BillyHunt Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) And it's back up again. He now has 2 positive feedbacks for the same amp and this is the fourth time he's listed it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trace-Elliot-AH-300-SMC-GP7-bass-amplifier/303596428788?hash=item46afc1ddf4:g:3SYAAOSwE0perh~y Edited June 17, 2020 by BillyHunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 And it’s the same person who has left both feedbacks, strange 🤔 did they buy it twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 if he relists it then its his mate shill bidding trying to land a mug punter between them, worth reporting, ebay can check the history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the fact that the idiot has left feedback twice for the same buyer before, and can be seen by anyone, i guess he's not too bright. It also means he's paid ebay fees twice already, unless he cancelled both previous auctions Trouble is with reporting this, the drop down boxes ebay provide dont fully list the option to explain things. There used to be a comment box where you could detail the problem, but now its generic and i dont see any of the right options 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Wy,Aye,Man Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 The one good thing about ebay, the only good thing I suppose, is that you can avoid it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just spent a very frustrating 30 minutes trying to find the right option from those damned drop down boxes. Gave up in the end and sent an email to the Gentleman who responded to my original complaint. I have left him negative feedback though.

Maude Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 There's definitely something strange about him. He's got fourteen active listings with between three and nine days left to go on them and not one bid on anything. I know that's not out of the question but it seems odd, coupled with the same item selling multiple times, getting good feedback but being relisted again makes me think he's at best, just a bit thick but probably best avoided, at worst, a scamming knob'ead and probably best avoided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machines Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cool saves me making my own thread. Did a BIN last Sat on a bass at a very good price, new seller so was quite aware it was a bit risky (PayPal protection though). Paid immediately, no contact from seller despite 3 emails from me. There are no contact details on eBay, I just have to wait till 23rd so I can open a case against them as i'm fairly confident it isn't going to show up. If it does though, you'll all be extremely jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the other thing with fat-baby, says he's a dealer, with only 10 feedback? don't thing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very difficult to leave negative feedback on eBay these days for sellers, as prolific sellers we have people very occasionally leave us neutral/negative feedback. eBay themselves automatically remove it, you don't even have to request them do it for you nowadays.

Reggaebass Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I think It kinda defeats the object of feedback really, someone might be a bad seller and you wouldn’t know because they’ve only got good feedback, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly although not would you'd call prolific, I've had very little trouble on ebay, mostly just a bit of hassle, only once did I feel I'd been cheated out of money, that was when I offered a part refund because the buyer said goods were not as described, and that was to save the bother of paying return postage, find out the buyer had done the damage and then having to resell, should have known he had very low feedback, lesson learned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
