Accepted practice for those that take delivery of an item for sale and fail to pay.

I have a member of MS that has something I sold him in June. He has failed to pay. Suggestions?  Thanks

Go there and get your thing, or, go there and get your money.

Mine is reverse I paid and never received item, honesty is getting lost.

This is a pretty small community, and I hope that we can handle this - it's disappointing to start having serious trust and integrity problems.

There are quite a few MS members that post their for-sale items on MS first, often with favorable prices, just because it's a small community and should be less drama than posting on an internet-wide forum.

[Lois]

I agree. Discounted price with me paying postage. Payment only expected with acceptance of the delivery. Excuses post delivery.

Member in good standing prior to this.

Many multiple attempts at communication prior to this public outreach. 

[Lois]

Just asking the mods about any prohibitions on public shaming I guess. 

[toto]

You could quietly reach out to Craig for assistance.  That's my best suggestion that would avoid publicly identifying the individual.

Not sure quiet is the message at this point but thank you. Not trying to disturb the Mooneyspace karma.

I'd make sure he's aware of THIS thread.  And, speaking for myself, I'd rat him out if he didn't pay up after that.

Well, you know what I mean - on the off chance that there's some mixup with a login or whatever, getting Craig involved would help eliminate innocent explanations.

[Lois]

I agree trying to to eliminate plausible excuses. However no pay will be no love. 

[Lois]

If the mods look at the pm traffic there is no mistake in what is going on.

Since June?  So you have waited for 60 days to receive payment?  That is COMPLETELY unacceptable.  This is theft.  As someone that just bought two items on Mooneyspace (check in the mail and PayPal payment) that is really disheartening.  Come on!  Pay up!  I wish you well on receiving renumeration.  Out this person if you don't have payment in a week.  Scott

I’m sorry this has happened Lois. These kinds of situations are a rarity around here. May be best to make details public if all else fails.

 

Edit: I just noticed your location. I lived on Timber Rose Drive when I was in grade school.

[Lois]

The individual was online when this thread started. Has since dropped and I’m hopeful he is aware.

Shad this is a great place to be still.

Glad it’s stil It looks like it’s changed. I logged a lot of racquetball games at the club. Pulled a lot bass and catfish out of the large pond. It was a great place to be a kid. 

[Lois]

Still is. Just a lot more expensive 

[donkaye, MCFI]

I wish real names were required here, as they are on Beechtalk.  It might make this type of thing less likely to occur.

[Lois]

Hack 30 days. Thanks everyone for the support.

If there has been communication, there is no excuse.

I have some issues with some life even got in the way with me or the other person.  But evenutally got settled.
