TradeMe... ripped off!

[Quasievil]

I really needed a electric drill so I went to TM to find a cheapy for the ONE job I had, I found one here
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=395169110

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.

Trade me only want the $$$,fair go proved that last week or so,my account was suspended 4-5yrs ago when I complained about people selling Livestrong bracelets which is cancer fundraiser in USA,and they specifically stated not to be onsold at inflated margins or profit on ebay etc,trademe said we aren't ebay are we,so I told them what a bunch of tossers they were,next thing account blocked,took a while to get back on.

And is basically a fraud charge,obtaining money by deceit means.

What did you expect, look how old that drill is.
I think they made that type in the late 90's.

Why don't you pay him 'a little visit'? As you said it is only $31 but I for one would make the trip.
BTW, always always ALWAYS check the feedback before doing business on Trademe, ebay etc.

Time to start an alternative TardMe service, this one seems to have hit the credibility wall!

Calling all IT nerds .... there seems to an opening!

Just register a whole bunch of boogus trademe names and win all his auctions. Everytime he lists something, make a new name and win his auction. That will fuck him off!

Somebody posted a link to a thread about dealing wit this stuff a while back. The guy got a few grand court costs on top of having to refund the purchase price. Send him a link to that!
