Where is the trust???, Im disappointed!!! Options

A few weeks ago i purchased somestuffs (cables and shifter) off a member on this site, I asked him to send the items via express postage and he quoted me 150usd altogether. A few days later he sent a pm saying that the money hasnot cleared so he was forced to send them via normal airmail (47.95usd).. I received the items and pmed abt the remaining money (50usd), he never reply even though his last log on was 20th september.

Whats the problem here ppl? Where are the trust on this site? It's sad to say but the number of scammers are inscreasing and the moderators are not giving a foot abt it. We are all here because we have the same passion abt cars, but some of the ppl are taking advantage of that and turned it into scamming schemes.

Fellow 6gcers its abt time we do something abt this sh*t. I dont mind donate a few hundreds to charity but losing a few bucks to scammers just boils my blood. I believe that every buy&sale concerning new member and anyone with 0 or bad feedbacks then the buyer should send his money to one of the moderators (pressure2, doggy, coomer...etc) or someone who has good reputation and once the buyer received the goods the money then release to the seller. Like escrow, but done within our community.

This particar member here I believe is not a scammer but acting the way that he does, one forced to think so.
Im not ranting abt my money, this is for the sake of us and all I wanna do is making the Buy&Sale a lil safer...I cant do it by my self but if we are all in it I think we can put the trust back to this cummunity.
