[Closed] At what point is it ok

[i]This is why I am at a TOTAL loss over the whole situation... [/i]

You simply took too long to send the wheels, had a load of excuses, have history, etc, etc.

Why on earth should the OP apologise? What a bizarre request.
" Here are your wheels! You get them late with poor communication but you got them so say sorry."

mboy - your indignation here is entirely misplaced. You haven't had 'flu' or there's no way you'd even consider going out on a bike ride (or even be posting on STW). The OP has done nothing wrong at all and has no need to apologise - it's you that should be apologising (and not the kind of apologising where you tell the other person it's actually all their fault, like you're doing here).

I always thought you came across as a bit of a know-it-all tool and this thread has confirmed it for me.

In my opinion it looks like the OP didn't really have much choice but to publicly air their issues with the service they've recieved as it seems to have been the only way that she's been able to resolve the issue. Look at the number of threads that have been on here about crap service from the likes of Planet X etc. so saying she's out of order for bringing it up is laughable as it would mean everyone of us who have moaned about crap service from companies shouldn't be allowed too.

To continue to slate her after it appears resolved is both petty and childish and not doing you any favours in attracting future buyers for your privately sold stuff on the classifieds.

Lordy, guess who I wont EVER be buying from on here?
Talk about about trying to put the blame on everyone whilst accepting none yourself?

I think mboy is just one of those people who go through life completely incapable of believing they can do anything wrong and everything that does go wrong is someone else's fault, we all know one!

How about "sorry for doubting your sincerity"?

You mean like where you suggested the OP is setting you up for a scam (despite you being the one who took money, didn't send the item for ages, and didn't respond to emails)? Don't think I've seen you apologise for that.

The OP has been entirely rational/reasonable in their posts, unlike you.

One for mboy

This is our Peanut Gallery.

I once got a thread posted on the classifieds asking whether I was a scammer as the item hadn't arrived one entire day after payment. That was unreasonable.

I'm not getting involved otherwise, I have previous for being slow...

(actually, having read more, I will get involved- mboy is being a bit of a jebend. Stoppit.)

You, know I'm increasingly coming to the opinion that it's none of "people's" business.

Mboy [s]blaming the OP and slinging muck at what they may possibly do in the future...[/s]nevermind, but maybe time to stop digging eh?

TBF mboy is busy [url= http://deejaymboy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/dj-mboy.html ]most nights[/url]

The thing I'm taking away from this thread is the phrase 'The Peanut Gallery' and the fact that I'm apparently in it.

It's made my day (really - it's a great phrase and sums up a lot of what happens on stw)

this reminds me of the time I bought some wheels on the classifieds, they took a total of 5 weeks to arrive.
this was after I got the guy's phone number (from a bit of digging on here) and spoke to his mum, then him, with my best Salford "I've got a shootoh" accent.
He sent them via Royal Main in a binbag, the dozy ****.

^ oh Deere 😀

^ Oh dear 😀

OK, I've calmed down somewhat now.

I don't take particularly kindly to being called a liar. As you can see the situation resolved itself before it even had a chance to arise. On Friday, I re-organised the pickup of the wheels following our email conversation (in which I will reiterate I apologised and it wasn't met with any protest).

Prematurely, I believed the matter to be (at least partially) resolved.

What happened next completely blew me away it is fair to say!

You mean like where you suggested the OP is setting you up for a scam (despite you being the one who took money, didn't send the item for ages, and didn't respond to emails)? Don't think I've seen you apologise for that.

I have friends who run ebay business, and are subjected to scam attempts like this far too often. It was wrong of me to rashly accuse the OP in this way.

This was written in the OP's email to me yesterday...

As I've said, if/when the wheels turn up I'll cancel the paypal dispute and post up an apology if you like.

OK so the paypal dispute has been cancelled... I've calmed down and made my apologies...

Can I clarify that I was apologising to the forum in general for the fuss and palaver, not you mboy? Ta.

Belting wheels though 😀

*opens another bag of peanuts*

Fair play Kayla1 i say, job well done 8)

I have no useful contribution to make (just)

[i]I don't take particularly kindly to being called a liar[/i]

As I'm sure the OP doesn't take too kindly to being called a scammer.

But you've apologised, kind of.

Still wouldn't buy off you though.

heh, when did that start getting auto corrected?!? 😀

Surprisingly tricky to find, this.
