Baggabones

[gazz81]

Had put this in a different area of the forum, but wasnt getting much attention.

On the 17th of October I purchased a pair of speakers from Baggabones, he acknowledged receipt of the money and there ends the communication!

I paid via Paypal as a gift, thought I'd be nice!

Not sure if anyone knows the guy personally? I have tried to contact him via Facebook but have had no response, also tried plenty of times through here.

He has been online on numerous occasions since the sale, so I know he's still about.

He hasn't been on here for 4 days... I know he is on some VW forums as well. Sorry you are having trouble :/

Yes Ive found the vw forums he is on, I tried to register on one the other night but there was a problem with the registration and it wouldnt work!

Still heard nothing from this piece of scum. Hoping Paypal can sort it now.

Just a thought, but maybe he has something big on his plate. When my mum passed away recently the last thing on my mind was Royal mail.

He's a long term member with a decent amount of post so I doubt he's just up and scammed you. Maybe he's on holiday or something but i'd give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

Also never paypal as a gift as its harder to get refunded if you don't get your item. Most scammers will request it be sent as a gift for this reason.

Fair enough you're annoyed that you don't have your speakers yet but calling people scum without knowing the story is out of order.

You think he hung around on here and made over 1200 posts just to scam you out of £20?

or


Maybe there is another reason.

Maybe he has a personal problem.
Maybe Royal Mail lost the package.

Take a breath and wait for an answer.

I bought an amp from him from the same sale of various bits. I got my amp a few days after my payment.

Yes that's a fair point, yes I'm a bit peeved about the situation and yes I'm sure he's a decent guy. However it's been over a month, there was no issues with communication up to the point I paid. I have made numerous polite messages to him, and can see from his profile he has been online on more than one occasion after I had paid. As I told the guy I wasn't bothered how long they take to arrive as I was in no hurry for them, however a simple message to say that everything was still ok wouldn't have hurt.
I'm sure he's not scum, and I certainly take that back, however communication is the key here.

Sorry to keep on about this, but i will not have someone getting the better of me!
Does anyone have a Volkzone account? Baggabones is using the forum regularly and I wondered if anyone can ask him to contact me. I have registered myself, but for some reason I don't have sufficient privileges to post.

It's ok, I now seem to have access.
