dodgy eBay seller? - UPDATE

[Adam Cotton]

Christopher Nock (batavia-bugs) has just posted a warning in Insectnet Trading Reports about an Indonesian eBay seller using his old insect photos on his listings:

insectnet.proboards.com/thread/7147/wary-ebay-seller-bpalamsyah6

I thought it would be worth posting a warning here, as only Insectnet members can read the Trading Reports section, so non-members will not know about this problem.

It seems that actually Christopher Nock may have been mistaken. He has just posted the following in reply to some questions from a member who had previously bought beetles from this seller with no problems:


I will have to withdraw my comments.
I've had a closer look at the photos. There is an element of doubt that the photos could be mine. They are similar but they could well be genuine. My photos are over a year old now and I cannot regain them back from eBay to compare. The white ruler used is a common type in Indonesia, available in many stationery stores.
I may have maligned bpalamsyah6 without proof.
He has a 100% feedback rating with eBay, and maybe that record should stand for itself.
