If you sell a bike on ebay in the motorcycle section, the fee is fixed (I think it is £35) and you can send email addresses and phone numbers prior to sale. ( The listing fee is paid whether sold or not just like any mag/paper) If however, you list a bike in the spares area you can't swap info AND you will be shafted for their commission ) approx 12% to a maximum of £250 (I think). Unless the seller have an '80% off fees' offer (Which I often do)Then the fees are minimal.
Once sold you should be able to swap numbers and emails at will.
C'mon Julie, what is the issue with the bike ;)
Nurse Julie:
I haven't seen the bike up close and personal, it's an issue with the discription and the seller.
The ad says its been fully restored, it hasn't, the chap told me he had a head gasket replaced and the clutch replaced and the frame has been powder coated, but he can't remember when. He can't remember how long he's owned it, he doesn't know if it has a V5. He didnt know his son had advertised it on ebay. He thinks it been off road for 20 years but it hasn't been taxed since 1985, then he said he rode it up the drive about 4 years ago.
It says 100% positive feedback but there are 2 negative feedbacks if you look through the list.
It's got the wrong seat on it for starters😁.
It all just doesn't stack up, it's all very iffy. If it had been as described in the ad, I would have bought it by now and so would a few other people I know.
Someone may go and buy it and it could be a wonderfully cheap purchase but, I doubt it.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I asked the seller why it was so cheap - reply was personal reasons.
It did make me wonder if they were the actual owners.
juitz:
I asked when the bike had been restored - 20yrs in dry storage or not, I would change every seal, rubber and bearing.
I also asked for a few up close pics of the exhaust and engine. Nada.
As stated here, too good to be true and iffy. Im moving on.
