Below is a copy of email text I wrote to an EBAY user 'whartonby'in regards to an item I purchased.  It finally came this morning, but looking at the postage and packaging it seems to have come from Russia.  Upon inspection the case has a crack in it but it looks clean, crisp and original.  The CD itself stands out as a bootleg as the colours are dark and less vibrant, color run into the title font also looks present as well as scanner/print lines deep within the label.  The underside of the CD is silver and looks original too but only 'OL0506' can be seen on the inner rim.

 Based on the feedback of an EBAY user called 'znooq' dated on 17th May 2006 he wasn't too happy with purchase either and has links available to pictures showing the CD along side the original CD, from his "About Me" page on EBAY. Check them out if you are wary about this user. I never got one email back from the user and was going to wait another week before reporting to EBAY.

 

 

Still haven't received any communication or item from you & am getting quite worried about my purchase especially after looking into this & found out following information which I'm sure you are aware.

When I bought the item (4879133985) it ended 11th May 2006 at 13:12:16 BST on a "Buy it now" at £5.99 (not including P&P). I've paid instantly by Paypal & it has been sent to you on 13th May 2006.

 

I've noticed the same item, (4877834363) has been sold to a certain user called 'Crowe1975' on 10th May 2006 at 15:33:21 using the "Buy it now" at £5.99 (not including P&P).

 

After just making another check on my Ebay account & emails today I see you've got it for sale YET AGAIN! (4880671032) & it ends on 17th May 2006 at 21:59:19 BST.

What is the deal here, have you got multiple original copies of the album for sale & therefore I'll be receiving one soon? Are you flogging off copies based on what I've read in your feedback? Or is someone getting conned here?

 

No results = Ebay email.
