My this post is to alert all online seller that never ever giving out your trust too easily.
This Marcus Ng bought a full set of omin snooker cue from me few years ago, at that time I collected full amount before I post the items to him, that was a nice transaction. We become friends although we never meet each other until now, for few years, we talk about works, he told me about his Thailand girlfriend and etc.
Few months before he told me he wanna upgrade his cue, I was happy to help him, so both of us agreed that he trade in his old omin cue set, and I sell to him Jason Owen #165 including short and long extensions and a cue case. He is a Malaysian, hometown is in Bukit Mertajam, but he is working in Papua New Guinea as a cook chef, he came back during Chinese New Year 2015, he delivered the omin cue to me the next day after he arrived in Malaysia, that was few days before Chinese New Year. He requested me to deliver the cue to him on specific date because he was at home for few days only, I agreed...... I posted the cue before I receive his payment, I thought he can be trusted because we were friend and it was his second time purchase, it seems I'm the stupidest seller of all times, this is my very first time to trust a buyer and I'm sure and I swear this is the last time as well.
I chased for my payment for over 4 months, in the beginning he still replied my messages, he informed me he received the cue, he informed the payment is on the way, bank takes time, he told me he back to work in Papua New Guinea, he told me his job have difficulties, he told me he will make payment ASAP. End up, he started to ignore my messages, he blocked me in Facebook, he blocked me in whatsapp.
Amount that he owe me is RM1,850.00, is not a big money and is also not small to me. Losing money in this deal make me up set, but the thing that make me frustrated and sad is losing my trust to people and also losing a friend.
Sharing my experience is to alert all online seller, never ever do what I did, sending items before u receive payment, this is the most silly things to do in this trades.
I'm sure many of u had this issue as well, feel free to comment in my post and alert others.
