Buying from Bongo is a bit different to buying a bike from "some guy called Michael in Lincs."

Everyone knows Bongo...

Good luck though buddy

Just thought about it, go and beat him.

Forget all this report to PayPal crap, just go and get the money or cause damage to the value of - Not politically correct I know but you'll feel better.

Does anyone know if i get the money off paypal. All i could understand from it was; If he has money in his account they wll pay, if not they wont????

Neil

Yeah that's right. All paypal can do is just not allow further transactions from that account until the money has been paid to you first.

If you have any details of this guy (i.e where he lives) then what you should definately do is go to your local trading standards office and you can get some pretty good information from them; they're primarily there for like regulating high street shops etc., but they can help out with eBay transactions between individual sellers and buyers, so hopefully they'll be able to help you as well.

What I imagine they'll tell you to do is to take it to a small claims court and sort it out there. (You do something like go to your local courtroom, and buy this special form for like £50, fill it out and then get it filed, and then eventually it will be heard in a small claims court)

Defaintely don't rely on paypal though. Like someone else has already said, they're customer service is terrible, and you'll end up getting more stressed when you're being put on hold for like 10 minutes at a time.

Just to update you guys;

The paypal account used was his friends. His friend didn't want his account to get into trouble so he went to see Micheal Harrison. He got the bike packaged up and sent it.

In this time paypal has refunded me £126.43 of the £275 i sent. So for the bike i'm paying £150 ish

I recieved the bike today only to find;

1) The bars he gave me didn't fit the stem

2) No mounts or boosters or bolts

3) No bolt for the break

4) The rear cog on the wheel was oval

5) The front freewheel i swear was not 36 eps and was a lil bent

6) Chain wouldn't move

7) Top cap was dodgy

8) Frame was dirty :angry:

I guess i have a Zoo Python frame 1045, some nice rims (ronnie), maxxis tyres, monty stem and forks, nice 06 HS33's, muscleman cranks (N) . But this has been so much hassel and effort. A lot of phone calls. I am not going to ask for paypal for any more money back but i'm not going to give him the money i recieved back. I think it's fair.

I think this "Michael Harrison" should be banned to stop him doing this. I'm surprised nothing has happened before considering his past on this forum

Well looks like i will have to buy some stuff, if you have anything you need to get rid of PM me. I will be checking refs <_<

Neil ;)

PS i had to take apart my stock parts to build up part of the bike. When i put it together i pedal the wheel and it gets stiff :S whats all that about? I think the rear hub is shot. So i have no bike to ride until this is sorted (N)

Sorry to hear about this mate. I was hoping this thread would be put to rest.

The guy who ended up sending me the bike (Michael Harrison's friend), seemed to be an ok guy. But i think the reason for him sending the bike was because his paypal was being used. If you wanted to get in contact with him i think his addy is biker_one@hotmail.com. If you need any info just PM me. Hope everthing is ok and you can get some things back.
