Goodbye Audiobuy...
July 2020: After briefly resurfacing, the scam web site audiobuy.com.au has finally been removed for good. The AUDA has deleted the domain name from Paul Williams (as he is not an Australian resident or has an Australian company or trade mark).
The domain name has been purchased by a marketing company who are trying to sell it.

July 2018: audiobuy.com.au has resurfaced again. Sadly we haven't seen the last of this dodgy character.
You can see here the audiobuy Australian trademark has expired.

He is not an Australian resident and no longer holds a legitimate trademark.

Fact: audiobuy.com.au is a grey importer, it is NOT an Australian business.
Fact: It has no staff in Australia, no stock in Australia, no office in Australia.
Fact: We purchased a PreSonus product (an HP4 headphone amplifier) from audiobuy.com.au and it arrived with a USA power supply (110 Volts) making it unusable in Australia without an expensive step down transformer.
Fact: Every product is sent from overseas.
Fact: audiobuy is replicating this grey market business model in many countries, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa etc..
Fact: Link Audio will not honour warranty, rebates or redemption products for any products purchased from audiobuy.com.au
