Based in United Kingdom, keldoug29012 has been an eBay member since 22 Feb, 2016
I am going to send him a message and say I have a friend in Tenerife and ask if they can come and take a look

I asked for more pictures; apparently there is a problem with eBay so could I send my email address...

My thoughts exactly - there is no way I'd bank transfer £5,000 (or even £500) for something on ebay on the basis of a couple of photos.

I always believed that Ebay sellers must always offer Paypal as a means of payment. They may offer other methods, and express a preference for these, but cannot insist. Unless things have changed recently...?

I don't know if this sheds any light on Keith's point about PayPal. Payment methods policyOnly payment methods offered at eBay Checkout are allowed. To help provide a safe experience, we only allow payment methods that offer strong protection for buyers and sellers. What is the policy? The following payment methods are not allowed: Sending cash through the post Point-to-point cash transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram Direct contact information can only be exchanged after eBay checkout is complete. This includes asking buyers to get in touch with details of alternative payment methods. The following payment methods, which are offered at eBay checkout, are allowed: PayPal PayPal Credit Credit card or debit card provided via PayPal Credit or Debit card Apple Pay Google Pay Bank-to-bank transfers Payment upon collection Cheques Postal orders Online payment services such as: Allpay.net, CertaPay, Nochex.com, XOOM Sellers are not required to offer PayPal for listings in any of the following categories: Cars Motorcycles Aircraft Boats Caravans Trailers Trucks (commercials) Services Property In some categories PayPal is the only payment method accepted. This will be advised during listing. Activity that doesn't follow eBay policy could result in a range of actions including for example: administratively ending or cancelling listings, hiding or demoting all listings from search results, lowering seller rating, buying or selling restrictions, and account suspension. All fees paid or payable in relation to listings or accounts on which we take any action will not be refunded or otherwise credited to your account.

I wouldn't be too concerned about it still being advertised. The longer it stays live eBay will be gathering evidence about the seller, removing it, and suspending the account just means he'll return with another eBay ID. I am sure they will be tracking the activity and possible sharing with the relevant authorities.

While we're here I have some lovely beachfront property for sale in Birmingham at a very good price if you're interested.

No that’s the guy I bought the Fay from. Richard in Windermere. They’re his photos on the Fay listing !!! This second guy has advertised other guitars in the past, and in earlier times was offering collection and try before purchase, so might actually be legit, but it does look like the same floor. He does have quite a mix of lower-priced items on offer too, and at least has some reasonable eBay history; appears to be a genuine UK seller.

Recent experience with Ebay has taught me that they don't give a cr*p about doing the decent thing. But seeing as I'm always up for winding up the scammers I've messaged him asking for the serial number to prove that it's legit!

Craig My prediction is that you'll get a reply that says there's a problem with eBay and can you send your e-mail address. That's what happened when I asked for a picture of the label.
