Wouldn’t count on it , chap on a Facebook group I belong too tried that and got booted from Comrades , apparently the weasel from ‘crates’ is admin there now !
I have never used WC but looking through the website it always seemed very suspect to me. Everything was jumbled up and I doubt anyway could make heads or tails of it. I am glad that it is gone, at least this way people wont be screwed over (as much) anymore.
Now we just need to make more people aware of our classifieds as at least it will be ran correctly.

Still waiting on my refund for the gun I bought a week ago that the seller decided to not post or contact me about. Supposedly I'm getting a refund but will just keep hounding and if needs be file small claims. Glad to hear you got a refund Archer, I saw your posts on the message board on there before the site was taken down

Hmm, do you actually have anything like a written contract with Zac Grierson or (oh dear) Dark Rhino, a limited company? I ask since he's thrown the site down the memory hole, and the archive of it doesn't seem to have any description of what service, if any, he claimed to provide:

As a matter of public record, Grierson's details are on Companies House:

Best of luck.

Hes only 27 yet he's got 3 dissolved companies behind him & a fourth that he appears to be trying to distance himself from, doesn't look promising for those who are still owed money.
Even the "site sold" bit sounds like bollocks, as he appears to have been financial problems with his weaponcrates services for some time. ?

Luckily I took a few screenshots of the shield feature which shows weaponcrates holds the money for 14 days and also on playercheck that dark rhino is the parent company of weaponcrates.
With the other screenshots I have it shows that i paid money to weaponcrates, they hold the money for 14 days and that I have requested a refund during this time.
If I don't get any response in the next couple of days il be filing small claims against them.

Sadly, do wait. You're expected to take steps to keep it out of court, so do a letter before action first.
I've spent the day collating all the evidence i have and have drafted a letter as required before progressing to small claims court. I will be posting this recorded to their business address tomorrow. The last contact i had from them was that it was with their finance team and they would chase it but i've just heard different excuses since Thursday.
I'm not one to be unrealistic and can appreciate it taking a couple of days to sort out but with them closing the website so fast i'm not willing to hang around. Here's hoping that this letter will prompt payment to be made, otherwise in 14 days i will be filing with small claims against DarkRhino Limited, will be also contacting my bank aswell to look at potentially look at raising a Section 75 claim to reclaim the funds.
Such a shame really that by the sounds of it a fair few people have had the same issues im having, here's hoping they do the right thing and sort everyone out.

Hm. Never makes any filings and then has his companies dissolved due to inactivity/not informing them of the companies starting trading. I know for a fact that two of these did a lot of trade, so that doesn't bode well.

No need to wait believe it or not.
If you have taken reasonable steps to retrieve your money ( in my case, emails/posting on the forums etc) without any success, then you can inform Trading Standards and also raise a claim via the Small Claims Court.
Any undue delays may possibly have an adverse affect on you getting a refund.

I'm still chuckling about his "finance team" lol, I just looked him up on FB , turns out we have some mutual friends so I'm gonna do some digging, my initial impression is that he's a chancer/bullshitter with some I.T. knowledge but poor business ethics.......we'll see 
Yeah me too, considering the payment processing he uses, all he actually has to do is login to his dashboard, find the relevant transaction and press refund. It's literally that simple.
From my experience so far its a new excuse every time and i believe there's only three people at most involved with DarkRhino. Be interesting to hear what you find @Tackle, let me know over PM if you'd rather not post publically.
We shall see what Mr Grierson has to say come Tuesday when the letter arrives at his door. @Archer prior to getting you refund did you contact Trading Standards regarding it?

@scenezx - they were the first call I made - I went via my local Citizens Advice Bureau who advised me to talk with Trading Standards immediately, which is what I did. After that, I set up the Claim online for the Small Claims Court - as soon as the case is raised on their online system , it generated and sent a "digital copy" of the claim. This was then emailed out accordingly to Mr Grierson.
Added to that, I also raised two claims via Paypal by using the "request money" function.
