Has anyone used this guy? Last month I put an item on ebay which was bought by an ebay member KD-TRIUMPH who is the ebay ID for KARL DANDRIDGE TRIUMPH. The guy then proceeded to not pay for it, not turn up when he said he would to collect it, and then not even reply to ebay when a dispute case was opened up. I don´t know if anyone here has used his business before, but I was shocked to say the least and will not be touching him with a barge pole in the future -( I was seriously considering putting many hundreds of pounds of business his way prior to this). If you look at his ebay feedback, it says it all really (and mine has not been added yet) All I can say is, if he runs his business the way he does ebay transactions, he will not be around long...

I sent him several emails, which he replied to with promises that he would turn up on a particular time and date and pay cash, which he did not do. Then when I emailed him again, he apologised said he had been too busy and would turn up the following week and would pay by pal in the meantime. Again he did not turn up, nor did he pay by paypal. By now, the best part of a month had passed and I opened an ebay resolution case, which allowed him 4 days to reply to them with his reasons for not completing the transaction. After 5 days with no reply, I have closed the case and relisted my item and he has a non-paying mark against his ebay account.
I just find it all a bit poor from someone professing themselves a Triumph specialist. I am in the process of restoring a Spitty 6 and am obviously spending large amounts of cash on reconditioning/new/upgraded parts. I was going to put some of the business his way, but I won´t now...

Happens a lot on Ebay. Too many tossers on there [:(!].
If your not too far away, pop down there and introduce yourself [;)].
