What is up with BMFA sellers???

[psychosaffa]

Seriously, they list things they want to sell, then when you contact them they just dont get back to you, its just bloody rude!!
if i list something and someone is interested i get back to them as soon as!!
even if the item is sold, most if not everyone on this site would let you know that the item has been sold, not BMFA sellers, Fcuk sakes!!
sorry, rant over!!

Bmfa classifieds are a licence among themselves.

I'm not sure the contact seller works that well, but if they have their email, some people are quite lazy/rude at returning enquiries, or marking items sold.

Given up on the ads on there now. Never get replies, so don't bother looking anymore.

the sellers actual email was listed so i contacted him direct, still proved fruitless, ohwell if the bmfa dosent have the slowest server on earth its has the rudest sellers, thats for sure!!

I hate it when you arrange a buy and then as your about to send payment your suddenly told sorry its sold how bad is that !!!

Not everyone on there is rude. I always reply same day and like you even if the item is sold. I get frustrated at real 'low ball' offers when the item is priced fairly or you list an item new/unused at 30 t0 40% off and someone says that they can buy it from a shop at that price! yea right. I have been modelling some 39 years and do know where the big discount shops are. I know we all like a good deal but...... My point is though I still reply and not in a rude manner.
I had a good one on the BMFA a little while ago where I agreed to buy an item for x price and the seller agreed. Then no contact, when he eventually replied he told me I had been gasumped. Sorry but I honour my deals. Some do not!! Rant over :)

Buy stuff, keep it and everyone stop whinging about eBay and BMFA - don't like them don't used them.

I bought a Trex600 from a chap on BMFA. Excellent communication during the price discussions and helped when I went to see the model.
Its just down to the individuals and the service that they give to fellow flyers.

If you dont like the service then dont buy from them...simples !

Never bought any think of the site as i can be bothered to wait minutes for each of the pages to load !!! ... it is with out doubt the slowest website i ve ever encountered

I am 99% certain that the 'contact seller/buyer' button on the BMFA ads doesnt work. Whenever I have advertised stuff I have invariably had people email me to say they had used the 'contact' button but not had a reply - that's because I didnt get their message. Thinking about it - I have NEVER had a message forwarded by the BMFA site - for that reason I always put my email address in the ad.

Despite what the BMFA webmaster says on the title banner on the site - [B]admin recommend that all users select to hide their email address, ESPECIALLY WHEN PLACING WANTED ADVERTS, this way only registered users can contact you[/B]

I also delete the ad as soon as its sold and I always reply to people - many dont - its just a reflection on society ................

To be honest the site is a joke - its incredibly slow and the feedback star rating system doesn't work nor does the contact system - but its handy and its free - proving that usually get what you pay for!

I guess its better than eBay but so is having pins stuck into your eyes. There are crooks on BMFA just like there are crooks on here too!!

Hmmm - not sure I agree - there are the odd dispute but rarely do we get the intent to fraud of stitch someone up. Plus we do encourage members to be members first and foremost and not use this place as a cash machine. Wherever there is money involved people need to take precautions all the time to ensure they protect themselves. But more often than not the area we have found to be at fault is usually poor communication on the sale and lack of there after especially if there is an issue.
