The above seller has 4 or 5 Gibson mandolins for sale but they have each one listed in 3 or 4 different auctions and in diferent countries of London Germany and Canada.
They have the same serial number.
Surely this is dodgy.
I have messaged him to ask him why but got no response and I've also reported it to eBay but had no response.
Any ideas what's going on.

Scam listings ... they've been going on for years with the same photos.

Listings have been removed . . . for now . . . .

A few weeks ago the "Get More Info/Buy it Now" link on those pages was infested with some kind of malware, so beware.

Several of us have reported this to ebay many times now, they keep trying.

I have a strong feeling that scammer has walked among us here.

If the scammer was on here he/she would know they will be flagged. Seems like a lot of work to do for a laugh.

Thanks for the update and atleast a few of you are into it. Thanks

Read all of the other thread linked to and you tell me.

You are the expert Mike, was just thinking if they read about being flagged and knew they would be flagged why do it.

The mandolins are a very small part of the entire scam. When the guy posts there are hundreds if not thousands of other items. If they go up and one person sends him cash he won.
