Surely you musicians have noticed the immense amount of instruments being sold by this apparent "Chinese Businessman" on the bay. Whenever you go on there you see from China under the postage.. when i noticed all these instruments going up for £1 my spider senses started to tingle and i knew something wasnt right. Then earlier when browsing i found this:

CLICK

and tbh.. quite a relief :p
 
I've seen numerous things advertised as being from China that on the suface look legit. Then you look at the username - a random string of letters. Then the feedback providers - all of them a random string of letters, all have the same amount of feedback and all seemt to be selling to each other.

<alarm bells> !

See I get the whole idea of that page, but it's the biggest pig to browse through!
haha :D i agree.

luckilly we all have our spider senses to fall back on and dont get fooled by tricks like this one.
 
Funny thing is i recently stopped a friend from bidding of one of the Gibsons (from china).. Then i went and won a Vintage sg for a steal from a seller with 2 negs (and only 6 pos) and sent her an email.. Never heard a thing back, i've since sent 5-6 emails but alas nothing, obviously i wont be paying. But really it just shows how simple ebay is to use. You need to be well scammed, or simply, and in most cases a pure numpty to be scammed.
 
Hehe, i got her number from the request contact details bit.. And just gave her a nice early wake up call.. Rip off merchant.
Strange thing though.. She sounded like my mom :eek: .
