J66Bass

Sure no problem at all these pictures were taken outside for daylight early morning , and definitely do not represent the beauty I will do some tonight and videos and will try to find some on my mobile now , the bass from 1979 is as new for the age  , I’m only selling it because it’s unlined and not confident to play with it , i collect 80.s bass and need back the money I spend last week on another line Aria fretless , it’s a lovely bass vey light super easy to play at a lovely price, I have sold 3/4 on this forum and always speak with honesty ..

Any taker this is a great buy , available to try at my house in New Malden. Any home pick up and I will lower the price .Uk . Thanks 

À extremely rare opportunity to own a 1979 Aria Precision fretless ,all original , fully professionally set up

Hello I spent Friday,Saturday,Sunday night at Glastonbury ,my high light and cool show was Nameskin , great set , cleverly entertaining set with superb riff on guitar and great great the girl bass player, incredible singer even fans went topless…another Highlight were Kelis amazing bass player who is so groove, love the pretenders ,Rick Astley was honestly pretty good , I felt asleep watching Lana, nearly burst my ear listening G N R so loud too many solo thought Duff was superb normal he’s the bass player, Elton Jon was in keys for once ( no offence) or some incredible musicians around him we did enjoy it , felt pretty overwhelmed by the shear number of people luckily I only had a few stairs to climb as I truly enjoyed my weekend at home 😊

Explain to me why this is a scammer? 

I will reply To that why I believe it could be a scam and perhaps I could be wrong

, firstly the manner it approach was odd  and not ticking the usual box , in ten years I have been exchanging, buying and selling never to me I was offered a deposit, then he mentioned a non refundable deposit only for me to find out he paid a fee then I wrote to him the bass was ready to be posted fully insured and I needed the rest of the money, then without any reply, he sent money with A Echeque , on advice from here and me calling PayPal I was told here and the PayPal phone line  to not sent the bass , then I texted 2/3 to no answer on his money been pending and I could not sent the bass until clearance of the money, again no text no explanation, the money was this morning withdrawn for my PayPal acc with again no explanation ….

I have sympathy with @J66Bass having gone through a similar scenario myself recently. In my case the transaction did actually go through eventually but all the way through it felt "not right".

 

As I said the deal did eventually happen but I thought it best to be over cautious where the situation could easily have been a scam...there are no shortage of scumbags who are trying it on currently.

 

I think it's best that the FB post be deleted - after all you are £30 up. Not a very good scam if it was one.

Thanks I have deleted the post …thanks again

I saw the post on FB, I think you should delete it if you haven't done already. Unfortunately, 'ghosting' and 'non-communication' is a very common thing when you are buying and selling over the internet - I don't agree with it, but it is the way people are these days. Not just buying and selling basses, but any communication they percieve as 'uncomfortable' - many people just block or avoid the person in question. I don't think this behaviour means they are a scammer, yes it stings a little bit if you've waited a couple of weeks for a sale. But on the positive side, you have his deposit. I'd take that as a win, & leave the poor bloke alone

I have deleted the post thanks

Perhaps he wasn't a scammer, fancied the bass, paid you a deposit and couldn't come up with the rest of the funds? You're being a bit harsh on the fella, particularly how you're bad mouthing him on FB

 

Hello , I firstly definitely did not bad mouth him on Fb and it’s definitely not my genre, i gave his name and it’s very common to do it to warn

Sellers About perhaps a possible scam , I believe my FB POST is entirely fair and about awareness on someone who I BELIEVE  is a scammer or not , I did everything on my side to wait 3 weeks on a sale , not point to deal who someone is behaving this way ,  not reply in any messages, no apologies, nothing, basically nothing , completely pointless and disappointed, a simply explanation on his part will have been welcomed, I received not a word, now if you believe I’m incorrect well I’m sorry…and will delete my post on Fb , also I like to point it pay a fee to be refunded while We agreed it will be not refunded I have proof of textsss  I only became aware he paid a fee a few day ago when I call PayPal myself..,

Well done for getting £30 out of a scammer!

Yes nice strings on the go 😊

Hello again thanks the support, I m short of a no sale, and no money arrived in my PayPal as it was cancelled, I gain 30 pounds witch I will spend on strings, still got my bass , I probably going to try to sell either now or in September, I contacted the seller on 2 occasions this week putting no pressure and stay polite ,without any response, kept all the messages, his answer silence may prove it’s all but perhaps a scam ,  thanks again JM

… in the old days PayPal defaulted to e-cheque when you made a payment without sufficient funds in your account. Meant you could buy something, for example a BIN on eBay, and then you had several days to find the cash to clear the cheque 

I assume he hasn’t got his money, I wait but it’s a wait 😢

Never had an E cheque, why is the buyer not doing a bank transfer or cash 

No clue, I believe perhaps he hasn’t been paid or receive his wages

Mmm, e-cheque, nothing but trouble in my experience. if anyone paid me that way these days the deal would be off, in fact I didn't know they still existed to be honest. As others have said, do not let go of the bass and even if it clears - a big if - check your rights, you might find the reason the buyer has used e-cheque is to make an dodgy reclaim of the money easier.

 

You said above that you felt nervous, I suspect you have good reason to be honest. Hope it works out OK 👍

You know when it doesn’t tick the boxes , I prefer Basschat deal or perhaps Uk bass Fb group, the buyer is I believe does not belong here and bass Fb Uk groupe chat , i Hope it’s legitimate, perhaps he hasn’t be paid yet , I’m still very unsure about the deal hopefully I will, get the money I will wait   Thanks for the answers

The sender can cancel a pending eCheque, which they can do by contacting their bank.

If an eCheque has cleared, it can't be cancelled. But the sender can request a refund.

Don't release the bass until the funds have definitely cleared.

Bonjour Jean Luc Je pense que tu es français , incroyable cette affaire, never happens to me before, I shall wait, thanks again
