PayPal Goods/Services; not bank transfer or PayPal Gift/Friends. If you can do face-to-face, then you know you’ve got it. Socially distanced demo is more of an issue.

Them Jaydees are big!

Maybe it could double-up as a zapper!

...but it sure is kindof cool. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MENSFELD-Ironcross-electric-guitar-Seymour-Duncan-Schaller-Floyd-Rose-and-tuners/224241866897

One of the other folks here ended up getting a repayment from the scammer and via their bank's fraud process! (Being honest, he returned one of them.)

In which case, the people who have screendumps of the web pages and chat of him stalking and harassing them would become pertinent...

He is a convicted fraudster, counterfeiter, and liar.

I feel for you. I think he's compartmentalised the fraudulent selling from the ripping off fellow musicians fees.

How did he do the refund? It has been pointed out that it’s still fraud, even after it’s been refunded; I think the line of demarcation is when money has changed hands.

It happened to me here last week (no reason to doubt the seller, just I've decided that's the way forward for me).

Some might consider it to be hassle or an indication you don't trust them; I've had that happen.

Interesting use of a string retainer there...

Like I said; it’s whack-a-mole.

The re-listed items are still there on Gumtree. https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-guitar-accessories/bass-guitar-hard-case/1394999566 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/bass-amplifier-/1394999409

It is difficult to find without links to items.

I’ve decided not to pay for items by bank transfer or PayPal friends & family/gift anymore; it does mean that you might lose out on buying some things if the seller won’t accept that, but I’m prepared to walk away if needs be.

You don't see many of these about. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Greco-Steinberger-Licensed-Headless-Electric-Bass-Perfect-Packing-From-Japan-K/184609214224 It is across the pond, though.

It's whack-a-mole time! The two ads were pulled, but have been re-posted. https://www.gumtree.com/profile/accounts/1b8724625a0e9b167460f7e15574815e

Hope you are successful in getting it refunded. Do share the Action Fraud case number when you get it; correlating them all may well help. You can also contact Leicester Police on the link on the previous page. Someone also observed that one of his bands' FB page is back up now...

In case anybody needs it, Leicester Police have a Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/leicspolice/

The brand is Squier, S-Q-U-I-E-R, not Squire.

Yes - it could do with a spring clean, couldn’t it.

I've been there too; I tend to just put what I'm prepared to pay in advance and let it run its course, but I occasionally do the last-minute thing.

Haha! The Synth9's Oberheim is great; you can have it trailing your bass line. I bought the B9 on a whim, but its Hammond is spot-on for Lazy. I've still got to get to grips with the FI; I've spent a load of time faffing around with the tech and forgotten that it's supposed to be there to make sounds. OTOH, you may have a point... I have a set of PK5-A MIDI pedals, but I was in the process of getting my 2nd pedalboard working (the top row in this one was going to have another SansAmp on it, but that's another story!).
