I am disappointed to hear about your experience, but sadly, I wouldn't expect things to change in general. I am sure there are many good and well-behaved people here, but in my view, people were generally far more civilized/well behaved during the Tech-arena/Techenclave days. Maybe it is just me, but it appears to me that maybe the generational change that has made a lot of younger folks more confident than in the past, has also got them used to not taking time to reflect much. It could be due to declining attention spans, but social media has also got them used to behaving poorly on online fora, to say the least.So please, do not insult anybody like that unless they pester you. And definitely don't before you go through what they write.
Wow you're here since 2007 yet you still encountered sth like this! Would love to know what happened. We are all eyes and ears!I wish to know if there's any way to report behavior by a te member to an admin. Had a very bad experience with a fellow member. Not sure why people behave so rudely but such is life I guess.
yes ! there should be a mechanism to report.I wish to know if there's any way to report behavior by a te member to an admin. Had a very bad experience with a fellow member. Not sure why people behave so rudely but such is life I guess.
Thanks
just for the sake of info..i deleted my address. in my whatspp above posted by the guy in questionHad posted a cpu for sale. Someone contacted me. I showed the cpu on a video. I clearly posted speedpost in my thread but he wanted a local courier so I tried dunzo and swiggy genie ( both didn't work). Can't do more than this honestly.
Was waiting for the payment and this guy starts ranting why I haven't shipped yet. I told him I'd rather cancel the trade as I have a bad feeling. He threatens me saying have you looked at my ratings. I wish him a good day, no abuse, and block him to move on in life. Then the messages start on sms. How immature do you have to be to do such things. He told me he'll post on te which is fine by me. Attaching the wa and sms conv for the mods to tell me where i went wrong. Only thing I can think of is I never asked him when are you paying. I don't like to pester. If you pay I will ship. If you don't I won't bother you assuming you changed your mind ( it reduces the chance of an awkward conv and saves both parties time)
I feel I was saved by God by canceling this trade. If someone behaves like this Pre sale then only God knows how he would behave if the cpu is damaged in transit. And I don't understand how he's doing me a favor by giving a Delhi address. For me speedpost is speedpost. City makes no difference if I have to pack and send by mail. I feel he sold to some one in Delhi and since I didn't ship before the payment he's stuck in some other deal ( just a hunch, can't think of any other reason for this strange behavior)
Still wish him a good day. Hope he finds a good cpu that serves him well
tuje abhi bhi samaj nahai aya what unethical you did. i wish you good luck in life! i tht i would not reply but anywayI will pack and ship it tom after office hours once the payment is done. Will send you the packing video.
Above was my reply to your instructions to pack and send images. I very clearly mentioned I will pack and ship once payment made. As stated, it's best to call of a deal if there's confusion. Why be argumentative about it? Still wish you a good day though now I don't feel like it
Again, I never said anything on the price. Look at the msgs again. Even today I said if you can pickup from my house it would be awesome as packing ki mehnat bach jayegi. Then you started off with how much rating you have ( should I ship without payment being made because of your high ratings buddy?) and telling me Delhi address was for my convenience (hoooow?). Then you say I wasted your time ( again how? Did you pay me? Did you do any extra work which went waste?). Multiple such messages one after the other is why I cancelled the trade. Kindly read the wa convo againjust for the sake of info..i deleted my address. in my whatspp above posted by the guy in question
plus. if so many hundred people who have dealt with me. they can vouch for me.
i have the copy paste line...
"pack and send images with my address on it from all sides. Send me payment details"
Why? do remember i have given 1st deal to many newbies. upfront payment!! but many ol member even have gone missing... after taking payment...
suddenly their dogs get sick. or any family emergency. usually that happens only after payment.
anyway i am done dealing with this guy. i stand by what i write. also he has not given any payment details BTW.
bhai deal nahi karna tera chej hai even if you have higher offer. but just blocking without any reason is not ethical as a forum mmeber OLX thodai hai. here we help each other. Deal/Classified is just a small part of the forum
will not reply any further.
Don't worry about this. Some people never learned lesson.Again, I never said anything on the price. Look at the msgs again. Even today I said if you can pickup from my house it would be awesome as packing ki mehnat bach jayegi. Then you started off with how much rating you have ( should I ship without payment being made because of your high ratings buddy?) and telling me Delhi address was for my convenience (hoooow?). Then you say I wasted your time ( again how? Did you pay me? Did you do any extra work which went waste?). Multiple such messages one after the other is why I cancelled the trade. Kindly read the wa convo again
Wish you a good day
acha! is it!Just curious what's wrong in blocking someone? It isn't unethical since no money was involved.
reason i take my ratings in account is because i can say this with experience that i came across all sort of people. and if people have known me.. i never backed out of a deal.Guys, drop the deal and just part ways. It's not worth it.
From a purely neutral perspective, the seller should not pack the item before receiving the payment. No business does this and honestly nobody should either. I've never asked any seller to pack the item before payment.
That being said, I would say the buyer here was kinda eligible for that sort of privilege going purely by the sheer number of feedback(s) he has. I have never dealt with him but I am sure he is genuine. However, in this case, he should've asked the seller his payment details first. He could've then asked the seller, "Hey, I will not back out. I just want this reassurance that the packaging would be appropriate."
Pretty sure @akg7091 wouldn't mind one bit had things gone this way. If I were the seller, I'd also expect the buyer to bring up the payment method thing from their end.
As to how things ended on WhatsApp, I reckon the seller could've simply said that he doesn't wish to proceed with the deal. And I'm sure @Zino wouldn't have nagged the seller. Blocking is apt only when somebody pesters you.
Whatever happened in the SMS is a spillover from the WhatsApp block. To be honest, nobody likes getting blocked. So it got worse from there onwards.
Let's not vilify anybody. Neither party is a scammer and that's the most important part.
I'm not sure what I am supposed to write next.
seriously! i have given many newbie their 1st deal with upfront payment.I did not expect to see the market section version of "tu janta hai mai kaun hu/mera baap kaun hai" here.
"realize how much rating I have" lmao, that's some sense of entitlement.
