Spotted this awhile ago, it’s actually a image I uploaded to the forum 7 years ago of my old setup in my then bedroom, listed has a 40” when it’s actually a 46”, previously owned by Rowan Atkinson… don’t believe I’m he, will double check my passport

Will report I’m just one of those people that’s not very good at getting someone in trouble. Only place that image was posted/used was the old forum in a show your B&O, only use eBay to buy

I contacted an eBay seller recently to point out an error in his listing. He had stated that a BV10-32 stand would fit 'many other TVs'. In a friendly manner I pointed out that this was not the case. I did this mainly to protect potential B&O buyers and avoid their disappointment. Anyway, he became firstly very defensive, and then aggressive and rude in his responses to my messages. He also stated stated that he was a 'dealer' (although not listed as such on eBay). I reported him to eBay for both being rude and being a 'dealer posing as a private seller'. I am not sure what action eBay took (they don't let you know) but his listings disappeared and re-appeared a few days later under a different username! Buyer beware!

it is not your password. When you posted a pic here or in an other forum you find the most pics in google search again. Then everybody can copy that pic and can use it. That is not under the law but the most people give it a sh*t of that.

Had a similar problem with my BV 11 pictures posted to Beoworld some years ago, showing how to route the hidden cables from the wall to the hinge area. A dealer had the nerve to use one picture suggesting it was his own installation. I can't find it again……. presumably they've moved on from installing BV11's.
There is someone putting Beolab 28s (and recently I saw a pair of Beolab 50s listed which I suspect is the same) on ebay for an implausibly low ‘buy it now’ price. It’s happened repeatedly. Each time a different seller with loads of feedback and 100% score but their other items are completely unrelated and description is very generic. On one occasion I could see that the images had blatantly been reused from someone else’s listing. Before I got wise, I got very excited thinking I might be able to get a pair of Beolab 28s for £5K, but thinking it too good to be true, sent the seller a message and asked why he was selling so cheaply and got no reply.  I decided to leave it well alone… What I think is happening is that a scammer is hacking other people’s profiles, changing the bank details with the hope of getting paid when someone can’t help snapping up an apparent bargain.  Then speakers don’t arrive, buyer complains, scam seller is nowhere to be seen, perhaps the innocent schmuck whose profile got hacked has a nasty surprise. Ultimately ebay will protect the buyer, and its probably ebay out of pocket.
