    It looks fine but it's used though, so the guy will probably not be responsible for any paint chips:rolleyes:

    Obviously, the seller doesn't know much about the fakes. There is no way that a NS-7000 can has the shaft number starting with "3X.....". (Because it's a new racket at the end of 2004, the number should be in 5)

    eBay suspends freedom270281

    I received this a few days ago, seems eBay is doing something afterall.


    ------------------------------------------------
    We are writing to inform you that we recently ended all listings for seller
    freedom270281 on eBay. The seller’s privileges to trade on eBay have been
    temporarily suspended while we investigate this matter further. (The current
    account status can be viewed next to the user ID of the seller on the eBay
    site.).

    Our records indicate that you were a participating bidder or buyer in this
    seller’s listing. You will need to use your own personal judgment in deciding
    whether to complete this transaction.

    As described in our User Agreement, eBay is only a venue, and we cannot
    guarantee that sellers will complete transactions nor can we guarantee the
    delivery or quality of bought items. As a basic principle, a buyer should know
    with whom he or she is dealing before sending a payment to a seller.

    Depending on the circumstances, you might decide to delay payment to a seller
    until completely confident that the transaction will be completed safely. If you
    decide to delay payment but already paid by personal cheque, you may wish to
    contact your bank to discuss whether it would be possible to stop payment on the
    cheque. If you paid with a credit card, you may wish to contact your credit
    card company’s security department to discuss this payment – many companies
    provide protection in certain circumstances. If you paid by money order, you
    may want to contact that money order company for information on how to stop
    payment.

    Please note that the ending of the listings for this seller is a precautionary
    measure. The grounds for this suspension may be the result of a mistake or
    misunderstanding.


    Customer Support (Trust and Safety Department) -------------------------------------------------------------

    One down, zillions to go.

    Well, I don't know if it's eBay who suspended his account or himself decided to terminate the account. The reason I say this is that, this seller, freedom270281 , has several eBay accounts. Losing one doesn't hurt him at all, I am sure he will come back as he has shown some very strong attitude to me that he wants to profit a lot from badminton in our private talks.

    That really is a silly question. He/she should do their own research and determine themselves. But if they don't know if a racquet is authentic or not, they shouldn't be selling at all.

    Even if you don't know its fake, it's illegal. You're still selling a fake.

    Yeah, we're humans.. And we're able to find out how to tell between a real and fake racquet. Sellers are human too. If they don't bother to find out, then we shouldn't bother to buy their racquets.:D

    The problem is, most of eBay sellers are only thinking about "How to profit", not caring about the autheticity. That's human nature....
