Tumbleweed Posted January 14, 2015 Share Don't you have a leg to send on as far as the cpa is concerned? CPA only applies to people who sell stuff as their business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted January 14, 2015 Share AS SAID ABOVE, you borrowed the money for it (wont go there) the person you bought it from could have used the money already and is not in a position to pay you back and feels *** to tell you this, having said that i would refund someones money if they not happy THEN AGAIN THATS HOW I WOULD DO ITothers would say you should have made sure yourself, future purchases ask the seller to take it to a trust worthy bike shop pay them to look over it and then pay.as far as your "legal route" it would cost you more than the bike and you still wont get your money,,,,,,,ask nice and hope he has the funds to repay you otherwise you pretty much stuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton - theCOW Posted January 14, 2015 Share Did the Seller give you the measurement? Was it obtained from the bike's geometry by yourself? The Seller should be willing to refund and the bike shipped back i'd say at your cost. Use the feedback section as well, it helps show who are good people to deal with.

Red Zone Posted January 14, 2015 Share Zuma will probably pay back the money before the seller of your bike does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donovan Le Cok Posted January 14, 2015 Share His name is marthunis Jacobus Profile name : Tinus.d The frame is a Giant compact frame. It even says ML on the frame! I dont know how any one can sell it as M???? From the advertisemnet one could not see the ML sticker.And on his adevert it said M and 50cm. Complete Lie! http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/tcr.advanced.0/9006/48836/ It clearly states M and ML I have even offered to pay courrier services to send the bike back and he has refused! Please if anyone can give some advice on this, it was my dream bike and had to borrow the money to get it. Thanks If you go into his profile and his market place the advert states bike size M/L and 54cm. The advert hasnt been edited so its not like he changed it after you contacted him. Strange...

The advert hasnt been edited so its not like he changed it after you contacted him. Strange... original.JPGI did the same thing. No ambiguity in the ad. Almost seems the OP bought it faster than he read the ad... Possible scenario at OP's home:Wife: Lovie, where did that bike come from?OP: Err, was a present from a friend in GautengWife: Nice. Who?OP: Boo hoo, I lied Lovie. I borrowed money and bought it cos I WANT IT.Wife: Well, send it back and get your money back. We can's afford to repay a loan!OP: [quickly places ad on the Hub and follows up with this thread] But this is probably just my over-active imagination.

Guest Smimby Posted January 14, 2015 Share It looks like the OP asked the seller to give him the seat tube length, which "could" be 50 depending on how the seller measured, but it does not look like the OP read the add properly. To the OP... the difference in the two frames is REALLY small unless you are on the lower end of the Medium scale. The Toptube is only 1.5cm shorter. and the seat tube 3.5 cm (if the size = the seat tube length) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
