Hi,

Some of you have kindly responded to my moaning in the forum about this already. I bought an item on ebay with the German seller Laconic Records, the delivery company DPD messed up and delivered the package to an unknown address, and now Laconic Records will not answer my communications (Also PayPal will not refund my payment). My money seems to have gone down the drain.

I'd like to make sure that this doesn't happen to other buyers, and spread the word about both Laconic Records and PayPal's mishandling of the situation. Which is where you, potentially, can help:

If you have a blog or website, publishing a hyperlink to this post using the link text 'Laconic Records' would be very helpful. This needn't be a full blog post, it could be a small footnote eg. "In other news: Mormo is having some trouble with Laconic Records".

If you decide to do this, big thanks in advance!

(Laconic Records guys: if you're reading this please contact me so we can sort this out, my email address and phone number are included in the emails that you haven't replied to)

my blogs are at #1 for google.nl, and on google.com they come in 2nd and third. Links from some uk sites would linkely boost the co.uk rank ;)

im wondering whether the discrepancy might have something to do with google's 'smart search' where the results are tailored to your search history, i'm not sure if i have it turned on or not!
