If you sent an item to someone on this board

[Jim Bremner]

And he hasn't paid you in a month how long would you wait to mention his name ?

Your post might do the trick!

[ossiblue]

Has there been communication between you two over that month? If not, why and if so, what information was exchanged?

Just from me saying to pay or return.

I had that issue with a head I sold to a guy in Fla. a few years ago. I contacted a mod, who leaned on him a little and I got my money. I should mention I was not the first one with this issue regarding this fellow

Is he responding to you? If not..."gloves off" and post who it is imo. "Life" sometimes gets in the way...but this is unacceptable for this forum . Good luck!

[tevake]

So what is the story from the other end? Non-response, stringing you along?
Not good. I'd give a little time for some response to this post then lay it out here.
There is too much history of trust and doing right by each other to act that way here.

Cheers Richard

What was the agreed time period for payment? If you supplied the goods and he did not pay then he is in default. Definitely publish his name. But the problem is with some people it does not faze them at all....
You mean we have scuzzy people on PP forum? Surprise!

We need a personal feedback forum so others check this stuff out before doing business with someone they don't know. Some of the real crazies here have turned out to be a pleasure to do business with. But the shady folks, whether they're nice or not, need to be outed.

In today's internet world of constant connectivity, a week borders on too long.

A month?! Barring something unusual like sudden illness requiring hospitalization, that guy has no intent on meeting his end of the bargain.

This... No excuses. Time to cough up the cash!

You could send a draft of what you would post here first as "fair warning" to anti-up or else.

It's his call.

I have little patience for welchers.

"Hello again Dick, With regard to the amount owned for that flux capacitor, please PP funds to me by tonight or I will publish your name and the details of your irresponsibility to the Pelican community. This is FAIR WARNING! Sincerely, Big Jim"

I had a guy not pay me once. I just posted in his 'visitor messages' and figured in the future if someone else was researching him, they would contact me. One person did and I told them not to sell to him, he doesn't pay.

The 'buyer' has stopped frequenting the board and I figure he just joined to scam a few folks and then leave. I was one of the scammed.

If the 'buyer' is a regular poster, I figure you will get paid. If the 'buyer' is new, like mine was, good luck.

[cstreit]

Hey Ill admit it, it was me...

...but what you sent me was well wishes and happy thought. Now youre trying to extort payment for them? The nerve.

Great idea Dipso. I guess a user cannot delete messages like that, eh?

Dude...all ya gotta do is return those "well wishes and happy thoughts" back to Jim (unused) or simply pay the man...welcher! ...get real

Jim...has the "guy" been posting here during this period you've been contacting him? That would tell me a lot as to whether "life" has gotten in his way or he's just another form of lowlife. Karma...

[onewhippedpuppy]

A week with no communication tops, unless it was someone that I had confidence in. I've never had an issue buying or selling here, but I always require payment up front and only buy from regular posters.

I can confirm that.

Gotta be careful on the net. Even P-car forums. Not everybody in the for sale sections is an enthusiast.
