I must say you have been patient and respectful in this regard. I would totally do business with you.

It really doesn't help things, but I hope there's a bigger chance of you getting your cash back than Lionel helping with Francois here.

And this is a reason for some sort of comment or button to indicate deal in progress or red flag etc. I understand hub dont want classified comments, but surely something can be added to indicate the above

There is a "put on hold" feature, but the seller needs to mark it so

I have done my first transaction as a seller using the Bike hub pay method.
AWESOME, @Matthas a winner there.
Yes there is a fee but it is super convenient and not exorbitant either. 3-3.5% I think, was R109 on a R3600 sale.
The add also get marks as "on hold" and "sold" as the process goes along.
Money only exchanges once the buyer is happy.
Have I said it is an awesome initiative.......

It is a struggle to get honest hubber's to remove sold items at times so lets not get too hopeful.....

If this is as you claim "I messed up" I sure would hate to see what happens when you "f@#kup"

To be clear I messed up

There are unfortunately 3 people involved 

There is R7500 owed to all concerned. They will all be paid back within the next day or two.

I feel terrible and every time I read a post it makes me feel worse.

im not stalking as someone mentioned, just don’t want it said that I’m hiding 

I will make this right 

boohoo. 

Why did you take money for the same item from three people? Sounds like fraud to me.

Lay charges. 

The end.

Agreed.

One of the reasons this keeps happening to people, is when it happens to someone they let it go. Yeah maybe the OP gets his money back, but if a scammer wants / needs money, they'll just move on to the next unsuspecting person. Open a case of fraud - even if for R500.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is the process for opening a case against someone for fraud. Do SAPS investigate and prosecute? I cant imagine so but I'm none the wiser in this regard.

trying to see it from the seller's side, as a plausible story.

Due to time frames/communication you could maybe give people your bank details and they dither a bit and then all THREE pay you for it concurrently. You now have that money in your account, and you really need to pay TWO of them back. Instead you buy a bit of time and purchase groceries (or pay back a Wonga payday loan).

 

 

 

I had to Google those Wonga dudes ... my word they are loan sharks of note!

Can`t remember all of the details, but I did make a case against a guy that stole R10k from my wife with a trampoline for the kids.

Basically went to SAPS, made an affidavit with supporting documents.

Followed up to whom the case was handed to, made contact with him.

Provided more details and other cases across SA. The inspector connected all of the cases and eventually the guy was arrested and for my case in Upington, was transported from Gauteng.

The was one document, can`t recall the number that took time, but basically gave the inspector the authority to get bank statements from the bank.

It can be done, but their is sacrifices.

Think this sums it up.
