Prosebass Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Item has been relisted And in response to "can I call for the bass and pay cash when it arrives" "unfortunately not as the one in the pic is mine,once i recieve your payment via paypal i then order yours from my supplier in the us which accounts for the 14-21 days delivery! but you can pick it up once it is here but your payment must be paid first within 3 days after auction ends" regards louise louise - lite_bite_catering76 I contacted ebay live security chat to get passed from pillar to post and eventually was sent back to the "email us" link which can take 24-48 hours. Obviously ebay don't give a sh*t about individuals accounts. Anyone got the balls to log into this users account and change the password to stop this abuse..... No wonder people are dubious about using ebay.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also considered changing the password as (like you I imagine) it was the first thing the log-on page suggested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could be arsed (which I can't), I could suggest to the seller that I go and see their bass (if they really have it) and buy their's and they have the other one when/if it arrives.

warwickhunt Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Item sold. I've tried to contact the buyer to give them the heads up, I hope they believe me! Anyone else want to warn him/her, they might take notice if it is more than one person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
