Hi all,

I have an advert for for a car for sale. A member contacted me this time last week saying he wanted to view my car and was going to contact me the next day with his new mobile number he was getting. We kept in touch via email for a few days but then I wanted to speak on the phone regarding meeting up so he could view the car. He never got back to me the following day. I received an email from him via the PH contact form saying that he has sent me countless emails, but has had no reply from me? I haven't had any emails from him and emailed him back this morning, but still got no reply off him. I don't know whether it could be his email program as mine is fine as getting emails off other ppl. Is there any way I could find out any more info on this guy or contact him another way?

Many thanks

Burrito

It's a bit strange that you had numerous e-mails back and forth and then suddenly now are unable to. Since you two communicated before, it doesn't appear that either of you have the wrong e-mail address listed.

I would suggest trying to e-mail him again with your mobile number and see if that helps.


Not sure if there is anything I can do from the PH end to help, sadly. frown

Thanks for the help Matt. I'm sure if he wanted to get in touch he would use the phone number that PH supplied in my ad??

Are you part of PH staff?

How were the various emails sent? Were the emails sent directly, rather than via the contact form?

If so, one of you has an issue outwith PH.

Thanks for the reply Graham. The first enquirery email about my car was via PH, but then we was sending emails via his email provider (rocketmail). There was a time in a conversation where I never got one of his emails and then he forwarded it with the time sent on the email. He was then supposed to get back to me the following day and never. A few days later he sent an email via PH saying he has sent me countless emails and no reply from me? I emailed him back and got nothing?

Saying that though I have inquired about 5 different cars on here asking if they are still available and haven't had one reply back at all and a few of them I have sent more than once?

Definitely not a PH problem, then. Might want to ask the mods to move this to Computers if you want folk to try and figure it out?

What do people like this get out of doing this though?

Everytime I have enquired about cars on here via PH (around 6 cars now) I have got no reply from any of them is there something wrong my end?
