En ja hoor heb ik weer zoiets. Ik zag een MS-20 staan op e-bay maar volgens de beschrijving moest ik eerst me melden om in aanmerking te komen voor het bieden(om te zien of ik te vertrouwen ben dacht ik). Maar er stonden twee e-mail adressen waar ik me dus moest aanmelden. Ook de locatie was vreemd, object in Spanje maar bieden in US$. Uiteindelijk gewoon via de knop vragen aan verkoper het volgende bericht gestuurd:
(dit zijn kopien uit mijn email dus vandaar dat het er zo uitziet)

Uiteraard vertrouwde ik dit dus niet. Ik heb geantwoord met wat strikvragen enzo:
JvK> Hello,
JvK> Yes I am interested!
JvK> I have a few questions:
JvK> - What do you call a fair price?
JvK> - Where is the item located?
JvK> - A common problem with this synth is the sub-audio harmonizer. Is this
JvK> still working properly? (ik had wat inspiratie uit eerdere posts in deze thread
)
JvK> - Did it have the upgrade for the wavetables?
JvK> - Did you use it yourself?
JvK> - If so what is your experience with it?
JvK> With kind regards,
JvK> Jaap
Nou vandaag dus het volgende antwoord gehad:
Hello Jaap,
The final price including shipping and insurance will be 820.00USD.
The items we sell are brand new in factory sealed box.
They are covered by full warranty from the manufacturer.
We don't know each other so we need a safe way to conduct this transaction.
eBay offers purchase protection plans for these situations
They will decide how you pay me so you can be insured for the entire value of
this purchase.
In case you don't get what you are paying for, you get a full refund from eBay.
I have deposited $20,000 as purchase protection in an eBay managed account.
I am not able to withdraw any money from this account while there are any
possible
refund requests (60 days since the last transaction)I need you full name
and shipping address now I will contact eBay and they will get back to us when
the needed
verifications are done and you got the purchase protection.
This may take a few hours, so please be patient. You will be able to verify the
validity
of your purchase protection after you have qualified for it
They will give us a transaction number. Please keep it safe. Should a refund is
needed,
you e-mail them the payment proof and the transaction number in order to get
your money back.
Let me know your decision.
Thanks in advance.
Lijkt me duidelijk dus want volgens mij bestaat zo'n systeem dus niet. Zal ook zeker niet te gebruiken zijn als we e-bay omzeilen in de verkoop! Overigens had deze verkoper behoorlijk wat positieve feedback. Dus dat is zeker ook geen garantie!
Ik heb het ook geprobeerd te melden bij e-bay maar dat lukt niet fout op de contactpagina ofzo. Ik probeer het thuis nog wel een keer.
Helaas pindakaas dus, ach ik zoek gewoon lekker verder
J.
p.s. lijkt het maar of zijn dit soort praktijken aan het toenemen op e-bay?
