    There is. Just do a buy it now which requires immediate payment.
    The main reason for sales not going through is sellers (or their mates), winning the auction by bidding it up themselves.
    If you did this at a real auction there are laws in place which mean you'd do time for it - the only way to make ebay legit is for the law to apply the same.

    Pretty sure I saw the guy pick these cues and cases up from JP a few weeks back when I placed my order.

    Sometimes I hate the cue police on here, you should only say something on a public forum if you are sure it is fake and you have some evidence or things on the cue that show it is surely fake. Don't get me wrong sometimes the cue police as I call them have stopped members being ripped off which is commendable and it's even something I have been involved in myself when I stopped a member called Maxz bidding on a fake Parris cue.
    When you called my cue firewood which was extremely rude and completely inaccurate I was genuinely insulted. To be honest I'm glad I managed to not go mad and start raging, my mum (who was 52) passed away very recently in tragic circumstances and the last thing I needed was somebody posting inaccurate incomplete information on the forum. I have always been a reputable buyer and seller on this forum and ebay so it's not nice that your reputation can be tarnished so easily with something that isn't true anyway. I had 1 buyer pull out for a deal at £950 and it was just after you posted what you did on the forum, to be fair he gave a different reason but I'm pretty sure that is why he suddenly withdrew his offer.
    BTW I did an eBay auction with a 99p start and no reserve to let the market decide what it was worth and it sold for £960 so it just shows it definitely isn't firewood.
    I really don't want to argue but I felt I had to say something when I saw you post, perhaps this would have been better to send it through pm
    Sorry for your recent loss..my apologies mate

    Sorry didn't want to put somebody off, was just asking the "cue police". I would call jp before buying though to verify the cues are genuine

    If they are not genuine i would think those buyers who bought them either got them and sent them back as fakes or the buyers thought better of it and cancelled

    Badge seems right but looks a bit like it was fitted after. But I'm no expert could be OK

    11 x feedback as a buyer though.
    Are you looking at completed listings by the seller
