I've had my second pair of rebuilt Quad ESL63 listed in a few places, including here, and on ebay.
I just got notified by an ebay member that someone on Craigslist NY has used my picture and text for an ad, which by definition is totally misleading, as its highly unlikely that anyone else's description can match my situation.
Is there anything I can and should do? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Follow Ups:
There have been a number of these cropping up on NY CL for the past few months, always as for vintage speakers, always at very reasonable, even low, prices. Often it's evident that part of the text of the ad has been dropped, probably by somebody reposting quickly. I think some of them are reposts of other people's CL ads from across the country. When I responded to one of the ads early on, I got a response that was basically, "this item is sold but log on to the following website" (whatever it was) "and see all my other items for sale". Needless to say, I didn't.
I don't know why some spammer decided that fake vintage speaker ads were the best way to reach his target audience, but there you have it.
Appreciate everyone's input and help. Samir.
Doesn't that violate the terms of ebay use?
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.
No idea. However, I very much doubt it, although I have not read ebay's terms in years. Plenty of real storefronts also selling on ebay, obviously with multiple avenues of sale.
you can file a complaint (federal, I think, in this case).
"Hello
The product is available and it is in perfect condition working great.First of all I can't make this deal face to face because I am in United Kingdom with my job. I want to continue this transaction through a 3rd part Yodel Delivery...I am in England and I have talked with the people from Yodel already.The item is at them ready for delivery and I paid for the taxes and fees already.I worked with them in the past and everything was fine..Please let me know if you want more info about the delivery process.
Thank you "

Would any readers here mind flagging this as recommended by The Dill.
Just for proof, my real ad is ebay 110821138374 and also on Asylum Trader.
Thanks in advance.
It requires several flags to remove, only one flag per email address is counted. See the link.
Strange it's in COMPUTERS catagory. And the flagging does not
go by email address, you don't need to log-in to flag, so how
would CL know the email address?.I've heard that they go by the IP address, and each computer
has a different one, so you can use several computers to flag
several times.

Yes, get some friends together and flag the ad. If it pops back up, keep flagging it.
You can also cppy his listing title and post a warning ad under "RE:....", warning people of teh scam, and that is what it is.
I did this when a guy listed a Praktica camera as made by Leica.
I have seen that "I am in London scam" several times. most recently for some Accuphase gear listed all over the midwest.
