i paid advance 2 days ago to a ql seller for a general aircon.....fixing it to be picked up today.....i also hired and paid a transport to pick it up.but as i was about to leave today to pick it up,this seller person calls n tells me that he now wants qr400 more than what he had sold it to me for.....what should i do....is it correct to first sell a product,take advance and then change the selling rate.so now either i buy the aircon by paying qr400 more or i take back my advance........sadly i lost money as i had already paid the transport guys.......advise plz??

whats the username and telephone number he put in the. the ad can be got back even if he has deleted it. Just ask QL admin to retrieve it back for you.

These kind of cheats need to be taught a lesson.

I had a similar experience. I seen a car and i liked it but the seller tole me he will give me the car provided i pay him 500 more than what some one had offered him and he had taken 500 as advance. I told him that you better sell it to the guy who has paid advance and left. I was thinking , what all type of people we see , how they change for just another 500 , is this all worth and what intigerity do they have.

I suggest do not pay him just get back the advance you paid ,no point complaining , some people have no Intigerity, remember NOTHING IS LOST.

Too bad for you, but I would've withdrawn if I were you. Losing money for the transport is alright for me rather than paying additional money to that unprofessional minded seller. He doesn't even know the basics of business. These are the risks of buying online and negotiating through calls only. Some people are mere opportunists. They should know the word "karma."

There is no way the police can help in this because this guy can tell more lies and convince them that actually you are at fault. These one-to-one dealings have to be done carefully. No advance should be paid to anyone for any dealing unless you know him very well or there is a written transaction. I sympathize with you. It is not only you, lot of people get duped everyday in this manner. So you can only consider this as a lesson and be more careful in future.

from a QL advert, print it out. Go to the Capitol Police Station and open up a case - If you know where he lives, arrive at his place - how did you pay him the deposit?

Don't allow him to get away with it. People like this should be drawn and quartered.

He will just keep doing it to make money - I would lay a theft charge agains him. And yes, I do hope he is reading this.... YOu are a slimey b*stard for taking advantage of people who trusted you!!!!

But its ok.... nothing good will ever come from the money you have paid him.... it won't bring him any luck.

you must prove that you have paid the advance, and all the recent happenings. Sure, ofcourse the officer will call that guy and make this issue sorted out..!

Have a good day..

Forget the QL police, call the real police. 999. Complain and tell them that you agreed on a price and had a deal and then he changes his price.

shubs try callin him from differnt numbers ?

Hope he is not reading all this comments and get an idea not to pick ur calls...? :(

Islamically speaking once a price has been agreed and the sale agreed by both parties there cannot be any changes.because he quoted you the price he should have checked.And had he over quoted you would have the right to go elsewhere.

Now depends on what terms you have agreed to
