Tried to buy a record off sales yesterday, sent email as requested, but no reply. Tried three PM 's and still no answer. This is the second time this has happened to me in a couple of weeks. What the **** is going on?

 

Do you want to sell them or are you just taking the p***?

 

Just bloody rude.

Its the same in wants with replies.

last two I PM'd never came back to me.

Just plain ignorant IMHO.

its aggravating for sure, but some folk do have a life outside of 'Soul Source' you know...

I once answered a sales on here for a record at £100.. and got ignored...then a week later the same seller put the same record up for sale again, this time the price went up to £150

I suppose the best thing to do is, if you put a sale/want up and your going out for the day or at work etc...tell people on your sales/wants post....you can answer people when your back....in order of 1st come 1st served of course.......Rob

The seller probably got back to their computer and found they had a handful or more pm's and thought hmmmm. Not right tho

people are so greedy to the point of being stupid. someone deciding that they're going to ignore all their buyers for an extra 50 pounds, like the same people are then going to PM again. idiot.

No excuses for not replying one way or the other . It has happen to me a couple of times , I think there should be another category in Feedback . Two strikes and it becomes Negative.

I don't know if this happens to anyone else but I don't all ways get a notification to a PM and have found them in my inbox??

do you mean via email John

misread?

Probably one of the dealers who post the same list of records up time and time again(normally double than what their worth),and contribute nothing to the forums other sections.

I have exactly that on a samsung tablet, no notifications, only find them by accident when I go to write one. Half the time I didnt used to be able to write them too on this.

On here?  Never....

Been saying for ages people should have to pay to advertise on Soul Source, especially if they never contribute to any of the forums

No it wasn't a dealer. They are trying to make a living and will always reply. I wouldn't mind if the guy just said sorry I changed my mind about selling, or sorry it's been sold. Just ******* answer.

Mal mate, there is simply no excuse for rudeness. If you got the time to post up your sales and wants and someone has taken the time and trouble to respond, then it is pure rudeness and laziness not to bother replying. I cannot imagine that anyone's inbox is inundated to such a degree that they physically cannot reply to their messages in  timely fashion. People that do this deserve negative feedback.

I do agree Mark, my reply was obviously tongue in cheek.  I always reply, and always be as helpful as I possibly can, I like this forum, I get allot from it. 

 

I offered a free MP3 of a want to folk on here recently, via the wants section obviously, just stated you send something back in return. I sent it to ten or so, all of them downloaded the file, but I haven't heard back from two since, don't expect to now,  guess they did not like the track...and one of them is very well known on the Northern soul scene as well, his ears will be burning if he reads this I guess. 

 

Somebody mentioned including a message in the ad stating if the seller is away and when they return, I see that on ebay all the time.
