Maybe this is just ignorance or lack of my own experience as I still consider myself a noob around these parts. I would also be interested in hearing how this is dealt with @Tommy and the Administrative team... seems like more than one example of this going on lately of people collecting money and goods not being delivered. Even if the seller comes back and makes good on this transaction is he penalized? If potential buyers are penalized for retracting a bid which absolutely has happened. How then would this situation dealt with?
This community operates on trust and hand shakes. I understand the disclaimer in the action heading about admin having nothing to do with any part of the auction. But you are involved when restricting someone from the classifieds for a retracted bid.
Same situation with a sales thread that has multiple buyers complaining for weeks of no response from seller after funds have been collected.
I believe it is safe to say that these individuals will be dealt with upon their return and that maybe that should be handled privately. But do members here not have the right to hear the course of action that will be taken? Will this be dependent on explanations of their actions?
Maybe again an amendment should be made that failure to at least communicate in a timely fashion will result in penalty at minimum?
Unfortunately at the end of the day this is about 2 peoples word, seller could claim to have sent said item and no proof is required showing it was actually sent... but this situation and others of accepting money and then absolutely nothing for weeks is absolutely unacceptable.
I own 2 of these samples and willing to send one to @stavman for free, for the sake of all the amazing transactions I have had on the forum. I believe in PCF and will do anything within my power to keep it strong! Also @Ethan is stepping up to the plate by auctioning a CPS cash set and all proceeds will be going to those who lost money on a recent sales ad. I own a rack of nickles and Brie asked me today if we should also offer them in the auction. I am proud to say we will be adding our rack of nickles to his generous offer.
Not making this about us, but these back to back incidents need to be dealt with. I have seen a few newer members respond that this is causing fear and doubt within the community. This is absolutely unfair to the thousands of flawless transactions that occur on this site gentleman, and we can not have a few bad apples destroy the integrity that has been built.
No part of this has been written to ruffle feathers, if asked I will take it down or it can be removed, but there are many looking for answers in these threads these situations seem to be quickly becoming poison.
