Pc Spec. Question

[Hanz™]

This is turning out to be a rollercoaster of pain (stress).

 

[davey g]

I already read his terms and conditions, they seem more about preventing him from getting ripped off rather than the other way round.

Thank You for reading the terms & conditions

 

[Hanz™]

Oooh that seems okay.

 

[Rico]

Okay except for the final statement, conveniently at the end:

"***, Specs can change as with ALL PC's, Makes may change, Specs may be superior as well as inferior in some cases, Case design may vary as well as keyboard, mouse speakers leads software etc etc,"

This apparently gives them leverage to replace any part of the PC with a cheaper, less powerful part. However, I'm pretty sure they need to state 'specs may change' in the auction since the auction's contract states you must get exactly what is written in the auction description.

 

[davey g]

I already asked him about that before I sent my cheque and he said the only thing that may change is the make of the CD drive.

 

[Hanz™]

I sent 4 emails to people who have bought a PC from him, and left feedback.
One of them says they still haven't recieved it (see above).
The more recent one, that I got this morning said that they cancelled buying it from him as they did not like the replies to the questions they were asking. They said that they had recieved emails from other people that hadn't recieved a PC from him before...
I am worried.

 

[davey g]

My cheque hasn't cleared yet because his bank takes 5-7 days to clear it. He says that he will send the PC off on tuesday as long as the cheque has cleared seeing as monday is a bank holiday.

Also, shit, now I'm worried again.

Edit : He sent me this,

I can confirm that the only people that left feedback had already received
their system, noone has left me any feedback before they actually got the
system as noone would do that as people always like to wait until they get
the goods as that is to be expected, I wouldn't leave feedback for someone
until I received the goods & im sure you would be the same, who ever told
you they had left me feedback before actually getting the system may be
telling a few porkies!, also I must point out that its against ebay rules
for other members to contact you & vise-versa because of the privacy act &
ebay policys, if anyone emails you you haven't got to reply as its against
the ebay rules but I guess if you want to you can, I don't mind at all in
the slightest as im happy people sharing any experiences with me with other
members as I have nothing to hide & would rather buyers letting other
potential buyers know about my systems & services etc,

 

[Klown]

Cancel the check. Do it now.

Send that to him and see what he says.

 

[Hanz™]

“OH no. You make me sad to hear that. I didnt buy anything from him as I asked loads of questions and wasnt happy with his answers. The feedback I gave was meant for someone else on a day when I had about 4 to do. I have looked into retracting it but I cant as he is no longer a member. I have been contacted by about 4 other people who have sent him money but received nothing. I think its trouble and I'm really sorry. I have contact details;[snip]

And:

“my bankers draft was clear about 7 days ago i have not receive my computer yet but so far he reply every Email i send him and he toll me that i will got my tracking number of the computer from the pascel campany to day, how do you know that ebay cancel his menber ship becausr he is late paying his fee ? and is this weekend is the holiday weekend in UK? PLEASE REPLY.” - By bigjbs25

Edit: His website is http://members.aol.com/cccomputing not ccomputing apparently.

 

[davey g]

Well, fuck it, I'm not risking it. I'm cancelling my cheque as soon as possible. Sorry for getting you involved in this.

Edit: Bargh! So his website is working? That makes this thing a little bit more legit, he said to me that the site will be up either tomorrow or monday as long as the designer gets working on it.

 

[Hanz™]

Well, fuck it, I'm not risking it. I'm cancelling my cheque as soon as possible. Sorry for getting you involved in this.

​

I'll cancel too, I am also not gonna risk it unless I get an email from bigjbs25 or some other people and they have recieved the PC, maybe if he allows me to pick it up and pay with cash "there and then" I would also be able to do that. But otherwise this is just a bit too dangerous for me...

Edit: Is there a way of getting a bank to sit on a cheque for a bit...

 

[davey g]

Now I am a little less certain about cancelling it, the website is pretty thorough. I'm beginning to think this guy is just really slow. I mean, he allows collection, it says so in his auction.

Also from his auction, "please remember that delivery is normally within 3-7 days BUT please allow 14 days** after the funds have cleared". That would account for the guy whose cheque cleared around 7 days previous. I think I'll wait until tuesday.

When did he receive your cheque? His bank takes 5 to 7 days to clear them and monday is a bank holiday. Considering he lodged my check before yours, mine should clear before yours and he has guarenteed me that it will be sent off the day the cheque clears, if he doesn't, cancel your cheque.

​

He recieved my cheque on thursday, but cashed it (allegedly) on Friday.

Edit: said wrong date.

​

This wednesday and friday? He got mine last thursday and cashed it last friday. So you've got plenty of time.

 

[Hanz™]

Damn. I wish I was ignorant.

//edit: I must note that, that was not an insult to davey_g (as he has probably like me also worried alot) I was just saying that life would be much easier with no worries.

 

[davey g]

Damn. I wish I was ignorant.

​

I'm confused.

Edit: And by cashed I mean lodged, my cheque still hasn't cleared yet.

 

[Hanz™]

​

Yeah lodged is what I meant.

 

[Klown]

If you aren't sure: Cancel.

 

[Hanz™]

If you aren't sure: Cancel.

​

Probably will do - atleast until he has reregistered on ebay.

Edit: apparently bigjbs25 lives in Canada and he has been trying to fit a delivery around his school time. That makes sense as bigjbs asked specifically about the UK. bigjbs25 still does not have a tracking number, but as he has paid, he should get one soon enough. If not.

Onemillurray is apparently a scammer himself (he said there was a discussion on the ebay forums about him) who wanted to pay with western union, but was not allowed so cancelled. So could be biased. He told me about a guy who is collecting names of people that have not recieved a PC from bargainbassment's who I have emailed, but have not yet recieved a reply from. However these could just be very impatient people couldn't they.
