It's a scam ... they're using the same wording and everything ... the new sellers are a Bathtub company ?!?!

Strawfields · August 10th, 2008, 09:36 PM

I sent this guy an E-mail asking him if he actully hadn't just bought this from the Hollywood company

I got an E-mail from E-bay which said

"We'd like to let you know that an email you received recently from vintagetub may be untrustworthy. We encourage you to be cautious about emails from this member and we recommend that you don't respond to any further communication from them.

Our records indicate that you recently sent an email to, or received an email from this member through the eBay email system (e.g. via "Ask Seller a Question" or "Contact eBay Member").

Sometimes people misuse eBay accounts by sending emails inviting you to buy or sell outside of eBay. They may also send questions unrelated to eBay - hoping that you will respond so that they can obtain your email address.

If someone asks you to buy or sell an item outside of the eBay platform, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Off-eBay transactions are not protected by our Feedback system and protection services. To find out more, copy this link into a new browser window:

Recognising genuine Second Chance Offers

A Second Chance Offer always receives a new item number and is shown in My eBay. To accept a genuine Second Chance Offer you must log in to My eBay and complete the purchase on the eBay website. If you can't find the offer in the Buying section of My eBay, it's not valid.

Protect yourself from email scams and fraud

Always complete your purchases on the eBay website - it's the safest way to trade with other eBay members. Always make sure that your User ID is listed as the winning bidder on the "Item ended" page before sending money for a purchase. Please report anyone who asks you to buy or sell outside eBay to Customer Support.

If you've sent payment for an item but haven't received it, please let us know. You can contact us from any eBay Help page.

" We'd like to let you know that the email you received recently from
vintagetub may be untrustworthy. We encourage you to be cautious
about emails from this member"............Hmmm Sounds like they're talking
bout that Seller...

Particularly words like untrustworthy and cautious.

3 x Weeks now and still no Feedback from Buyer or Seller ......Buyer will
be due to buy another bottle of Redken Daily Shampoo by now

Bottom must have fallen out of the " Worlds Rarest " Gear Market......
Seller is now dealing in Furniture as well This from a self proclaimed
successful music store in Hollywood ?......maybe they're the Worlds Rarest
Lounge Seats. Purchased from a widow who's husband got them from
the factory custom made for him. A note detailing they're history is
available and will be provided to the winning bidder ?.....
Whats next....selling womens jeans ? Oh sorry he did a month or so
back..... maybe some Artworks from Old Masters then

No no no --- Times being tough, they are branching out, and selling Vintage Rock Memorabilia ... note that association with Vintage Tubs ... Next item up on the auction: the terlets from CBGB's. Complete with an authentication letter confirming that Stiv Puked Here
