KD9AN - Unreliable buyer

Post by WA0RCX »

Called on phone to enquire about radio.
Once decided to buy asked me to remove item from QTH.Com; I did.
Even said check was sent yesterday.
I had to relist the radio on QTH.com since no money arrived.
This caused two missed opportunities to sell.

HUH !! Said he mailed Check (sent) Check yesterday and your already complaining. If he sent it over nite via USPS where you live has a bearing on whether it is a next day delivery or not. Something is not clear about your complaint and neither is it clear what your call sign is if you have one.

Personally i think messages like yours should be deleted when no call sign is used. Scott is it possible to delete complaints made by those not using there call sign?

OK Jerry i found your ad and you used your call on it WA0RCX ,so why not use your call on here?

Jerry most of us want to know it's a Ham making the claim whether good or bad,as it makes the report i feel more reliable. Glad you gave the date it was sent as you wrote it like it could have happened yesterday. But mailing during Christmas Holiday is always a gamble without buying proof of delivery and in the buyers case insurance so as to be able to have a idea what happened if indeed they did mail a check or pkg. I can speak from yrs of experience as i'm retired from pkg delivery. Good luck on selling your radio.....Larry Huff K0pd

I see he is using his callsign as his username here on the bulletin board, which is good enough for me.

For anyone that is NOT using their callsign as their username, it would sure be helpful if:

1) You said your callsign somewhere in your posting. Or, even better...
2) You change your username to your callsign. This is done by clicking "Profile" on any page, then you will see you can change your username there, and you can hit SAVE.

Thanks Scott and there should now be no excuses as you've laid down how to do it.And Jerry was classy enough to remove the handle or the name he used JAKE and replaced it with his call.
