why does evilbay not have a 'report' button

[Lozz196]

I`d seen that and thought it looked a bit off to say the least.

It looks like Fender have based the new headstock shape on the classic 'peavey milestone' era headstock...

[/quote]I think Fender fancy the new Encore basses....i think there's gonna be a lawsuit

Now bid up to £180, you could probably pick up 2 Peavey's and 4 Encores for that

[Shonks]

i told the guy it's a fake and he wrote back asking why i think that as he claimed not to know anything about the subject.
So I explained and I told him to Google Fender basses and see if he could find one with that shape headstock. Then I told him to check out Vintage and Encore basses and the plethora of others.
But he's continuing with the sale even though he now knows its a fake.
I've reported it to Ebay with the 'report button' down on the bottom right of the listing.
I know it's not really my business but I feel for the poor saps that are bidding.
If you feel the same I urge you to press the 'report item' button too.

[Ashborygirl]

I've reported it too, hope the seller gets scabies.

[Shonks]

6 bids at £205...i can't stand it....

[brensabre79]

Reported too. hopefully if they get enough they will pull it down. Shocking fake.
Serial number doesn't even check out!

[Shonks]

..thats the great thing about selling on BC - this type of ad just would be gunned down in seconds !

[Shonks]

£215 and rising ....i sent the guy a message saying he's no better than a thief, seeing as he now knows it's fake and going ahead witht the sale anyway...
He's going to ruin someones Christmas

[davekent]

Reported!

[Musky]

Just a thought, but I wonder if any of those bidders are going to be taking advantage of Ebay's policy of instructing bidders of counterfeits to keep the item whilst also refunding them?

He's amended his listing with "US FENDER PRECISION [b]STYLE [/b]BASS GUITAR" lower down the text......so that makes it all ok now.....unless you miss that bit of course.....

[/quote]don't see how that makes it alright...what about the bidders? Can't really move the goal posts after the ball's been kicked.
