crooked sh1t like this is allowed & im sure we’ve all reported it
yet the slightest mention of something like “famous artist inspired” etc & they pull the listing
Then, theres a guy rebadging squiers n kicking them about a bit who then uses misleading descriptions to fool people into thinking they are buying some rare special relic (yawn)edition
It’s really sad that innocent (albeit not clued up) people are getting shafted on eBay daily & they don’t seem to give a p1ss as long as the listing is worded cleverly enough to save them any
legal action
rant over
whats the betting there will be a thread on one of the many guitar forums from the poor shmuck who buys this? “I my les Paul fake?”
The fact that the seller has taken care to choose his words in the written description does not absolve him from breaking the law by passing off an article that is clearly counterfeit.
Reading the seller's story, it would seem that it has already been rejected once before after the previous buyer showed it to a guitar shop.
As a community we should get stuff like this pulled down as some poor sucker is going to be stung for £600

Plenty of us seem to have reported it. Well done ebay <claps hands sarcastically>
poor buyer
The buyer paid around £600 to much
eBay is notorious for being more motivated over lost fees than the iffiness of individual auction item descriptions. It is possible that the vendor is involved in the eBay community who deal with complaints of this type. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

You could probably write the *community support* replies yourself. Some defended the vendor. Some claimed that eBay "cannot see the item" in order to comment on its authenticity (or lack of it). Most (correctly) pointed out that eBay can take no action against the vendor until the buyer reports the deception.
Funny how Big eBay cannot see the photographs of a dishonestly represented Chibson but they would have no problem detecting naughty contact details exchanges.
Colour me skeptical.
