Andrea, you bought it?  That can't be good...

Ebay ? and their officers as individuals ? needto be prosecuted for being accessories to felony theft and fraud and attempted felony theft and fraud.

I'm pretty sure Andrea was made aware of the fraud via this forum didn't complete the sale.

Hi again on this painful subject! Actually I have NOT paid for the item and filed all the available complaints both on ebay.com and ebay.com.au.
Bottle of champagne if anything serious happens...
You all take care.

Hi Olieoliver, ebay Australia said YOU should report to them the pictured bass is YOURS, otherwise they won't act.
Please check this and see if you 5 minutes to forward your issue:
Hello,  
Thank you for writing to eBay regarding your listing concerns.  
I have reviewed the information that you have provided regarding the use  
of the images or text in item number #250112095443.  
Regrettably, I am only able to take action if the owner of the images or  
text writes to us. In some instances, sellers may have obtained  
permission to use the copied material. Therefore, we cannot remove  
listings based on the representations of third parties whose credentials  
we cannot verify.  
I do understand the potential for further issues in this type of situation. That is why, if you feel strongly about this issue, I  
recommend that you contact the owner of the images or text, and recommend that they contact us directly. Once we hear from them, we will  
take appropriate action.  
Again, thank you for your email and please don't hesitate to let us know  
if you have any further questions or concerns.  
Regards, Damon S.
