Hello to all
My name is Andrew and I write from Italy.
Even I have to tell my story so that alert other potential buyers from scams of these dishonest sellers.
I bought 2 handles stratocaster from ebay seller wickedcustomguitars.
I paid a total of $ 419 for both.

The seller asked me to pay it off from ebay through paypal and I trusting of his feedback I did.
After about two stiimane I noticed by chance that handles the same, with the same description, the same photos and the same demands for payment had been made out of ebay from another seller .. our dear shansand5.
Here are the links of the 4 different ads for the same items.

I contacted both vendors for an explanation.
I threatened to call ebay security and leave negative feedback.
These are the emails that followed between me and wickedcustomguitars:
-I'm Andrew from Italy
I found another seller (shansand5) who has on sale both necks that I have already paid.
I expect your explanation within 12 hours and after release two negative feedback and contact the ebay assistance to suspend your account
Andrew
-Sorry to inform you that my supplier has not shipped any of the necks I sold for him on ebay but he has collected the money and relisted from a different account! My apologies I am in the process of trying to get him shut down and reimbursed!
Again I am sorry
Mike
-Ok.when you refund me?
-Andrew there is no money in PayPal I sent it to him a nd he hasn't shipped anyone's necks!
-I do not care
I paid you and you are responsible
-Ok sorry!

this is a scam.
This neck was on sale at the seller "wickedcustomguitars" and I have already paid
I expect your explanation within 12 hours and after release two negative feedback and contact the ebay assistance to suspend your account
Andrew
-This is not a scam. There was a fallout between wickedcustomguitars and the supplier. I will be selling for the supplier from now on.
-Explain please.I do not understand
-Wickedcustomguitars was not paying the supplier for the merchandise sold. I will be selling for the supplier from now on. If you were to file a dispute it would be with wickedcustomguitars
This is what happened.
I opened a dispute with paypal and leave negative feedback to warn users about what's going on ebay.
I contacted ebay support to close the auction of shansand5 and I did .. for now ..
I'm frustrated .. I have many years on ebay and never happened to me a problem.
I would like to ask the forum members if they can help me in this unfortunate situation suggesting any process to take.
I have to sweat the money you try to save and when I meet people like these I want to scream
American law is tough against fraud and avevdo paid with a credit card I believe that the payment can be tracked and traced back to the guilty.
Thank you to all for help
