RE: got a problem with ebay, please help (in reply to Florian)
The more I think about this the more I think it's a scam trying to panic you into sending off the money BUT ... on another forum there is a post where something similar happened and a guitar arrived unexpectedly followed soon by a phone call from 'the delivery company' saying that it had been delivered in error and that their 'driver would call back to pick it up'. In this case the guitar had been charged to the receivers credit card and the 'driver' was really collecting the guitar presumably never to be seen again, not that the people gave it to him. SO... call your credit card company and make sure nothing has been charged to you so you don't find out the hard (and expensive) way. Better to be sure than sorry. There is just so much identity fraud about these days it's not funny.
Just for info: here in sunny Canada there is a scam going at the moment where people from the East coast phone old people who live on the West coast and claim to be the old persons 'favorite grandson/daughter' they tell a story of being arrested for drunk driving and wanting to keep it from their parents and so ask 'grandma' for money to pay 'for lawyers'. They seem to be very convincing as a bunch of old folk have sent various amounts of money, one old lady had a whole bunch of calls over one weekend and kept being asked for 'just a little more money'. In the end she sent them about $20,000 in all. No one has been caught yet that I've heard about.

Since the other thread is locked:
Ok Kehati, i just emailed this guy myself to find out the truth. Not only because of you, but also because in the past i was going to order one of these french guitars to see how they are.
We will find out the truth. He will either join the foro and comment or send me a messange and i will post it.
Simon you can also lock this thread if you want, until i receive a message , then you can unlock so the ebay seller can answer or i can post the answer. I will PN you in that case. Or you can leave it open with the comment that no one should write anything , only the ebay seller or me with his message.

good! It will also be in your interest . If we 100% know that you told us the truth, then people will trust you and maybe sell you a guitar here too. But if we don't know exactly what happened, there will always be some scepsis left from this ebay issue.
