I can only speak for my experience with seller wanglaoj117 (a. K. a. Fechang Li). His advertisement showed 2 American made electric guitars, a Ventures Model Mosrite 12 string and a Rickenbacker 370-12. After reviewing his feedback and assurances that "what you see in my pictuer (sp) is what I send" I placed an order for one of each guitar as shown. I received written confirmation that indeed what was shown was being sent and thought at 10 cents on the dollar this was a good deal. What I actually received however were 2 counterfeit "Rickenbackers" that were blatent fakes without warning that a substitution had been made. After going through customer support, their "generous refund offer" of $300 on a nearly $800 purchase was insulting expecially when I would have to return the counterfeit merchandise back to China at my own expense. That would cost me an additional $450. It was the fox guarding the henhouse folks. The $300 was what the fakes were probably really worth in the first place, the remainder of the $800 went to pay for the sellers "Free Shipping".
The Counterfeits cannot be resold on e-bay without fear of a copyright infringement lawsuit by the owner of Rickenbacker, John Hall. I rate this site $#@. Best advice - stay away from TradeTang.
