I just found this thread and was reminded of a particularly unpleaseant experience that I had with Ebay member olcrow51.

I bought a couple of IMP cockpit kits and some Stuka wheel pants from the guy. On his adverts he advised that some modelling experience is required which wasn't a problem. He did forget to mention that this experience required you to throw the parts he sent away and scratch build replacements as the parts he sent would be unusable rubbish. The wheel pants were twisted about 3/4" out of line and looked like they had been glassed in the dark and the cockpit kits had coloured fiberglass parts that looked like half-chewed and spat-out candy sweets. Oh yeah, and no refunds - but "you can always ask the orient to make the parts for you!"

What is interesting though, is that the guy continued to correspond with me whilst I was waiting for my parts to arrive as I had recognised his name from a website dedicated to Hawker Tempest models (http://www.hawkertempest.se/rcmodel.htm).
During this period he told me that he occasionally acted as a 'consultant' to IMP Scale, and also I learned that he had access to two Ebay accounts - olcrow51 and pilot312 in Ocala Fl 34442.

It therefore comes as no surprise to see that IMP Scale or Innovative Model Products address is also, Fl 34442, USA.

The point I want to make though, especially regarding the legal threats that had occured in this thread, is that the guy I dealt with on Ebay was Greg Namey - You can draw your own conclusions!

I shall look forward to hearing from you Greg and your innovative legal team...
