EBAY

Post by jimszx14 »

Perhaps it is just me but I genrally have a look at ebay for z1000 parts. The other day I was looking at an American forum and one of the members of that forum said they had found an item on ebay.uk. I hadn't see the item on international ebay so googled ebay.uk and all these items game up that I had never seen before. It appears ebay.uk doesn't come up with the international ebay or perhaps I am just dumb and have missed something.

I've purchased parts from eBay UK and USA - no problems at all and usually much cheaper. :D

Just have each major ebay site as a seperate short-cut on your desktop. UK, US, OZ and ebay motors.

Stuff from the UK is generally posted as quickly as the US - the Yanks sure know what 'customer service' means ! :kuda:

IMO the old Ebay format was better for finding what you want as the search didn't need to be quite as 'refined' .
The Yanks are pretty good sellers to date ...

A common winge of mine is that stuff from Michigan vie USPS for instance arrives a week before stuff ordered from bloody Adelaide or Sydney via Aust post!!!!

Yeah - have to agree with fast shipping - my replacement gearbox took 6 days and cost $160 inc freight.

Going to cost me more to have it installed.

Thanks for the timely reminder - I'd forgotten this peculiarity and found a few good leads for my new forks on the UK site.
