yeah ebay is bad news... I sold my 1994 Yngwie Malmsteen fender stratocaster on there a few years back. I got a fair bit more than I piad for it, with the winning bid being £640, which in all honesty I think far exceeds the guitar's value, in regards to the quality of the instrument.
NOTE: I sold the guitar as 'as stock' which it was.
Within a few days I constantly had phone calls with the guy trying to claim back money, using many excuses and reasons, such as:
*Your guitar doesn't have the oringal fretting, I need £70 to get it re fretted.
- To which I proved it hadn't been refretted and managed to convince him after a week or so.
Then...
*It isn't original pickups, I need money to get the correct ones
- I again replied and informed him they were correct and asked what his sources were. I sent him webpages, including the fender one, with the pickup types highlighted, then re sent the pictures featuring them that were also placed on the ebay bidding page
That sorted that for a few days, until:
*I've checked the pickups, and the wiring and tone pots have all been changed and there's a botch on the circuitory
- Which there wasn't. I'd opened the back up to give it a good clean incase of a pedantic buyer, and also had the guitar looked over and 'cleaned' buy a guitar technician person
After that...
*The guitar has several dents and the nut isn't correct
- Again, reference to the pictures and original page shown these to correct in my favour. One of the dents he complained of was definately not there when it left me. I had no photographic proof, but it may have occured in transit or something.
The guy wasn't a bad person, I think he was just annoyed at bidding so much for the guitar, which was not my fault as it wasn't falsely advertised etc. I did feel bad for taking the complete amount, but I did discuss this before buying and illustrated how many other bidders had bid high amounts too, so in the end threw in £20-£50 of YJM merchandise and cables etc out of courtesy.
