Seems to use other aliases as well. Apparently, offers PayPal, which gives you good protection against suppliers who don't fulfil their obligations - from experience, takes a lot of pain out of frustrating transactions.

"Another name for Stag owners / restorers to be aware of. A thieving b%astard going by the name of karl Jones. Holly farm, New lane, Southport. Pr9 8on. Uses ID of lazyorange on ebay.

Passes off scrap parts as barely used then when you return them, denies ever receiving (despite royal mail tracking) and tries to wriggle out of refund, and gets abusive."

we need to keep naming and shaming these scumbags-makes things harder for genuine people because folk become very wary of purchasing parts without being face to face with the seller
