Is there dodgy ebay sellers thread?, by wappinghigh on Dec 2, 2018 0:22:11 GMT 1, Hi
Is there a dodgy ebay sellers thread?
One that is maintained and updated so we can check prior to bidding etc?
In just a couple of weeks...
I have seen fakes.
I have seen flippers..(who purchase direct from online stores) then on-sell at exhorbitant prices (even though the original art is still for sale on line much cheaper)!
I have seen ebayers who purchase from an artist, claim it didn't arrive, get a refund from ebay, then put the art up for sale a few weeks later!
I have seen pieces with fake COA's
I have had PM discussion with ebayers who swear black and blue they are legit (when they aren't)
And on it goes.. all in a matter of weeks!
So is there an dodgy ebay seller thread?
Thanks!

One of these things is not like the others.

Is there dodgy ebay sellers thread?, by Express Post on Dec 2, 2018 3:06:43 GMT 1, You start one. You already know what you are looking for.
If it is of any interest to the community, I'm sure it will take a life of it own...ahem Banksy Postcards

Is there dodgy ebay sellers thread?, by wappinghigh on Dec 2, 2018 6:42:33 GMT 1, ^ Sure. So what is your point? ebay is full of sellers who break the law.
And even is a seller is not actually breaking the law, they can still be "dodgy" ie disingenuous
yes and thanks for the definition of dodgy! I agree!
If you would like to contribute to my new thread naming sellers who you consider "dodgy" the link is in a post one above.
Thanks!

Apparently the OP does not.
