9 unanswered questions including mine "Is this a legitimate auction or are you ripping people off as your feedback suggests?" So why not blitz his auctions with similar "questions" TeeHee

Just wait till Sunday...it is fathers day...something is bound to turn up...??

I have had several cheap cordless drills, Results, Cobra etc...they have been fine. I am sure $30.00 will pick up something half decent at Mitre 10 or supercheap in the week leading up to fathers day.

So I brought it from Jobita (barrie Randerson) who lives in Wellington

we paid for it immediately, and he contacted us 3 days later saying it would be sent out today (August 6th) nothing arrived
We then emailed numerous times with no reply.
I sent him and email last tuesday indicating I would be contacting the Police and within an hour he rung me, noting he has been in hospital blah blah blah and he would sort it out.
A week has gone by, and still no drill, no refund, nothing.

He is trading actively again buying and selling.

I note now he has multiple negative feedbacks noting the same situation

We have contacted Trade Me and they dont seem to be to active, or worried about it.

Im Pissed off about it and I want this mutha fucker on a stake to burn at will.

so, question is is this a police matter?
can I take this cunt to the cleaners in another way?

I realise its $31.00 but its not the money its the princepal.

You could try what I did in a tardme ripoff to bring it to a head when I wasn't getting any satisfaction.

I took the buynow on all of the turds auctions (that had buynows) and bid tens of thousands on all of his other auctions. (about 40 in all). I immediately placed comprehensive negative feedback on all the auctions I had won using buynow (about 25)

.

That set things in motion featuring a few threads that he started in the tardme online community (Which I was notified of by another trader) I had a heap of fun kicking him around in the threads for several hours which turned into a massive dogpile before they all got removed along with all (bar one) of the auction feedbacks which I had placed and his membership was terminated (though his details were left up and may even still be)

I used to visit his page to make sure it was still dead and have a little giggle over it.

Tardme never said a single word to me about it other than censuring and banning me from the online community for the abusive content of my posts. I felt pretty satisfied with myself

Been taken to court, where he attempted to muddy the waters and make out that it was nothing to do with him. New court date was set. He failed to file any required paper work, and never showed on the day of the court hearing. was ruled in my mothers favour, he was given a time frame in which to pay the full sum back yet failed. Went to court again and they were sending someone around to remove a few of his possessions to be sold at auction. Somehow the little weasel knows how to work the system and 2 months later up and decides that he wants the decision reviewed (he sat through his 28 days notice). And yet here we are still waiting to see a single cent from him, meanwhile he's still out there selling cars to people.

Small amount of money. Large amount of money. Doesn't matter. Rip off scum. Fucking hate them.

I'm VERY surprised the trader was able to do this. As a business operator who accepts credit cards I was told very strenuously by the bank a customer has up to 6 months to put in a charge back claim and the bank WILL remove the money from my account and only put it back once BOTH parties had come to a mutual agreement. Sounds like someones bank in this situation has not followed the rules in this case?
