Yeah, I would buy from people who've been on here long-term. Just really annoyed that I got caught. I've spoken to a solicitor friend and it's more hassle than it's worth really and nobody seems near enough, or interested enough to go round there.
Just go to let it go I guess. The main thing for me was to warn as many people as possible.

It's not a common law or suing issue. It's theft. That's a crime. Police deal with crime.
All that needs to be done is report it to your local police station, that could be whatever force. They may then make contact with the other force, Surrey to carry out investigations on their behalf.
Your call, but it's like everything these days ... people can't be bothered, so nothing gets done and the criminals keep going, and people continue to get hurt or ripped off.

I also got caught out by this guy, and while it's annoying, in 6/7 years of buying and selling odds and ends on Rover and MG forums this is the first time anything like this has happened.
As to paying a visit, I would drive all the way from South Wales to Surrey, but we also have a landline number for him which is disconnected, so it makes me wonder if the address is actually his, and wether he would be there.
Interesting info about reporting it to the local police, if I reported this to South Wales police would they persue it, or just give me a crime number and file it.

They'd give you a crime number, and are duty bound to investigate. They would probably forward details to Surrey, for them to do the visit etc. The best way to take it forward would be for one "victim" to collate the details and then present the offences to one force. They lead on the investigation with multiple victims, rather than multiple forces doing their bits seperately.
Surely someone from Surrey could report it and that force keep everything to themselves....

I'd listen to Dan if I were you guys, that is perfect advise. Would prevent the guy repeating this somewhere else.
