Tackle-Trader is like any other classified/auction type platform whether its Loot, Adtrader, a fishing forum or even Ebay there are people out there looking to fleece you. You don't need me to tell you that.
If an item seems cheap, at the very least and before you commit to sending money you must ideally talk to the seller first to establish who they are and where they live.
We all love a bargain and there are genuine bargains to be had, just be careful. I have said before and we all know.... " If it seems to good to be true it probably is" so at the very least contact the seller in person and don't just rely on messages via the site.
At the very least this is what you should be doing when buying on here or any classified platform............
1. Ideally meet in person prefably away from you home address.
2. Speak to the person on the phone. If that's not possible then you need to be doing more checks to try and verify that the person your dealing with is legite.
3. Google search on the telephone number, you will see if it's been used to sell stuff on TT or other sites.
4.If the item is being posted the best form of payment is Paypal as a goods payment, you do have some protection this way.
5. Bank transfer. You need more than just a sort code and account number. Full name, home telephone number, home address, I would even consider a voters check on the person. www.192.com (its not free but will give you peace of mind).
If someone asks payment to be paid into an account that isn't the same name as he/she has given then you need to ask why.
6. If your not sure about anyone on here just ring me on 07701 054 538 I'm happy to speak to anyone.
Paypal.....I'm not against gift payments through paypal as I prefer it myself, however, if you are going to gift money only do it if you know the person and again at the very least have all there details, full name address home telephone number. If there is a problem its unlikely that you will get your money back without having to get the police involved or taking a civil action against the other party. The same applies to a bank transfer, you need all the persons details you can get. I CAN'T give out details unless its for the police because of the data protection act, so you need to obtain all the relevent information.
People asking for ....... DEPOSIT PAYMENTS
If picking up from an address there is a chance that after making the deposit you will go to the address given and find they know nothing about the deal.
If someone asks for a desposit before you pick up, they normally say that they have been messed about before hence asking for the deposit.
Again ideally paypal payment, if a bank transfer you need some more details from them like home number etc and like above when paying via bank transfer. Number 5 above.
PLEASE....
If any of you see any ad on here or receive any message that you think maybe a bit dodgey contact me. I will have a look at the user and check his details. I'm also willing to tell anybody the history of any user. The site is setup now so you can see how long a user has been a member and how many posts he has made. You can also view all his older posts regardless of thier status, ie sold, closed etc. Just click on there username to view these details.
If your'e still not sure about someone just contact me and I'll tell you thier history..
I will not give out any personal details (Data protection act) so please do not ask me.
IF YOU SEE ANYTHING ON HERE THAT YOU THINK IS NOT RIGHT THEN PLEASE RING ME AND I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT IT.... ALAN.....07701 054 538.
As always thanks for your support.
