TDH,
Looking for some insight on seller Russ Rep. When I first started my journey in getting my ESB suit together I would read post of users to losing money to sellers and think man do i really want to do this. Then I came across post of sellers and buyers who had fantastic experiences. It's looking more and more like I will be experiencing the other side of TDH....
Russ Rep has got a great reputation and produces some fantastic work. I have signed up for his items and have been waiting for 3 months now...and no items...I have sent PM's and an email and have received response that items are still being worked on....items on the way....Well its been 3 weeks and items are still on the way. I have asked for refunds and get items on the way...
Buyers: pay for items and patiently wait for their item to get produce. You give the producer the time it would take to produce the item and maybe add a few weeks for the seller to get things in order and also remember they have lives to live. I totally understand the time it takes to wait for an item
Seller: ask for money upfront so you do not have to come out of pocket for materials. You are making a commitment to the community and a bond of trust is created. Your commitment to make props for the community is appreciated. Since the seller is collecting money up front the responsibility falls on your shoulder to initiate the communication. We all understand life situations take priority, but communication is KEY, not excuses to keep the buyers at bay. We know money is asked up front because of buyers backing out. That’s what creates the two way street the buyer makes the commitment and the seller makes the commitment. The deal is solidified.
Paypal: a tactic I see being played out is that the sellers will keep feeding updates. After the 45 day period you have to file a complaint is up you really have no recourse. This is just like sending a money order or Western Union. The seller has full control of the arrangement and the buyer has no recourse.
TDH: Is not responsible for sellers or buyers. They are not in the business to monitor these types of transaction. There job is monitor and make sure the site thrives with a wealth of information. Here is my take. The admins can't ignore the people that flake out and take peoples money. It happens, but the board can't keep a blind eye with out updating and administrating policy and procedures. TDH is aggressive to monitor threads and keep things in order, and it should also do the same about sellers. We all know why people come here. Its to buy gear and learn how to put it together. If a buyer forks up money the seller should have a time frame to produce the product. If not met, refund the money. Sellers that commit to buying, give the seller time to produce and update the process/thread. If money is being taken from users PRODUCE, UPDATE, and DELIVER the goods…
I know the only option I have is to wait…..
and keep waiting....and waiting...
that sucks :angry:angry:angry:angry:angry:angry:angry:angry
