Just out of curiosity has anyone had dealings with either, because to me they look to be differing sides of the same person.

The only reason why I am asking is that I have purchased an item from the ebay arm, and my banking has refused to make the payment as they are suspecting a fraud.
Appologies if the person behind this is on here, no offence intended, just seeking clarification, as my online banking has now been locked for a week.

You should be safe via Ebay as things are protected if goods not delivered. I would be more cautious on the direct link unless anyone knows better.
 
The fact there is no 'about' information, just a contact form, concerns me?

There is a lot of potential 'stock' for an EvilBay 'registered as a private seller', but what do I know?

Oh is there any difference in guarantee on Ebay between normal and private seller.
 
As things stand, I made an offer for two coaches, and they were accepted, the first payment went through fine it was the second one that didn't and hasn't. The first has been posted, but I have no tracking info (another potential alarm bell) How I pay for the second if things are genuine, is now going to be complicated, with my internet banking blocked, I may have to let it slide. If I don't pay will no dont get listed as a bad purchaser, but I can put up with that. It's just how I am perceived by the seller, if things are above board, that is of concern to me.
 
Interesting that, on ebay, he's selling a 2046 as "New" when (according to GartenBahn DatenBank) that model was made between 1987 and 1989. I've heard of "New Old Stock" but . . .

I may be bring overly-pedantic here but he also say "This locomotive has been tested before listing" though without saying what the outcome of that test was.

I can understand a bank refusing to complete a payment (if they suspected fraud, or money laundering), but why would they freeze the would-be buyers account? Surely it's the seller's account they should show interest in.

Just my six penn-orth.

I traded out some 1000 + model racing cars items, static and slot car (including, item by item, an entire scenic Scalextric layout) over a 10 year period on Ebay. Only listed 20 items at a time though, maximum. That lot paid for the garden railway and its roster. No massive garden shed but there is a reason I bought a defunct Antiques Shop in 1999, out of all the other choices. You know my address Phil :D Max
 
I had a look at both sites, looking at the ABt Control Car.

Ebay price is £399 but the actual site is £425.

Looks like a business, but on Ebay it is registered as a private seller. A bit naughty methinks....
 
Ok to sort of bring this to a close for the moment, pending delivery.

I have lost the second coach, not too bothered, it was an offer that I did not expect to pay off, like the first and they both were accepted. I've had a conversation with the seller and it's gone, so someone else bought it.
Well at least I can buy some figures to populate the first coach if/when it arrives. Will post an update/photo pending what happens next week.
