Payment went to a Gillian Mcfaden!!
Mods if it could be arranged, to delete him from the forum.

Prepare to be flamed!
The money was taken by gift or you paid it as gift? 😳
You know that sticky at the top of the classifieds that says 'Read this first!'...
As far as paypal gift goes it's on your own head but that doesn't mean others shouldn't be warned about a thief sharading as one of the many many many good people that operate on this forum.
Cheers for the heads up.
It's true, didn't heed the PayPal Gift warning and I'm now paying the price. Can blame no one but myself, but crewsader only trying to warn others. He shouldn't be flamed!
Bad luck to the pair of you is what I say. You dont expect to be mugged off on here.
PayPal fees are approx. £2 for every £50 - worth the extra for peace of mind.
I've got to admit, I do sell a lot on here & most folk are happy to pay by gift.
But im honest & sell quality stuff.
Crewsader find detailed below email requesting your address as you did not include it, check your email pal
"John Roland kane10255@gmail.com
Feb 6 (7 days ago)
to crewsader
Need your address Nick to post the shorts
Cheers"
I dont see the problem? You gave someone money as a gift. Thats what the term means?
crewsader your shorts have been packed ready to go but unless you reply to your emails requesting address I am not liable for that error on your behalf. Hence I am not a scammer! Just email your address to
kane10255@gmail.com
Tea anyone? 🙂
Paypal the price, then "gift" the bit they knock off.
Takes another what...2 mins.
i have sent you numerous emails with not one reply???
my email is crewsader1959@yahoo.co.uk
The other guy is still waiting for his shorts he paid for over a week ago too?
I will send youmy address again via email, please let me know if you get it!!
It's obvious John Rowland you're not a scammer, though you do only seem to use STW to sell stuff on!
Original poster - jumping the gun here instead of communicating? Emails going into spam folders?
this is the email listed on PayPal that I emailed
crewsader@talktalk.net have now sent you email to one listed above requesting address.
LA LA LA LA
Confusion sorted emails rectified, and Nicks address received.
Burning at the stake avoided! 😀
*puts ginger nuts away*
i have sent gift payments to 95% of the purchases ive made on here in the last 5 years and must of spent 4-6k and happy to say i have never been ripped off. i was sold some brakes that where not what they where advertised to be and had to wait a good while for a refund but happy to say thats about the worst of it on this site. i do know it happens but a quick scan of sellers history and time served and its generally pretty easy to see if they are kosher.
just to correct you john i did buy and pay for the shorts on the 31st of jan, two weeks ago.
Hopefully all sorted now though hey!!!
Pitchfork is dusted off for no reason then...
FFS - dont PPal gift unless you know the person, its v.v.tempting though to try and waive the fees...but like others have said, its only a few extra £ for every £100 you spend on here!
Should i still serve the tea? Biscuits? 😐

ah, the old 'r' and 'n' in close proximity on a small screen reading error.
does sound like the paypal address of the OP is not the one they usually use so weren't checking?

Phew, I haven't been able to sleep since finding out someone paid by gift and was missing their shorts.
Right of to bed now.
Right of to bed now.
Likewise. It's been a long week.
Finally...I can rest....zzzzzzz
Crewsader - the word you're looking for is 'sorry'. You may also consider '... for defaming you on a public forum'
Surely some grovelling should be happening by now????
this always happens when the classifieds dwellers get out into the rest of the forum
Did I miss anything?

Guy bought shorts on the internet.
Seller was slow is dispatching.
Buyer flamed the guy.
Shorts arrived.
Buyer posted a smiley but didn't apologise.
What type of tea are you making, wolfenstein? I think fig rolls again today.
The party's over.
Already!? I had just the Meme.
Should have been here last week then.
I'm not reading all that, but thanks for the warning about this evil scammer!
Kane10255 is it? Righto.
maybe Mr Drac could modify the thread title to;
"I checked the wrong email account and blamed the seller"
(s'what I meant 😉 )
