Raymondo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376917255' post='2180780'] The only problem with this is the seller now knows I'm the high bidder, not ideal but too late now. [/quote] Mmmm I didn't think of that Maybe somebody can bid £1,000,001..I don't know ...maybe someone who has an e-bay account name that is nothing like his basschat name of Raymondo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Foxen Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If it is your photo, you can report it as copyright infringement. I've done that and had a listing pulled, it showed photos of my living room. Also bought an amp that was in my living room, then got £50 back for not as described, he'd pulled one of my pics of an amp off the net, and it was slightly different.

Grangur Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Mine's nothing like my BC name. All we need to do is make sure that any real bidder is miles lower than the BC offers. So he can't do a 2nd chance. Edited August 19, 2013 by Grangur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If it is possible to send attachments with messages to the ebayer pretending to sell th eitem would it be possible for police squad to send him a pic of the bass with today's newspaper alongside it, tell him he's been rumbled and to withdraw it before he gets in real trouble from ebay, or is this just letting him off too lightly?

BetaFunk Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376916672' post='2180753'] I think they will try and get you to skirt the pay pal to save him the fee etc, gift item is it? Gives the buyer no come back as far as I know? [/quote] Yes, i'm with you now. It's got to be something along those lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_the_bass Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 All you have to do to satisfy paypal is send a package, couriered and signed for, to an address and provide a reference. PayPal then check the reference, see that it was delivered and signed for, and find in favour of the seller. They pretty much never check that the address tallies especially when an item started out as collection only as people tend to want things like this shipped to work addresses. I know this as a mate was stung by a similar scam on a Gibson ES335. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1376922346' post='2180899'] It's worrying to think it could actually be a member here anyway? [/quote] It's possible I guess but if someone was to set up this sort of scam the first place they would look on the web for source material in addition to google would be particular forums that would include extra info that might make them decide which stuff was more desirable and better 'bait' for their false listings. No one has to be a subscriber to see posts here other than Off Topic iirc. Edited August 19, 2013 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceonaboy Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I cant believe this kind of thing goes on . Its most annoying to hear . I mean it looks like a genuine ad and he has answered a couple of questions I see you guys are bidding vast amounts on it. Is that wise if ebay have not taken action? You might be held to pay that Edited August 19, 2013 by iceonaboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It's the same guy that's (apparently) selling the SB1000. I put a post up about that a couple of days ago in the "ebay/ weird and wonderful" section of the forum. Dodgy as hell!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
