16vgtip is a conman
This person 16vgtip will not post the fan radiator and shaft £50 been taking a long time i have email him and no reply until now. he wont refund my money. i told him i have got the things i need some were else so refund please as he said he would and now he wont he said that’s to much money but that’s what he said it will cost me in the first place. What is going to be done about this matter?
How could £50 be way too much when that is the exact amount you asked for on top of the £500 for the rad and fan in the first place? that, i do not understand, i have kept all the communications between us and thats what you said, you were happy enough to take my money which i in good faith sent you, this is no way to do business mate

If you paid him via paypal and sent the money as a gift you're stuffed. If you sent the money as goods and paid the fee you should be fine.

If you mean 16vgti Then i have an address and postcode, but he was very very slow at sending an engine for a mate and in the end we just went up and collected it, was no where near being sent out aswell,

Why didn't you leave him negative feedback Jordy?
Thats why iTrader is there, to stop things like this happening.
Even the Op whos made this thread hasn't left him negative feedback, Hes currently still got 100% positive - other members are going to buy off them.
I think people only use iTrader to give positive feedback these days, because their scared of someone 'getting them back'.

Paul - i didn't leave neg itrader because i wasn't buying the engine i was going along for the ride to check it etc. Bishyvtr bought the engine, so was his place to leave neg itrader if he wanted to.

Ah thats fair enough Jordy.
You know what i mean though dont you, hardly anyone on saxp gives negative feedback on iTrader. Its pretty pointless having it if people aren't going to use it properly.

I wasnt too trusting when he only did "bank transfer" not paypal, then a few days later.. he did paypal to everyone which was odd.
Never the less, allot of people have collected things off him!

Just spoke to him now
HIS WORDS NOT MINE!
Refund has been sent, tried to find out where they could have got to but the courier assured me all was delivered.
Anymore problems PM me and will speak to him, thank you.
