If there was any justice in this world, that would happen. Unfortunately, as we all know, in our modern world justice no longer exists.
After numerous contacts with multiple reps at Reverb.........nothing but the run around and nonsensical excuses. One phone call to PayPal and the payment was instantly reversed. It seems the scammers account had already been flagged, and thus, I got an instant refund. Absolutely no thanks to Reverb. So, the lesson here is - always pay on Reverb with PayPal, and always pay PayPal with a credit card. The more layers you can put between you and the seller/scammer, the safer your hard earned money is.😁
 
I just received a comical "we got your refund issued" email from Reverb. This is the text of my response:

"Paypal implemented my full, and instantaneous, refund at my request. I contacted Paypal (where I was easily able to actually speak to an actual human being) due to the intolerable lack of action on Reverb's part. Reverb has an obvious gaping hole in it's payment system that allowed my payment, with zero warning to myself, to go directly to a seller with ZERO feedback. I have been a seller, and buyer, for years with 70+ sales and 5 star feedback, and I STILL have to enter tracking info before Reverb issues my payment. That fact alone is insulting, and infuriating!!! If this scammer figured out how to exploit Reverbs faulty system, others will do likewise. There is never just one cockroach.

As far as providing Reverb with any updates on this matter......Why would I waste even more of my precious time?

Once again, thanks for nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving, and thank God for PayPal!"

I wonder if they will respond?;)
 
I sold a couple basses in no-time, so i have space for one new bass!

Ok, here is the final post, I hope, on this scam. Once my refund posted, I was surprised to see that, due to the recent decline in the value of the euro, that my refund from PayPal was $64usd less than my original payment. So, time to turn on the charm! I contacted Reverb again, explained my case, with lots of facts, and told them the very least they could do under the circumstances was give me $64 in credit on my account. I am pleased to say, they complied, and once again tried to claim it was not their fault. Whatever. It's good to know that, even though in the past year and I half I have felt like I was going to lose it a few times, I can still be quite persuasive when I want to be. ;)
 
I recently switched back from the Source Audio Orbital to the Boss PH-3 due to power requirements (I needed something under 100mA to be compatible with my power supply). I have to admit I no longer like the Boss pedal as much as I used to. I just ordered one of these instead:

Yeah— I know - but I needed something for travel and on my boat, being the current construction zone that it is. Something durable and relatively compact that I won’t worry too much about being lost or damaged-

For my upcoming Christmas/New Years stay at my parents’ home in Florida (in case I get restless)—

For my Vox and Marshall heads in a manageable size for the boat- the birch wood cab and 16 ohm 12 inch Celestion Vintage 30 speaker should give a sweet sound for my Gibson Flying V’s and Explorers-

Two Notes Reload Reactive-Active Attenuator will allow let me to drive the amps’ power sections hard without shattering my eardrums or disturbing my neighbors- will also allow direct input to Logic or a mixer and re-amp a recording while listening through the cab in real time.

Professional Sound Isolating™ Earphones

SE215 Sound Isolating™ Earphones provide clear sound and deep bass through a single high-definition driver in a durable, discrete design with detachable 3.5 mm (1/8”) audio cable.

We're going ampless with the entire band. Already got the wireless gear but the in-ears needed an upgrade. These Shures cancel out more external sound than Sennheisers in the same price range.

For bass tone I have the new Tech21 bass fly rig v2 and Cab M+ with Le Bass preamp combo. Still trying to figure out which to use on the speakersim side of things. Tech21 fits inside the gigbag with the bass so that's nice.
