Once again the same ridiculous list of items is on offer on ebay - this time starting at £1 (British pound) while the location is given as "US 1-3days". The contrabass clarinets have been withdrawn (reported?) but the user "beteherc" has 477 items, all with catalogue pictures, etc..

If my report to ebay has been not been acted upon by the time you read this, try item 4355326563 - Amati Bass Clarinet, then look at Seller's other items. If you are in the mood to do good, may I strongly suggest that you arbitrarily pick a few key words from the item descriptions, and add them your "favourite searches". Then, if and when the same item reappears under yet another different user name, you'll get notified and  you can check the seller's other items. If they look fraudulent, do the following (or find a better variant of the same idea):
  connect to page http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/contact_inline/index.html
  complete the form
I think this "seller" must be relying on getting a few pounds or dollars from unsuspecting buyers, time and time again, before ebay catches him each time. The above may help to put a stop to it. If you are moved to help as suggested, here are some key words, in case the seller is pulled before you get this message.
Happy eBaying, everyone!!!!!!

Not A Registered User (strikes fear in the heart of most sellers - no problem for this guy, though) . . . . but wait! chapter 2 of this saga. he's changed the name to betehrc (too lazy to think up a new one?) and has 476 listings out there!!!

Re my earlier message about 477 items, I see that beteherc is "no longer a registered user".
Keeping an eye open for future scams still applies!
