I hate getting ripped off!

I bought a product on here from a very well known member and he hasnt delivered my backlinks. I have emailed him numerous times, pmed moderators to ask if one of them could pm him, tried to get my money refunded by going on paypal and requesting my funds back, but still nothing.

The gentleman is on the forum daily because I always check when I get on and see if he has any activity.

To be honest I really want the links he promised, but its just BS that he doesnt even acknowledge my emails or send a message saying whats going on or why I havent received anything. I have also been reading about other members now that he is doing the same too. What actions can I take next? Also, why is there not something set forth on the forum to protect those of us getting ripped off on the forum?

      How about you do your own 'do diligence' instead of expecting the forum to do it for you.

        I am trying to do my part and not getting anywhere. I was hoping just maybe to get a little help instead of protecting the member who is ripping people off. is it too much to ask that if you sell something on the forum to follow through with it? or is this common here? The guy is on right now, but unfortunately I cant pm him because I dont post enough.

          I don't think anyone here is "protecting" him. If you commented on his sales thread after buying you alerted others of his bad customer service which is the proper way to handle the issue. And if you followed the steps through paypal, then it will take its course.

          No one here knows the situation better than you and the seller. We are not in a position to get involved.

          Not passing judgement here, just telling you why the forum rule exists.

          Good luck.

            It is impossible to "protect" you after the fact.

            That said, if he's not delivering, report him. Click the little red triangle to the lower left of the post starting the sales thread, and fill in the details. That lets the mods know to look into it.

      I apologize if I broke the rules, but this forum is the only other place I know how to contact him. i dont have enough posts, so its post this thread or place 20 random posts until I can pm him on my own.

    I think it's a bit unfair to attack the guy by saying you should read the rules, i agree the rules should be adhered to but he's only stating the fact that he has been ripped off.

    Feel sorry for you my friend - I hope you can sort it out with the seller!
