Ebay selling my missing amplifier


8 months ago I sent an amplifier to europe for upgrades. The amp went missing and there were investigations that went unresolved. I happened to be searching on ebay and noticed the amp and when I magnified it Bingo the serial number was same. It is an ebay seller store that is listing it. Ebay has not yet responded after several attempts. What next?

Here’s my advice. Remove ALL reference to the make model and eBay listing. You should really consider removing this post entirely. If the seller gets wind of it poof. If it left your state, you should have contacted the FBI. This is a major grand larceny offense. Here’s the other issue, how did the seller  take ownership?  If so, who actually stole it?  This person may have purchased it not knowing the unit was stolen. The FBI or police will need to get to the bottom of it. Lastly, next time you think of sending such an expensive item overseas or even within the US, do NOT send it by UPS or FedEx. At minimum, use DHL or a proper international freight company and through a freight forwarder. I can’t believe UPS insures items that cost $50k. Best of luck and eBay is not that difficult to reach by phone. I’ve dealt with them but long ago. Amazon the same.

@facten, I must say that is the most idiotic, defeatist bs response and false! If the product crossed state lines it is an FBI, Federal Bureau of Investigation case. State and local authorities have no jurisdiction in other states. Your fraud experience is irrelevant here and evidently the wronged should do nothing. It’s a legal issue and you think $50k into worth anyone’s time? And how do you know or not if this heist was an individual or one  working within a criminal conspiracy. Brainiac, this wasn’t fraud! There are separate groups within the FBI just like within the NY or LA PDs.  They don’t cherry pick. If there’s evidence—in thhis case a $50j event where the potential whereabouts is know, what do you think they might do? Maybe there’s a large organization  located there with assorted high worth items!’ Really, I guess you know everything. News flash, you do not! Plus it helps to be persistent. I love one size fits all know-it-alll dudes. Original poster. Be aggressive, demanding, unwilling to not take no for an answer. As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You may recover your equipment or you may not but at least you have tried! Just whatever you do please don’t listen to this dude. I’ve had people tracked down , arrested and sent to prison three times where I was a crime victim, one a violent one.
