Blimey. I pm'd him to see if he wanted to do some spraying work for me. Glad he never responded.
Who'd have thought it?

We are aware of the complaints with SV_rory and keeping an eye on him. So far he has resolved all the issues that I've contacted him about, but it seems from this thread that there are many more. Fizz wrote to him yesterday about Joe Marcon. I had to sort out one regarding Richsv650 and that was only resolved after a threat to ban him. Mods and myself have to weigh up the arguments on both sides in these disputes but it's becoming clear that the evidence is stacking up against him.

At the moment we are giving him limited access so he can respond to complaints but not post new items.

More later
John

I'm not keen on banning members(they just come back as someone else to try again), but a permanent restriction on selling items for this chap would perhaps be best all round. I'm all for having the benefit of the doubt and trying for resolution. Especially as he has done it several times over recent years.

20quid these days is a lot for some folk to lose, in Joes case....that's very bad firm indeed and doesn't shine a good light for new members trusting sellers here.

As John says, we're waiting to hear back from SV_rory, in the meantime I've restricted his access to the forum completely. He'll be able to respond to PM's and send new ones, but he wont be able to post anything on the forum itself.

I'm hoping this can be resolved quickly and amicably, once done then we'll review the situation. At the moment I would like to ensure that the people involved get their money back and thats what we're focusing on...

Unfortunately we dont have a magic wand we can wave. I would suggest though that using paypal and gifting people money that you dont know, is probably not a wise choice as IIRC once done, you cant lodge a dispute with paypal to get the money back...

ok thaks for all your help , looks like iv lost £35 for a seat cowl i will never see , and i do agree you should not send payment as a gift , but i was asked to , this way i picked up tab for purchase , not seller , thats why i think people ask us to do that , im more disapointed that i havent got the seat cowl , to finnish of my bike , as i took of the seat , and gave it to a org who was after one , for free, my fault for jumping gun i know , but then i trusted sv-rory as he was an org on here , so now i will have to save up and try and get another one , so i can get my bike on the road , im just hopeing no one eles gets ripped of by him again , as £35 is a lot to me , any way thanks again for all your help
