Roger2611 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Just for anyone that has been living on Mars for the last couple of years...the scammers are back on Ebay....this is a scam along with everything else listed on this poor seller page at the moment....don't be tempted! All reported so Ebay should pull them shortly but just wanted to warn people again http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-1966-FENDER-JAZZ-BASS-J-BASS-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-/301852859833?hash=item4647d51db9:g:6ZEAAOSwCypWn79u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks for this, but the page is gone so I can't tell who the seller is. Would you mind naming him/her please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleMalt Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Do eBay actually do anything about reporting? There are a few sellers of fake hockey jerseys that I've been consistently reporting when I see their listings and eBay have never done a thing about it.

Roger2611 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 [quote name='SingleMalt' timestamp='1453376680' post='2958842'] Do eBay actually do anything about reporting? There are a few sellers of fake hockey jerseys that I've been consistently reporting when I see their listings and eBay have never done a thing about it. [/quote] These listings were the same as a spate of fake listings a couple of years back, the scammer hijacks a genuine seller account with the standard "do not bid, email this Gmail / Hotmail address for terms on buying" the listings are all for very expensive items all at the same "bargain" price with free postage and all listings with a single photo....for some reason the scammers were too thick to realise that using the same photos everytime was a bit of a giveaway! The seller t3cjn would have been totally unaware they had been hacked, looking at their other listings they had no other items for sale so would have been totally unaware of the scammer. Ebay did seem to have a handle on this for the last couple of years, I was surprised to see the same scam return especially with the same pictures. Ebay did pull the items very quickly and to a degree Ebay is self policing, a number of camera items listed had been bid to 3 or 4 times what the scammer was offering buy it now for, we will highlight it on here...but it only takes one idiot to think they can pick up a mint 64 Jazz for £1000 and the scammer gets away with it For those that sell on Ebay...check you for sale items regularly!

kodiakblair Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Had that happen to me once. Years back a fella messaged me about postage for a U2 I pod. As I've never sold anything on eBay it was new to me.Turned out I had 50 of them for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
