That's what it's all about

I received an email from another Audiogon member yesterday telling me that he was on Ebay and happened to find a listing for a pair of Kharma Ceramique CE 1.0s that looked suspiciously identical to an ad that I have presently running here on Audiogon. I went to Ebay and sure enough, there was the ad with the exact same pictures and copy from my ad originating from some person in the UK with no feedback. I tried to contact Ebay to let then know what was going on and I even had to register with Ebay to lodge a complaint. They noted that it might be as long as 36 hours before they might be able to respond and by that time the auction for "my" speakers could be over. I guess this kind of thing happens all the time, but I would have never thought much about it or been made aware exept another kind member, Dave Frigo, cared enough to advise me. That's what Audiogon is all about...Thanks Dave... Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!

Ucmgr,
Interesting. I just submitted a post 5 min. ago re: EBay as well. EBay notified me last night that they were terminating my membership and "contemplating legal action" due to my "fraudulent behavior". I suspect my ID there has been compromized. EBay has some really serious problems going on, and I'm "contemplating legal action" myself to get that circus shut down. can you say: Class Action?

I would suspect some really deep pockets if your contemplating seriousness in class action. Then again the circus has a really big purse its self...........

Zenieth,
You are right of course. However, I do have a close relative who is an attorney for the FTC. I wonder if he would be willing to fire off a nasty letter on FTC letterhead?

I've got to confess in the sin I committed through the ebay selling a few years ago a DJ turntable. Since I didn't have at that time a digital camera, I just copied the picture from the different listing. The main fact is the turntable was mine and real and buyer was satisfied upon the item arrival.
