![[The Talking Machine Forum - For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings]](/styles/we_universal/theme/images/the_talking_machine_forum.png)
The following eBay listing for an Edison Spring Motor with Bettini attachment is fraudulent. I know this because the exact machine sits in my phonograph room. It was listed a last month and I reported it but eBay didn’t remove it. Now I am asking for others to report it as well. Unfortunately the reporting function on eBay doesn’t allow for additional data. Just broad reasons ,,.. anyway, beware of this auction and if our can report it it would be great to protect unsuspecting buyers.
Thanks,
Gregg

zonophpones7, I assume the images he used are yours as well, compounding his deception with a copyright infringement. Proof of the origin of the images should be enough for eBay to cancel the auction... assuming eBay gives a hoot.

Once upon a time eBay allowed space to explain why a report was being made. It's crazy that they no longer allow you to supply proof.
