Thread: E-Bay: Does this strike you as fishy?

I asked the seller this question.

The seller answered, "am sorry i have the exact same razor identical, am i not allowed to do that? let me know please."

I responded this way...
"Aside from the fact that it is the intellectual property of the other seller, how would you feel as a buyer? Would everything look above board to you?

I just got soaked by a seller who used the same pic for three separate auctions. I won all of them, and I have yet to receive a single razor.

You say you have the same razor? No, you don't. It is either better or worse than the one you stole the pictures from.

Business marketing and believing in honesty. Come on... Seeing the other one sold for $77 had nothing to do with it? Start your trek down the path of honesty by taking your own pics.

By the way, the circle of guys who buy most of the razors have seen how you have listed this ghost razor."


I also told eBay to check into this possible fraudulent auction. Liars and thieves really piss me off!

This is very helpful information, particularly for those new to ebay. Hopefully this thread and others can become part of a new forum dedicated to ebay.

All right Bill. You go Boy. Give them hell

I'm actually a bit surprised that he answered you, Bill. Even if what he said is probably patently untrue.

Geez, louise, these guys annoy me. I imagine what you'd get if you bid on the razor would be either A) nothing or B) a rusted hunk of junk.

Bill,

That's a great job, taking on the scumbags one by one. Even if it protects one person, it's worth the effort!

(Note to self: Never do anything to piss Bill off!)

I also sent him one and he thanked me for it. Hopefully there were more warnings that luvshavin got. It makes it kinda nice when someone, anyone, is covering your back.

Also... I just got another response back from the seller.

"i will change the pictures to the actual ones as soon as i can thanks for your concern"


If he/she does, that would be good...
