For those that use ebay service....

Hi guys,

Hope it's ok to post here as I usually visit this part of the forum, thanks......

Beware of seller Feng-78, just a scammer. His rating is like 86% and a lot of negs.

I recently got fleeced by this scumbag, a small amount but just giving a heads up to beware of a seller from China who likes to send necklaces instead of your item. I went outside my usual buyer/seller practices and ran into this jerk, should've known better but water under the bridge now as they say.

Normally ebay is very good as I have a few I generally buy from.

Cheers,   Paul

Like you say, lesson learnt but I'd never use a seller with less than 99% positive feedback. Too many scammers and too much fake stuff out there.

Nothing's really changed since the old Romans came up with 'caveat emptor' (buyer beware) - there are a couple of sellers on German ebay who flog pirate copies of resin figures - easy to spot, though, as they are marked 'Hersteller unbekannt' (manufacturer unknown) eventhough the picture often shows the original artwork...including the company name!
But if you really want to scare the crap out of yourself, have a look at resin figures offered on 'Alibaba': every single one of the hundreds on offer is pirated.
