Bought the OMP strut brace for £40 including delivery as advertised here - http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=434855

Paid on 20th September.

Got one message saying it would be collected Friday 21st September.

Then got a PM saying that it wasnt collected because courier didnt turn up but said it would be collected Monday 24th September.

Sent a PM and visitor message asking if it had been collected and no reply since.

Then sent a message to his facebook account as theres a link to it in his signature but yet again no response.

Anyone else had the same problem?

It seems from his visitor messages he is selling things more than once by the sounds of it...

He's not been online in over a week. Drop him an email and request a reply.

His visitor messages, other than yours, are not recent so of no consequence.

He might be away for family reasons or anything so let's give the benefit of the doubt for now

Keep trying on Facebook as he's more likely to pick that up than here of away I'd say. Let us know if you hear anything.

Sent him another facebook message just now so will see what happens.

I did notice he hasnt been online in a while but just thought it was strange.

Hopefully this can be resolved asap.

Thanks Ross ( and sorry for the 'important' before the thread title i didnt know i wasnt allowed to use it )

No worries man. My problem is I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt. He's probably a scammer clearing out your PayPal account as we speak

On a serious note though, keep trying for a bit longer, firm but persistent. He's a long term member on here so hopefully will all come out in the wash

Ps - np re the prefix - only removed because its already considered "important" in the forum area it's in

Good luck buddy.

Received the strut brace last week so this thread may be closed or deleted. SneakyVTR had moved house with no internet access for a while so couldnt get in touch with me which is fair enough.
