I would not pay for anything via Western Union. Many scammers use it. I would say no no no. The pictures could be from any website...

I think you got your answer there! Sounds like a scam to me. Only ever pay by the way you are happy with. Nobody legitimate would expect you to give them a lot of money without asking questions!

SCAMMER ALERT!!!

James Exley, eBay user [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/xly2390?_trksid=p2047675.l2559"]xly2390[/url] is a thief and a liar!

I purchased an RMI Expression 33" scale five string from him. I contacted him a week later as the item had not arrived and he messaged back,

[quote][color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Hey there. Sorry for the lack of contact. [/font][/color]

[color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The bass is on its way. Just started a new job so I've been out of the house most of the time. [/font][/color]

[color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]All the best.[/quote]

The bass has never arrived. I had to open a request on the 8th September as his communication was pathetic, and I'm now going to have to file a dispute to get my money back. On viewing his feedback, I can see he has previous for this; amongst other items he's sold that have never reached their buyers, he'd already sold this bass to someone and then not shipped it!![/font][/color]

[color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Avoid this guy like the plague. Or, if you live in Guildford, pay him a visit for me...[/font][/color]

Well, I got my money back but he's since pulled it on someone else!!

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=xly2390&myworld=true&items=25&iid=-1&de=off&which=negative&interval=365

This guy's name is James Exley, he's from Guildford and he plays drums in a band called Lost In Venice (https://www.facebook.com/LostInVeniceUK). DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS GUY!!!!

And if you happen to live in Guildford, and you run across him, do us all a favour and kick the living s**t out of him, eh? Cheers!

Hello folks - be cautious of eBay user tullythecat

I sold my Epiphone Embassy Pro around 10:15am today and received an instant message giving their 'zip' with a London address.  I looked at the confirmed Paypal address and it was a mashup of a London and Aberdeen address (the London address inserted into the middle), so I asked for a contact number that I could provide to the courier.  At 1:38pm, I received a mail fro Paypal informing me of a reversal as the payment was 'unauthorised'.  Believing this to be a scam email, I logged into Paypal to check and found that a reversal had indeed taken place at the buyer's request due to being 'unauthorised'.

As I wasn't shipping the bass until I was satisfied I was dealing with a genuine buyer, I issued a refund as per the resolution centre.  I contacted the buyer via eBay to ask if the purchase had been a mistake (in the instance their eBay account hadn't been hacked) and have received no further communication since this morning's mail.

As I have my bass still, no harm done other than time wasted, but a warning of caution for anyone from whom this eBay user makes a purchase - could be a hacked account.
