I am gonna keep my eye on this thread. When I decide to get a Q9550 I want to use the forums for one. I have never used them so I have no clue what to expect.

and also why dont you just STFU and keep that to yourself? I'm guessing you have been trolled before...and you probably deserved it for being a ************************
 
That was a douchebag move on his part. That definitely deserves a negative rating. You paid him the agreed on price, and he reneged on the deal. He is in no way right.

What the heck are you talking about. I am hoping to learn some things about the FS FT threads from this one.

Dude I just want to know what crazy cuss word has 24 letters in it, because I am definitely learning it and using it my daily vocabulary.
 
well i read a lot on OFF Topic...and i read a lot of smart ass comments...just thought that was one of them that all=)
 
Can you give Neg Rating on a Paypal only transaction? I dont think you can you know! Thought you can only do that with ebay and paypal. Anyway if you can then I think you should.

Might be a Heatware thing. I've never done "official" transactions on tech forums. I think Heatware works like Ebay's feedback system, where you can rate the trader, and build, or break down the trust level regarding him.
 
lol this is what he replys back with

"I've forwarded all of these messages to the admins here and on anandtech. They can deal with you, im done. Good day.I've forwarded all of these messages to the admins here and on anandtech. They can deal with you, im done. Good day."

ahahahahahah

now i am going to offer this once again. I can resend $55 and you send the video card and i take out the negative feedback and put it as a positive or your just going to hate me and move on. I am pretty upset about this. And this is not about the video card its about what has happened


Just thought I would post this up in case you wanted to quote me again on anandtech..

A user backed out of the deal, can I still write an evaluation?

If one party backs out of the deal even after a verbal agreement has been made, NO evaluation can be given to either party. If no goods or money was exchanged, the "deal" is not eligible for evaluation. If you have received an evaluation for a "deal" that did not take place, please contact us.

Now didnt i say i paypal him the moment he sent his paypal email to my inbox on Hard?
 
Hello Anandtech. This is LLoose from Hardforum. Since this thread was made about me, I thought I should come and give my side of the story.

I put up an ATI HD 4870 for sale on Hardforum. I had qtnguyen87 send me a pm asking me for my paypal address. I was out to lunch at the time so I didn't bother to look at his profile. I sent him my email address and he sent payment. When I got back to my office, I checked him profile. He is 5 days old with 0 posts. I don't know the rules here on Anandtech, but on Hardfourms, you have to have at least 50 posts to participate in the ForSale forum. On top of that, I didn't feel comfortable selling my card to somebody who has such a weak account. I have been scammed before and it took me months to get refunded and things to get worked out. With 0 posts on the forum, I couldn't even get support from the admins on hardforum because I would be bypassing a security measure put in place by the admins to protect sellers like me from bad buyers.

I gave Qtnguyen87 a FULL refund and an apology message explaining the situation and he flew off the handle. Unlike him thuogh, I consider PRIVATE MESSAGES to be private, so I will be just sharing them with the admins instead of posting them here like Qtnguyen does, although I wish I could so you could see how rude and belligerent he has been.


As for the feedback, it says..

Qtnguyen87 went ahead anyways and left a negative remark even though no transaction was made (I issues a full refund immediately, there was no "exchange" of anything). This is a shame because if you read my previous feedback, you will see that I go WAY out of my way to make sure that the buyer is happy. I have already emailed a complaint to heatware, hopefully it doesn't take too long before its removed.


Thanks for reading Anandtech users. Hopefully this will help clear my name from the crap this guy is trying to pull.
 
Not sure about US law but in the UK as long as you get your cash back then there is nothing you can do but tell everyone what a D*** they are - so tell everyone and they can save themselves the hassle of dealing with this one.
 
I'd say it warrants a negative. He has the money -- the only thing left on his part is to pack it and ship it out. There is no more "dealing" with you.
Backing out after you have already paid the posted price is pretty dickish.

How does that work with a PayPal payment?

I'm not sure how ATOT became an arbitration forum for deals gone wrong on Hardforum. Can someone explain?
