Yes this happened to us too, for a Concertina, looks like a geuine offer but on closer inspection it isnt the origional seller, or the person who 'won' the auction who is offering it. The clincher is the request for payment by western union.. It appears that high priced items and concertina's fall into that category making an easy target.

Both of the instances of these frauds were reported to EBAY with the usual lack of response. One from America was reported to the FBI who did respond. I could tell you what they said but then I would have to kill you.. ;-)

Be on the lookout friends.
