pete g Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 please note if you sell on ebay and some one pays by paypal and they collect the item . you are not covered by their protection if the buyer then says he never received the item. even it you get him to sign for it. I just sold a engine on ebay and buyer paid straight away by paypal. he took a age to pick it up but the day after he collected he informed his credit card company he never authorised the payment. paypal froze my account so I not longer can use it till I pay them back plus charges. what is worse was it was a fellow westfield owner who has done this to me. his name is Charlie boswell so if you come in to contact with this guy I would give him a wide birth. he comes from the herts area .im not sure he is a member on here or not. ther matter is now with the police and credit card company but don't hold my breath I get anything back. you have been warned regards pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTR2Turbo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 that's a shocker Pete I see Paypal have occasionally refunded where a police fraud complaint has been made. The Westfield world is a small one so I can't imagine it would be long before he is tracked down .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Always always always tailor your listing. If collection only, or an option, cash on collection should be the only option available to punters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Algar - Competition Secretary Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 That is not good Pete. Got to say that I have been lucky so far, but hate the way PayPal operate. It can be a real minefield. I have even done what he did and paid by PayPal then got someone else to pick up for me. Obviously I didn't then claim back, crazy world.

XTR2Turbo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Create a fake ID and go on a few van and car insurance comparison websites, kitchens, double glazers, life insurance with his mobile number. He'll be getting cold calls day and night for weeks !! Or put a classified add on Gumtree or in a local paper advertising something silly cheap with his number. The internet is a wonderful thing ;-) Better still post it up here and we can all start calling him ;-) If he hasn't changed his phone voicemail pin (bet he hasn't) he might find he has a different voicemail message and pin set over night ;-) There are plenty of ways of p******** people off ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
