Martyn:

1) You sure seem to be good at "sticking your nose" in other peoples business on qth.com ...

2) Are you saying you just gave this ham a FULL REFUND and resold the radio already ?

Is this the way a professional business conducts itself ?

Umm you missed the point
1. I believe in trying to help people if they have been scammed by passing on my experiance and methods of getting a refund etc, ok I guess thats sticking my nose in it in a constructive way, and you?

2. I gave him a refund less shipping like our terms and conditions show and that was after 3 MONTHS.

3. umm am I not supposed to resell the radio? hellooo I am a business, after full testing and replacement of the trapped speaker cable heck yes I resold it.

There is your answer.

Quote from above text :
And as you well know, no one is forcing an overseas customer to buy from my company right? knowing full well that if something supplied may not be as expected as after all, this is the internet and people buy blind each time they place an order with not only me but eBay, QTH, QRZ
This seems to be your standard answer for overseas customers. "no one is forcing them ".....

If the radio was missing the front feet and the chrome bail and was all scratched up why not just advertise it as such ? Seems to me like you would save yourself ( and the buyer ) a whole lot of grief and aggravation ? especially when selling to a fellow ham halfway around the world when you know how much the shipping is going to cost ?

And then it seems that it is ALWAYS the buyers fault when there is a problem with radio-mart ?

One only has to read your "feedback left for others" page on ebay to see that out around 275 transactions in the last year you have left NASTY NEGATIVE feedback for other sellers 15 times. You use words such as "BEWARE" "NASTY" etc... And the funny thing is it seems these sellers NEVER had a problem selling to others on ebay UNTIL they sold something to you ...???
( don't take my word for it, go look for yourself )

You want to be seen so badly as a "professional" business but write things like this about others ? In reading your "feedback left for others" I noticed you complained about something you purchased that was "not as described" and were out 40.00 for shipping . Now how do you think this fellow ham in Russia feels when he is out 200.00 ? It is not fair to him and not a professional way to do business Martyn and you know it.

And once again Darryl, what business is it of yours?

And on eBay if some one sends me something not working and not as described then heck yes I will leave a negative as fast as some who left me negatives in the past if they make no attempt to right any wrong doing.

I am not trying to portray myself as being a professional business, we are a professional business.

Darryl you have been on my case for years now, congrats, I am pleased you have time to keep interfering with other peoples business

Sorry Martyn, I must disagree with you. Professional businesses DO NOT treat people the way you do.

quote from donndon ( above post )

HE IS NOT A LICENCED BIZ LOOK HIS COMPANY NAME UP ON ky WEB SITE THERE IS NO LISTING OF A BIZ FOR radio mart ONLY rADIO MART, INC (HIS BIZ BEFORE THEY CANCELED FOR NOT PAYING HIS TAXES)

Radio-mart IS a business, just not a corporation ( and is listed with the Kentucky BBB ) . It is one thing to take someones money and send them something "not as advertised" It is quite another to take someones money and never send them anything at all. Maybe you might take some time to explain ?

Good Transaction

Post by WA9YBW »

I would do business with Martyn again.

I just purchased severl items from Martyn and all was as expected except one item.

I contacted him, he replaced it, reimbursed me for the shipping and reduced the price as the replacement was not as clean as original item.

Martyn was in constant contact with me and was easy to work with.
