Bad Trader alert to : Phil R
For what happened originated here in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=154005Wishing him well for shop, when I asked about a kit Phil R took initiative of sending me a PM in october 3rd 2013. In this general in message he offered me a kit of Trumpeter Richelieu saying that checked his wholesalers and that they have the kit in stock, and for I could ask the kit in his site.
In my very first PM, as answer for his first message, I said that I could only pay with Pay Pal ( his site has banner of Pay Pal service )and that the buttons in his site are not working, that I have no options to calculate shipping and grand total to buy the kit. So I asked him about price of shipping this item to Brazil, in my first message to him I made very clear that destination of the kit was to Brazil.
In his second message, just the day after, on october 4th 2013, he said to visit his shop in the E-Bay ( I asked nothing about E-Bay.....I never buy in E-Bay....), and that he was very excited with the new shop that had forgotten to say he had this kit in his own stash. Well, here I decided to buy this
used kit because this as rare for me, very difficult to find the kit in shops, I had even put some advice asking the kit here in the site............. but well, I decided to go on with the trade, he stated the kit was complete, just wit opened bags. He said about price of the kit, and that he would go to post service to get shipping price by airmail............... In my second PM for him,this same day october 4th I asked him to include some insurance for this shipping...............and I asked him for some e-mail account to actualize payment with Pay Pal ( absolutely unnecessary, since I had already said him I would pay with PayPal only.............. for the second time I was telling him the only way I would pay, so I started thinking he wasn’t reading my entire messages............). So I think he had no reason to think I would pay with International Checks............ Why would he think about it????
Why didn’t he read the entire messages?????
In his 3rd message for me he told total to pay that included some insurance, and that I could pay in the site with Pay Pal and that he would send the kit as I payed.............. In my 3rd message for him I repeated that I need some e-mail account to make the payment via Pay Pal because functions of payment were not working in his site...............that very boring repetition to give instructions to make the payment....................and he doesn’t answer.................. I told him in this message as I had the e-mail account to pay, I would give him my complete address..................
In his 4th message October 5th 2013, he confirms the total to pay and ( believe you or not.............) he gives me an address ( physical address, street, number.......) in UK to send the money............. In no moment of the talk I said I was to send money, I repeated and repeated that it was to pay with Pay Pal ( at this moment I was sure that the seller wasn’t reading my entire messages.......... ) and in no moment of the conversation he told me he didn’t want payments with Pay Pal.............My first message was very clear, not 2nd or 3rd, or 4th, but in the FIRST!
So in my 4th message to him, in October 5th 2013 I told him that I could not send international payment if not PAYPAL...................... this form was the only for me, and told that
his site has the banner of PayPal, so that is how I could pay, and PayPal asks e-mail address to send the payments................ Ever repeating!
In his 5th and final message Phil R said he was very sorry ,and that with regret that he decided not to go ahead with that transaction. He told have been talking with someone who had sent several items to ( my country ...) Brazil ,and some of them haven`t been delivered ,leaving them out of pocket ,and he didn`t want to risk a kit of that value and cost of the postage. And so this is the motive that he took me waiting 3 days for answer, for at the final he gave up his intentions to trade with me.
Please, what I ask is don’t make me waiting 3 days for nothing.
My tradings are very serious.
As this, I have no answer than saying he is a bad trader, and give this alert. He can change his intentions at any moment.
And I think it is a bit offensive to say that is a RISK, and UNSAFE to send kits to my country Brazil. What reasons does Phil R say about that? He says he heard it said by someone, not for his own conclusion. What I asked him in the board, and he never answered is why he thinks this way?
And I told him that I was to tell that for a comunity of brazilians, a lot of people would read that, that repudiates when a seller declares that avoid shipping products to Brazil.
And so I repeat, this a bad trader alert to Phil R.
