Paul Read Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 (edited) I've reported both. Ebay seems to have an improved reporting system but it's not too great if you're reporting an item that someone else had listed (great if it was your item being copied). And now they're both on twice! Edited September 19, 2007 by Paul Read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wntrmute Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I've reported both. Ebay seems to have an improved reporting system but it's not too great if you're reporting an item that someone else had listed (great if it was your item being copied). And now they're both on twice! They are both gone now as 'invalid items.' Of course there is also THIS which looks like a rochelle, but isn't. The strap is wrong, among other differences. Has anyone tried a Rochelle knock-off? I can't imagine it is any better than my (probable) Hohner knock-off. Someone is going to be very disappointed with that if it is of that same low quality.

yfried Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 How does one know that an eBay listing is a scam? Is it because you've seen the exact same item listed previously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Read Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 How does one know that an eBay listing is a scam? Is it because you've seen the exact same item listed previously? That's one way. In this case one of them was my original listing. This one must hold the record for the number of times it's reappeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
