WRONG

A friend sent me a circular email regarding eBay fees yesterday, he complains regularly to and about eBay but i read it anyway.

"I am writing to complain about the recent changes that eBay.co.uk has made to their fee structure regarding postage costs.

They have recently added a new " final value fee" of 10% for every p&p cost a seller has on their items. Postage and packing is both a service (not provided by eBay) and an expense incurred by the seller for shipping costs and packaging materials. Bearing this in mind, surely eBay are not legally allowed to incur a fee against this cost.
Hopefully you are already aware of this new fee implementation and Trading Standards are working towards eradicating this malpractice and resolving the issue"

Definitely can't be true i thought, so i looked at my seller fees for last month. Not wrong, so how come i hadn't been made aware of it ? I suppose it came in one of those "amendments to your eBay seller agreement" emails we are always getting, must be the one that told us "The Seller" will hereinafter be called "The Exploited".
So i sell a theoretical cylinder head for £200 via eBay, they take £20 (10%), fair enough, they provide the website and advertising and present my sales to millions of viewers. My buyer is in Australia so shipping is £100 but now they are taking £10 of that, why ? WTF has the shipping costs (paid by the buyer to whatever shipping company we use) got to do with them. Surely they have no right to do this, its just not fair. Of course sellers will now add to the shipping costs to cover it, the buyers will complain and give us a shitty star rating for postage costs and maybe bad feedback, we will complain to eBay and, as always, they will ignore our complaint. BASTARDS.

I'm not sure if this applies to other countries or whether its just eBay UK but check your fees, write to Watchdog, Rip off Britain, The Monopolies Commission and your MP or better still find their address and send them a shit in a box with a little flag in it saying "here is your 10%", yes sounds amusing but just imagine if we all did that ?.

ONE OF US...

 

...is going to have to buy THIS

MOTHERFAKERS

 

Someone decided it was a good idea to copy Sideburn's t shirts and sell them on eBay, thankfully they have now been removed. Pleased to say the person who copied my stickers has also deleted the sales. If you helped these people change their minds in any way good on you.. 
If you want EtR stickers see the sidebar...
If you want Sideburn gear go here

So now do i want one ? , only one i could find in budget was this brokeback fastback, £1200 buy it now on Ebay, looked again today and its gone. How drunk do you have to be to think this is a good idea ?

EBAY RULES

If you read this you probably link to my sales of parts on Ebay or vice-versa so this is for you. I am lucky that as i sell mostly parts for non standard bikes i get to deal with good people who understand that you make things fit but unfortunately there are exceptions.
Please dont ask if a custom or one off part will fit your bike, how should i know, you make it fit or you take it to someone who can. Really if you have to ask you shouldnt buy it.
I dont mind people texting questions but if you email me in "text speak" i will not answer. "av u got a bin m8", yes i have and your question is going in it.
The stuff i sell is generally not new, that is why it is cheaper than new, if you are in any doubt as to the condition ask before buying.
I put my contact details on all my Ebay sales, if you want to ask anything that is not to do with the listed item mail me direct or phone. Ebay encrypt or withhold mail sent via them if it contains certain words, phone numbers or email addresses.
If you want to buy something of mine without bidding e mail me direct and make me an offer, but if i dont think it is as much as i might get in the auction i wont be accepting !
"There are a lot of wankers on Ebay" how many times have you heard that ? partly true but i have been dealing in parts for 30 years and tossers have always been tossers.
Thankyou to all my past, present and future customers, we would all prefer to sit in a sunny field selling things for cash but thats not how the world works, this is what we are stuck with ....for now.

BAYWATCH, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY

All three of these sales are currently live on UK ebay.


This beautiful little '40s NSU engine and box has to be worth £1000 ? Rather strangely listed under Collectables which is probably why it hasnt sold. Buy it here



Plunger Tiger Cub heap of the week, currently at £500. I once did a lot of miles on the back of one of these things while my bike was off the road, it was not a great experience. Details say "worth £3,500 when restored". is this the same £3,500 that will buy you a perfectly good Ironhead Sportster, T140, Z1000 etc. Do everyone a favour and push it back in the shed for another 37 years.



You can do some good things with air cooled Zs, this is not one of them.

I decided my little Motobi needed a post of its own (to lean on ?) so here it is in all its glory. If you are thinking i must be stupid to buy such a thing the Gold Flash at the bottom sold on ebay last night for £1700, no documents, engine seized, maybe bought by Brian Blessed and his brave Hawkmen.
