You know what's scary, this guy isn't the only one building and selling potentially dangerous electronics. There's plenty out there just waiting to start a fire, or electrocute someone. 

Great news. Did you receive your new amp yet?

Yay! A happy ending!

Yes, happy ending. I hope your new amp continues to improve and ends up being totally satisfying. Hopefully no one else falls victim to that idiot's pitiful excuse of an amplifier. 

What's his ebay account name? I'm curious to see if he's still trying to sell time bombs.  

I just read his response to the justified feedback you left.. HILARIOUS!!! "Get away here, just play around and dont know how to use tube amp."  Boy O Boy, this guy is something else. He should have been a comedian.  

It seems this guy is infallible...he has 4 negative feedback reports and his answer to all of the complaints is the same arrogant BS......3 of the 4  complaints were DOA amps/tuners of some kind with the 4th an arcy sparky failure LOL..

Sheesh what a tool.

Peete.

Peete,

I read all of them too. The guy's a complete idiot. 

Another neighbor saved by the gang. Good job mates.

I actually filed a prohibited items report with eBay about this very item after reading about the OP's struggles; I can't stand this type of behavior by a seller, especially when it can put people's lives and homes at risk.

I e-mailed a detailed but short technical and objective explanation about why this type of flawed design is so dangerous and that it should not allowed to be sold on eBay as "new" gear. That is vintage gear can be offered under the pretext that it may not conform to current electrical and safety standards.

While I know eBay can't possibly investigate every case to their fullest extent due to the incredible amount of items being offered; I was quite dismayed that only hours after I filed my report I received this canned response. Which leads me to believe that not much time was invested on eBay's part to really evaluate the situation:

Thanks for reporting listing 270561315358 to us. 

I investigated this listing and found that it didn't violate policy. To 
protect the security and privacy of our members, I can't give you any 
more details about why I made this decision. 

In the future, try using the "Report item" link on the right side of the 
listing. It's the fastest and easiest way to report a listing. 

Thanks again for your report and also for your efforts in helping keep 
the eBay Community safe. 

Sincerely, 

Aidan

eBay Customer Support 

Hopefully this guy will be out after a few more inevitable negative feedbacks but not soon enough in my opinion. And BTW I did use the "Report item" link on the right side of the page...

I bet the ebay customer support personnel don't give a rat's ass as long as they get their money......They likely don't understand the technical side of the issue either. I'm glad the Op got his moeny back but feel sorry for the next sucker duped by this fellows dyslexic assemblies.

Peete.

This guy may be out sooner than we think; Check out the new listing for the same amp:

270585197331

I have just filed another report about his very improper use of profanity; this will get you kicked of eBay almost faster than anything else. 

He may have just sealed his own fate!
