    EBay B&W Listing Don't want anyone to get scammed

    The below link shows a copied picture from one of my eBay ads that I did years ago. I had no idea people save these pictures and claim them as there own. The first picture in the ad showing the TV and rug in the back ground is of my living room in my house. If the seller is willing to pass off this picture as his own to unsuspecting buyers it makes you wonder what else he is doing? I just didn't want someone to get ripped off and then have it coming back on me because of that picture. Buyer beware!

      Seller removed picture but I'm sure the other pictures on there are borrowed.

          That's crazy... I really hate that... I mean.... how hard is it these days to take pictures and post them up...

          But I guess it's all about the rip off.

              This has happened to me before, too. Someone recognized a pic of mine and messaged me to let me know. I would definitely contact the seller directly and let him know you're watching. I did, and they were removed almost immediately.

                  Well this guy is at it again using my picture. This really tells a lot about this sellers character. You list $3800 worth of speakers and can't even take actual pictures. God help the buyers. Buyer beware of sfang1209 on ebay.

                      They only need one person to not realise its a scam, but its very annoying, especially when they put stuff up over and over again with the same pictures and text. And the text is normally a load of rubbish. There is a pair of 802s (I think they were) saying they were french speakers and had a load of stuff about another speaker not the 802. I am guessing the description was probably for a focal or something.

                          It sure is frustrating now doubt. I did a search for that guy's username in google and it looks like he has scammed a few people in the past. No surprise there!

                              B&W eBay scams
                              by theMaximus
                              I recently upgraded front speakers to 802D and listed my B&W 704 and HTM7 on eBay. After my auction ended sucessfully, one of the bidders notified me that someone in England listed the same speakers using all of my pictures from my listing. In his listing, he was telling people not to make bids...

                              Buyer Beware HTM7 listing on eBay
                              by dan87951
                              This eBay member has taken a picture from my HTM7 listing from over a year ago. The picture with the speaker, box, manual, and grill laying on the rug is from my house. Buyer beware who knows what else he is doing.

                              by hockey_101
                              Has anyone upgraded the plastic phase plug's on their B&W speakers for a pair of aluminum or copper ones similar to the phase plugs used in the signature speakers?

                              I found these on eBay and plan on upgrading my 684's, 686's, and HTM-62 Center Channel. I went out on a whim and purchased...
