Back in Aprill I arranged to buy a Punto HGT backbox from a member who was advertising in the classifieds section. I suggested to use paypal but he didn't want to because of the fees so I transfered the money to his bank via a bank transfer on the 30-Apr.
He was on the ball checking weather I had made the transfer, how long would it take etc.
On the 11-may I emailed him asking were it was and he was quick to reply saying he had been ill and was unable to send, but assured me it would be sent the next day.
After still not receiving it I chased him again getting a reply on the 22-May saying that royal mail had sent it to the senders address and again assured me he would send it the next day on recorded delivery.
This is the last response I have had. since then I have sent many emails / Pm's and had no replies. I can see he is still logging into the forum and even making posts.
This is turning out to be a real nightmare. My car has been off the road now for 6 weeks now, I paid £90 for the backbox over the forum and now looks like im going to be forced to goto fiat and spend £150 on backbox from them.
Has anybody been in this situation before and have any advice. All i want todo now is have my money back and Ill buy it from fiat.
The only details I have is his email and back account details.
Im not going to name the member now. Hopefully he will see this and the prospect of being named may get him to reply to me. if not ill let you all know very shortly.
As I said, any advice much appreciated.
