    Good morning guys! I've received a request from the seller to revise my feedback! He obviously didn't realise that what he wrote to eBay would be copied to me so he expects a revision after telling eBay what an awful person I am. He's also told eBay that the [u]amp[/u] was faulty, so he's either lying to eBay or to all those kind enough to ask him a question.

    Oddly enough Warwick, he's just sent me a mutual cancellation request (which I declined) & I made that exact point. I also pointed out that the destruction of his feedback was entirely his own fault.

    I have reported him for non-performance & eBay have issued him with a warning. Wooks is spot on though, I cannot force him to complete the deal although I could sue for breach of contract. Posting here was really just to warn BC'ers that the guy shouldn't be trusted & show them what the real market value of the amp is.

    I won the auction below last night. Within 3 minutes of the auction ending, the seller had refunded my payment & sent me a message saying the amp had packed up just after the auction ended.

    When I sold my Wal I went for a 99 pence no reserve auction. With an instrument that desirable I figured there was no way it would fail to reach an acceptable price. I ended up getting double what I'd bought it for.

    [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1346173661' post='1786128'] They have sales taxes and s/h goods requirements that vary between states, so might be fair. [/quote] Ah, I've seen instructions about additional sales tax for some states but never a blanket ban. Maybe he didn't like Raiders Of The Lost Ark?

    Be fair, these are "2000 grand" new!

    Is this the gloss finish? Oh & there's a 36 hour bump rule now.

    You can still leave feedback after a mutual cancellation & the seller can still claim their FVF refund. My guess is a ghost account or friend doing some shilling. Still, "concavity"
  11. Ashborygirl
    Indeed & that is an issue with eBay, loads of rules but little enforcement. It's the same with "advertised elsewhere", "postage at your risk" & "no refunds" - all break ebay rules.

    It's not possible to end an auction that has less than 12 hours to run, regardless of the circumstances. It is possible to end an auction early if there is more than 12 hours left but only in certain circumstances. If you can't prove you meet one of these circumstances your eBay agreement effectively obliges you to sell your item unless any reserve is not met. Do eBay police this sort of thing? Not really but, if reported, most sellers will get a non-performance strike which can lead to a ban. If you look on the eBay forum eBay are starting to ban non-performing sellers much more often. In this case the seller appears to have tried to avoid a reserve fee, took a gamble & it failed. Bidders have no obligations around when they bid & can leave it until the last second if they wish.

    Concavity gets my vote.

    The Ebay policy says: [size=4][i][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sellers are not allowed to cancel bids or end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price.

    Now sold to a rather peculiar chap who "really doesn't like these sort of guitars". I used to be active on BC many moons ago before defecting to the guitard side, I forgot all my login details so have had to re-register. Nice to see the site has flourished in my absence (cause & effect?)! I'm trying (with little success) to sell my Parker Dragonfly guitar, had 2 ebay sales fall through due to non-paying bidders (the latest today). This recession is biting hard, looking at the prices being asked & got I do wonder if I should retire the Parker to the spare room for a couple of years. Before I do that though, I'll have one last crack at it. So I have an original Parker Dragonfly guitar, handmade in the USA, with the Parker hard case, tools & stereo cable. The body is heavily sculpted alder, bolt on maple neck & ebony fretboard. Magnetic pick-ups are a Seymour Duncan TB4 & a pair of Seymour's SSL6 single coils. The trem is the unique Parker design with the piezo saddles, frets are stainless steel & the controls are 5 way pick up selector, volume & tone (magnetic), volume (piezo) & finally a 3 way toggle selects piezo, both or magnetic pick ups. The guitar is very, very light, balance is perfect, the neck is very fast & the ebony / stainless steel combination makes for a very smooth playing experience. Tones are very comprehensive, the SSL6s are classic, fat Texas tone single coils, the TB4 is vintage PAF with a little more oomph. The piezo sounds great &, mixed with the magnetics it's possible to get an almost Ri...........(sorry, John Hall wouldn't approve), it's possible to get a sound that Paul Weller, John Lennon or Pete Townsend would recognise. Built quality is as good as anything you'll find. These things go for over £1500 new, mine has one small chip in it (just below the front strap button) but is otherwise in super condition. So, a recession is here & people want bargains - £595 seems a hell of a deal. Alternatively I could be persuaded to go for a straight swap on a Fender Marcus Jazz, USA P bass, Lakland Glaub/Dunn/Osbourne or even a nice 'ray. I live near Middlesbrough if anyone fancies coming to see it or I will ship at your risk for £20 in the UK.
