PM's I will give you the tracking number as soon as I get it. That was part of the original deal.
