I have had a PM from Tarn and she gave me the details she was given. I did a little search and they came back as -

Aberystwyth Recycling Centre > aberystwyth recycling
Unit 5, Glan Yr Afon Industrial Estate, Llanbadarn Fawr, Aberystwyth, Dyfed, SY23 3JQ
01970 636926

Now I run a huge Materials Recycling Facility in Cardiff and I have heard of this company, but no way would you run a watch business from there.. This is starting to smell very bad IMHO. I have also called the numbers on Lee's web site and can not get an answer. As well as this the mailbox is FULL so can not leave a message :roll:

Sorry Tarn but it is over 170 miles away from where I live so a little far to pop around for you.

I'm not doubting there's clearly an issue here, but I still find this really bizzare.

The "swisswatchstoreuk" eBay account has 1228 feedbacks, all at 100% positive, with Detailed Seller's Ratings at no less than 4.8 out of 5. It seems really odd that someone would ruin what is clearly a decent web-based business for £6K....... and then also run the gauntlet of falling foul of the law for it too. Doesn't make sense. :huh

Well as I say, I'm very interested in how this pans out, and I just hope it all ends well for everyone involved.

Well, if it was done to 10 people and not just one, the dollar amount would escalate pretty quickly. I'm not trying to jump the gun and say he split with the money. But even if there is another more reasonable explaination, it's still NO way to run a business ;)

It'll be interesting to get the other side of this.

Glad to hear that contact has been made, hopefully it will be resolved successfully.

I would think that with this much negative buzz, we will certainly hear the other side eventually ;)

Actually I contacted Lee about a week ago, and I received NO reply from him.

Its strange. I've done business with him and so have lots of people here and he's always quick and good to deal with. I don't know what to say, but I am going to temporarily suspend his advertisements and remove him from the trusted dealer list as I am not getting any response from him either.

I do have Lee's address and other personal information (assuming it has not changed) so I can provide this if it is necessary.

I am also moving this to the Feedback forum as that is where this should go.
