eBay did nothing. REALJAZZCAT was gold plating tube pins and selling the tubes as genuine factory premium tubes for 10 times their true value. eBay almost always sides with the seller for obvious reasons. Have you noticed that not a single non-frame grid, gold pin Telefunken 12AX7 has shown up on eBay since REALJAZZCAT stopped selling them?
Now he has been reduced to selling his crappy, hyped-up Telefunken PCC88s to unsuspecting newbies. Sure, they might sound better than the worst modern tubes, but they are not worth $98/pair. I would bet he doesn't pay more than $5 each for them because nobody wanted them. Also, what are the long term effects of running a 7v tube at 6.3v? TubeMuseum my ASS!
