I'd like to leave him more than that! Claims he's " an honest Ebayer " !
Told him if he didn't answer my messages I'd sell it to the next person...he soon answered then....!!

So, you spent a lot of money on something which was delivered late with a bit missing and you say:

Hmm, think its rather expensive for a 15 year old engine if it ever turned up. Picked up a very nice 2001 9.9 hp Merc for a little bit more from Ben on Hayling Island. Would you trust you boat with a engine supplied by Dan? possibly just have a long length of rope on board to attach the engine to before you chuck it over the side as an anchor. Do I know him, oh yes, the difference is I went and picked it up so he wasn't getting the cash until the engine and all the bits were produced and he ran it up.

Sorry

My sarcasm did not come fully through.

Maybe I should have said there are 2 chances I would buy this from him. The first is zero and the second is F**K ALL.

He's now opened yet another ebay shop:-

Outboard Gearbox Centre


A tad ironic considering how many times he's not delivered due to 'the gearbox being broken'...

If you have bought anything from the seller and havn't recieved it contact ebay or paypal immediatly. The seller doesn't have the items advertised. Some people have obviously recieved small items such as propellers.

I bought an outboard, mariner 6, I was going to collect however the seller said he was unavaliable on the days I proposed, he insisted I pay through paypal and he would post it. (He sounded genuine). He came up with several stories, one was that parcel force had broke the gearbox.

I made a claim through paypal and they couldn't contact him, so they recovered about half of my money.

Paypal and ebay are now investigating and I've been in touch with other ebay members who have involved the police. If anyone knows where this guy is or who he is please let me know!!

This ruined my september boating, At least I had my trusty yamaha malta, but I couldn't plane. I should not have sent payment and risked my 100% feedback!!!

I should have posted a while ago to let you know i got my money back although it took a while .
I think he got the idea that i was not interested in the law . The fact was he had my money and i was going to get it back .He becomes quite good at returning calls and letting you know what is going on once that is made clear .

Thanks for all the help you guys gave me with details etc .
