Fraud, be careful.

Hopefully the buyers will get refunds and could possibly even freeze the seller's paypal account until resolved. I definitely liked eBay better in the past and warned people a few times about bogus rarities or where to find copies at issue price when I was in the know. As a seller I sold a restored 1940s comic book once without having noticed it was fixed up and I refunded and resold it to someone else at a lower price. These reprints made to look like the original are going to keep being a problem with vinyl I can see.
 
The only thing I can think to warn them is to post the same beatle album, cheap and let them know on the description about a possible fraud, maybe they will notice. Getting ripped off on 4000 bucks is not going to be fun.

By the way just a question, if your Willing to spend 4 grand on a record don't you take precautionary measures before paying?
Maybe some people here at the forum have made high cost transaction before, any advice?

A few people need to actually call Ebay and tell customer service...They are actually very helpful if you talk to them live. And remember...the buyer always ends up winning on Ebay...In the end, the seller will always lose!!!

I agree with you Frantic.
 
If you really can not stop yourself from bidding, do some investigations, check the seller's feedback, see what he sold before, read the feedback etc...
Contact the seller and ask as many questions as possible (matrix, condition, where did he buy it, is he sure this is an original) the answers might give you some clues.
The other option is ask people on the forum, if you don;t want to advertise the fact that you are bidding on an item, you can always ask a private question.....

wise words from Jim. Ask a seller questions on expensive items and a lack of response speaks volumes...
 
Actually, just checked his ended listings... I can't believe the amount of shit he's sold... I mean who has 5 copies of Yesterday & Today in it's 1st state available to sell like that?
 
excellent, ebay will read it here...This guy is meat...He just doesn't know it yet!!!
 
I e-mailed directly to Ebay before the auctions ended but nothing was done then? why wait until the auction is over and there is a chance of some collector getting done for thousands of Dollars? why not act before the auction is over?
 
the person I talked to contacted the Fraud dept. he even put me on hold to call them. It still sounded like it would be awhile before they act. Meantime...the buyers are all making payments for records that don't exist!!! The only way we will ever know if they acted is to see that the SELLER is no longer registered with Ebay.
