QTH.COM Swap Chat

PayPal protection works very well if you use the "paying for goods or services" option and is well worth the 2.9% however you just sent money to a friend or family member. I am surprised at the number of ads on QTH that request friends and family payment. Some QTH ads request a surcharge for using P...

I purchased a rotator controller from Cal, K1CAL. The item was shipped on the very same day of my purchase and it arrived in perfect condition. Cal was super nice to deal with and I would definitely do business with him again.

PayPal does not allow sellers to charge a surcharge however I have seen a lot of ads on this site requesting it. Never buy merchandise using PayPal Friends and Family.

I also received an email from Russ HG3K nancywukids@gmail.com asking "still for sales?" Since it looked like a scammer I did not respond. Unfortunately in the last couple of weeks I have had more scammers reply to my QTH ad than legitimate hams.

I discussed buying an item from AL7F last December. Due to him traveling during the holidays we decided it was best to wait until January to complete the transaction. Communication was always excellent and when Mike arrived at his Arizona residence after New Years Day I paid for the item and it was ...

I noticed Terry, N6AJ's QTH ad so I wrote that I wanted to purchase the item. Terry responded in less than 30 minutes and the deal was complete. It was shipped on the following day and tracking information was immediately emailed. Communication was excellent and best of all the item arrived in new c...

I recently purchased an item from NJ0F. This was my second transaction with Andre, the first was many years ago when he lived in TX. Back then he was KR5DX and I sold him a large item which he picked up at my home. We have kept in close contact ever since. When I saw his recent QTH ad listing a rota...

I have had several transactions with W8ZO, one was way back when ham items were sold in the "Yellow Sheets". Paul is an honorable person and indeed a please to deal with.

I purchased an item that Bob, W2HK listed for sale on this site. Communication was excellent both before and after the sale. He did a fantastic job of packaging using a generous amount of Styrofoam and double boxes. I am extremely happy with the purchase and I would definitely buy from Bob again!. 7...

I purchased a rotator controller that Verne - W8BLA had advertised on this site. After seeing the ad, I emailed a question and within four minutes I had a response. I made an offer, he agreed and I paid with PayPal. This all transpired very quickly and Verne shipped the item that same day. The contr...

Wayne, BB5WT also replied to my WTB ad, stating "i have one up for sell" The callsign is Chinese but the email originated in Kentucky and the grammar is poor. I made KA9FOX aware of this scammer so hopefully he does not bother anyone else.

George Wellborn Jr - WB5XX had an Elecraft factory built KPA500 listed for sale on this site. The ad stated that there were no scratches or dents and that he was the only owner. I replied asking the age of the amp and if he would take PayPal. He quickly responded stating the amp was a year old and t...

I purchased a keyer from Dave, K3DCW. I paid using PayPal and the box was shipped that same day. The item was properly packaged with bubble wrap and it arrived in perfect physical and electrical condition. Communication was excellent both before and after the sale. I would not hesitate to do busines...

I agree. I recently saw an amp for sale and the seller would not accept PayPal, only wire transfer. We agreed on a price but I walked away from the deal because of the payment option and later bought one from someone that did accept PayPal. Yes PayPal is expensive, but it is well worth the protectio...

K8ODH is a club callsign.

Brent, AD7VF contacted me about an item that I had for sale. He made an offer which I agreed to. Brent quickly paid by PayPal and I shipped the package. When he received it he was very pleased with the packaging and condition of the item and surprised me by sending me another $20. AD7VF is a class a...

I recently had two Yaesu transceivers for sale on QTH.com. Shortly after placing the ad, John - N2XD contacted me wanting to purchase both of them. He was unable to pick them up until the following week and we agreed on the terms. I removed the ads and a week later he emailed me to make the transact...

I purchased several Inrad filters from Adam on eBay. The transaction went perfectly, he is definitely a class act.

I purchased an antenna that Tom, K8WDX had advertised on QTH.com. He is a very nice guy and the antenna was exactly as described. The transaction went perfectly.

According to the rules this entire thread should be delete since Rowland Hghts Radio Club was not the buyer.

I thought that the purpose of feedback forum is indicate who are good and bad people to do business with. W5RIM's post is very vague. It does not say what item he sold or what the buyer's callsign is. He did list the buyers name as Ralphy Vegas which I cannot find in the FCC database. What is the bu...

qrz.com does not list any ham with the name Ralphy Vegas or Ralph Vegas.

I can't file a dispute with PayPal as I was asked to enter the transaction as a "gift". I don't think that it is ever a good idea to purchase something and mark your payment as a gift. I would be very concerned about doing business with someone requesting that I send payment this way. You have no p...

In March W6HFS changed his callsign to AA7DP
