All - I'm pretty steamed here - so far as I can tell, me (the legit
buyer), the seller, and somebody from this group informed eBay of
the fraud taking place. Yet, at least 24 hours later in all cases,
the auction IS STILL THERE. While only at $122, no telling what
happens by the end. I can't even find a cust service # on the
5,000 pages of help drivel to call somebody there to b!tch about it.
On a recent parallel situation with a Mellotron (legit then fraud
auctions), some guy that I have anecdotal evidence is for real just
lost some ~$1500 on this type of fraud. Whether he was beyond
naive or worse to do something like that is beyond the point. I
can only conclude eBay is really at fault here for not lifting the
auction after more than ample warning. Some guy in Finland sending
$$$ to London doesn't have much recourse against the host. I guess
that's why these things proliferate like emails to renew your
personal information with Citibank.
