Wow. They even have what must be a "Made in China" sticker where the "Made in USA" sticker used to be when they were made here. The new China Ric factory still makes it with the vintage tone selector. Now we know why RIC is closed this week. He must have sold the factory to China. At least the China Ric's are less. At $1.25 each, most of us here will pick up a few dozen.

eBay is flooded with thousands of fraud auctions like that every day. They are all in China, most of them zero feedbackers with nonsense eBay usernames (like w45juyth345), and none of them actually has the item they are "selling" using stolen pics.
I have developed a selective blindness to items where the currency is RMB.
What I can't understand is why eBay don't stop this. The least they could do is enable us to filter out items from China, with the Advanced Search page (just as we can choose to view only items located in a certain country).

There are lots of things ebay should be doing to protect buyers but aren't. All there care about is getting their percentage, if they get a percentage of a fraudulent auction to them the money is just as green as that from a legitimate one. You have to be careful, there are all kinds of scams there, from missing info to out and out fraud like this one.

If they try to make Ebay idiot proof, they'll just build a better idiot.

"If they try to make Ebay idiot proof, they'll just build a better idiot."
Same goes for politics, driving, computers/technology, power tools, fast-food menus, and household appliances.

Many non-idiots get ripped off there also, they have absolutely no policing even though they say they do unless powers that be complain and I mean the big boys.
