Onza Kieron Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Just been thinking and I'm sure if he was conning people he'd charge a little bit more seeing as the price is very cheap, the frames are £80 to buy there so £130 is still £50 profit a frame, not bad at all considering we're saving £100+Also other than just trying to pay via Paypal how can I make this secure so I don't get raped/if I do get raped then there is something I an do about it?

Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I was just talking to him on msn and he seems a sound bloke, good English as well.If some other people buy from him and all goes smoothly then I may consider it.....He told me someone from UK bought bash and cranks, guessing this was "rudoxolty"Has anyone actually bought anything from him?

Onza Kieron Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Surely if he can accept Western Union then he can accept other types of Payment so basically, I wont be buying anything unless I can Paypal it or get bank details etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 He told me he can't accept paypal because "Chinese users cannot get the money out of paypal and into a bank account" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would take 40 or so days though but it was only £20 (although i didnt have to pay for anything hehe ), and it was about 4kg so it really depends how they get delivered.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 To be honest, unless your loaded enough to gamble it, its a bad idea. There is absoloutly no way to get the money back if he doesn't come up with the goods. In my opinion this out-weighs the 'but its a good deal' aspect.

gianttrials Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 1. i've bought stuff from china and payed via paypal2. stuff abit lighter than a frame cost £30 delivery from hong-kongit seems abit of a risk 2 memaybe if he was on e-bay it wouldn't be so bad as you can get some kind of back up but IMO its not worth the risk (unless loads of peeps try an buy stuff from this guy an he gets +ive comments/feedback)ben g WST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Seriously, what the f**king hell is wrong with some people on here?'He sounds pretty ok'? Of course he does, hes on the bloody internet telling you what you want to hear, a peadophile sounds 'ok' on the internet...get my drift?Can't transfer funds with a chinese paypal acount? Bullshit, theres hardly any country in the world that this is not possible, and china? The biggest exporters in the world can't accept paypal?You're not actually doing yourselves any favours here, you may loose all your money and you'll then be crying about it on the forum wondering why you bothered to take the risk. And if your frame snaps in about 2 days, good luck getting another one.Stick to tartybikes, they're the best shop in the UK for a reason, and they're keeping trials alive in the UK, so I think that is just cause to support them. Ok you're paying the little bit extra on a frame... but at least you know you'll recieve what you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 2. stuff abit lighter than a frame cost £30 delivery from hong-kongBut that was by ship at a guess? It takes such a long time that some other Chinese scam artist (seach chit-chat for "Bianchi roadbike") took advantage of that and put up lots of +3k worth bikes on ebay for pennies. Paypal accepts returns within 45 days of purchase and he wrote that shipping would take 40 business days. Easy to calculate how he could get away with sending nothing even when payment was done through PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Just buy your parts in Tartybikes, most of you have part-time jobs so spending an extra £100 or so on a frame in the UK isn't that bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
