Title: N porium buyer no show
Post by: 1936ace on March 02, 2017, 03:46:50 AM
Hi all
Did my first real n porium sale. Peco china clay hoppers in ECC livery.
Some interest shown and a buyer quickly found. They asked if PayPal was ok for payment , wanted all twelve.
Have tried many times to contact them but they have gone silent even though they are " on the web" still posting
Slightly disappointed somewhat annoyed having to drive into town to get the parcel Boxed and weighed for them. Going. Y there other posts
I'm wondering if they may be a repeat offender
🙄

Yes that's right. No reply to either several pm's or from the forum post itself

Sounds like a possible rule infringement. Worth a PM to @Tank (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=2) ?

As the buyer involved i did message back apologising that i thought they were in the UK and that by the time the postage was added it came to more than the UK price. Or at least i thought i did except dumb*** here did not press send the button and it remained a draft in my fb messages. Therefore i thought id replied but in fact hadnt.

Just to update. As i felt bad about not getting back sooner ive paid in full for them now!

We have probably all done that ,and its a pain ,it takes me quite a while to write a post and of course if youve writen it all and forgoten to press send you loose it all and have to start again.

I sat waiting for a grocery delivery the other day. When it didn't turn up during the allotted hour, I woke the computer intending to check the order ref before calling customer support. Yep, there was the browser still on the final order confirmation page waiting for me to click the final button. :doh: My punishment - I had to go without any dinner! :thumbsdown:
