Hi Carl,
I have reported it. I have also contacted the Audiogon seller and he has reported it too. Hopefully, it will be pulled soon. When I reported it to eBay, I couldn't find a way of letting them know where the listing had been copied from. Do you know if this can still be done? I knew that you could send a link if the fraudulent seller had copied an eBay listing.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi, No it looks like the eBay report system has changed, as I recall being able to type a short description of the problem.

I can only assume, eBay considered this free format text to time consuming to read, and now have a (semi?)-automated process.

Regards,
Carl

The DSP7200s seem to have reappeared again on eBay via the same seller.
The 808.3 is also on there too. I'm assuming that this is the same person using two accounts.
I have reported them again.

I just spotted these too Peter and was about to report it here when I noticed your post. Well spotted, definately looks fishy to me. I sent a message asking if cash on collection was possible, will be interesting to see what the answer is.

EDIT:
Well what do you know..

Hi Martin,
Ha! what a surprise that they said that! I see that both auctions are still running so it will be worth reporting it anyway.

Cheap 7200 again with no seller history eBay - DSP7200

New word "scrumptulescent"

These have been reported several times. If they exist, they are 110v (I suggested the seller put that on the listing, he said he would - he's obviously a bit busy...) as per picture. On eBays head be it.

I'm as sure as I can be that they don't exist! The originals are for sale on Audiogon. eBay seem very unresponsive about dealing with them this time. Hopefully they will pull the auctions before the finish time.

Questions to the "seller" asking if the photos are the actual item for sale have not been answered.

Interesting, the 7200s and the 808 both went to the same bidder, who has no history, mmm. I wonder if the second highest bidder is going to get offered a second chance.

Shill bidding ?

The 7200s have appeared again on eBay. The pictures are the same as before (including the 110V power supply picture). Please can people report them again? eBay did pull the last listing and also the 808.3 just after the auctions finished. Also, eBay seem to act more quickly if the seller won't accept paypal as a payment method (even if it is shown in the listing that they do). It is worth asking the seller a direct question if they will accept paypal and then reporting it to eBay if they don't.
Thanks,
Peter
