Refer here to my thread.

I have this someone reserved my item of RM250. I ask for a deposit of Rm30 to reserve for the item in case of ffk.
So after couple of sms and all, I receive his Rm30 deposit.

I am in Penang and will travel to KL every 2-3 weeks for work and after the confirmation, but since I'd just got back from KL so the next turn will be in 2 more weeks time. But somehow I found a friend is going to KL for a short weekend trip and I decided to tumpang his car and by the way pay him RM50 to compensate him a bit. I must make it clear that I did not go to KL entirely just to COD with the buyer but it does affected the decision. Since I will go KL again 2 weeks later on company claims.

The buyer sms before the COD that he didnt want the item anymore but I already paid my friend and I went to KL anyway. Dont want to FFK my friend.

During the period, rejected tons of possible buyer telling the items is reserved and during the weekend i was in KL. Someone in Penang offered a good price but to COD in penang immediately. I was in KL.

I am disappointed with his ffk and it causes me a lot of inconvenient. It could have been a done deal by now if not because of him. But what pissed me off is when he ask for his deposit back or maybe trade my CPL with the deposit.

He even posted a link http://www.moresales.com.my/catalog/entry/nethrtsq.shtml and telling me the KEEP CPL worth RM42.
Seriously we have a whole lots of thread and past sales in LYN to refer to but he chose this lousy sites to show as a reference. The item in the picture is clearly a p'shopped one to take out the "brand name" and clearly fake/bogus item.

So as the title stated. Is it wrong for me to forfeit his deposit according to the rules of regulations of LYN trade zone.
Even if I have to refund for the deposit, I will only do it after my item sold. Isnt this fair?

forfeit his deposit..thats the purpose of deposit anyway........

is up to you bro
if u want to clear this matter just refund back the money
if u feel sick just keep the deposit
thank you

the reason why we take deposit is to reserve the item for the buyer and to secure ourself as seller that the buyer is commited to buy the item.

if he FFK, it is rightful for you to keep the deposit as you already make a trip down to COD.

yes..that's what deposit called for...keep it..should ask him 30% instead...u are doing nothing wrong...cheer up,bro!

Deposits not refundable. I hate FFKer. Somemore you're coming all the way from Penang just to COD with him! Let em die. We support you!

u should ask rm50 for deposit..

can cover ur cost go down to kl.

deposit is to secure the seller in case of FFK,
and also the buyer to reserve the product.

it can be forfeited if the buyer FFK last minute.
no arguement will arise if u take the money.

agree...hate ffks...

deposit is to book the item so that you wont sell to other buyer...if buyer not interested anymore, deposit forfeited...

of course if it makes you feel better, you can give option if you want... eg tell buyer to find a buyer for you..

to me, just forfeit lah and move forward....

forfeit the deposit! next time state in your thread that deposit is non refundable and you will hold item for a certain time (e.g. 1 week)

yea u shud forfeit it

IMO, you should forfeit it to give lesson to the ffks. You must be strict with this kind of people.

agree..ts, u should do so. hate tis kind of FFK ppl.. rubbish
