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!

EddieG Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 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] [url="https://www.facebook.com/xly90"]https://www.facebook.com/xly90[/url] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131905531703?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT"]eBay - RMI Basses 5 String Expression Bass Guitar[/url][/font][/color][/font][/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Alsatian Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 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.
