Emosh99 Member 260 Member For: 13y 9m 1d Gender: Male Location: Melb Posted 08/09/11 07:54 AM Share Posted 08/09/11 07:54 AM Hey guys, Just need some advice on where to go from here...I purchased an item off a member of this site and that item does not work as promised. I have text msgs to confirm this.A reputable tuner has sat down for a few hours trying to diagnose a problem I had on this item with no luck. To diagnose this problem I was charged a few hours labour (as your would expect). Now my question is, due to the item purchased from this member, is he up for a refund AND paying for my labour costs? If he does not agree to this who do I contact? Australian Federal Police and report a scam or consumer affairs?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't buy it from the site. You bought it from a member.I would suggest talking to Consumer protection and the small claims tribunal. If this thread heads in a direction that could be considered slanderous It will be closed.My advise. Talk to the right people and keep it private. Your chances of a resolution are much better that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
