Ebay Scam Warning

[Hbg]

Hi all. Today, I received an alert for a FV1 made by Pitbull Guitars (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Pit-Bull-Guitars-FV-1-Electric-Guitar-Kit-/253154327763?hash=item3af12c7cd3:g:3QQAAOSwtIBZuzI G). It's currently sitting at $35, and to those unfamiliar with Ebay buying, looks legit. The warning signs are pretty obvious.
I have a couple of screenshots, for your perusal.

Yes, it's a scam. It has happened before. http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=7814

For those of us that are unfamiliar with ebay buying... what are the "obvious" warning signs...apart from the price...

The lack of feedback ratings for the seller would be one place to look at plus the seller's location is shown in what I presume is Chinese lettering.

Pit Bull Guitars are only sold on eBay through their Australian eBay site. Unfortunately they still have their old company title, builkdyourownguitar, as the user name (presumably to keep the feedback stars), but the shop name is Pit Bull Guitars.

Anything else is just wrong.

Called Adam - he can request that they pull the ad. Good pickup Hbg.

I reported both to Ebay, as trademark infringements.
