Dodgy Snatch Strap - Need Help with Ebay Seller

[MudRunnerTD]

Well I heard back from the Buyer of the Dodgy strap.

Dear sirlezzz,

G'day mate, My name is Darren and i contact you as a Very Concerned 4WD Trainer. The ARB Snatch Strap that you have purchased recently is beyond its service life. IT IS A DEATH TRAP. It will kill someone. It will Break if used. I begged the seller to remove from auction and got silence. I posted the item on a forum and many members also messaged him to remove it, He did nothing and remained silent. It was reported to Ebay countless times and should have been removed. I BEG YOU NEVER TO USE IT. This is NOT A JOKE! Please feel free to call me any time to discuss this 0414 375 XXX. That snatch strap has been very heavily used, it should have been thanked and retired. The seller obviously knew that because he replaced it?? Please leave him Negative Feed back and throw the item in the bin for the sake of your friends and family. If it breaks and that shackle comes through your back window at 200km/h someone will die. Also remember never to Snatch off a Tow ball. I BEG YOU, BIN IT!

Well i got a good response from the Buyer and here it is

Dear 77gnomes,

Hi Darren thanks for the email

well after buying I feel like a mug who should have known better
it did have the marks showing it had been used
but not until you get up close do you realise just how compromised the strap is
appreciate your candour and sense of responsibility for passing on the warning
he was scottish I wonder if that is why he wanted the money for something that is useless for its purpose
rest assured it will not be used for snatching in any way - not even going in the truck
might be good for hold down straps on the boat/trailer if I cut it up
But again many thanks for taking the time to send an email
appreciate it
Les
PS do you really have 77 gnomes??
must be some front yard
