What ad Mike? Can't see anything.

edited are ebay charging ten per cent on postal cost ?

That tank belongs to a member. I sold some parts today on ebay, i will look into if they charge me for p&p. Never charged before, but never really looked.

would not put it past ebay they will try anything

Mike it is just an insertion fee of 10% . So if you sell an item for £90 + £10 p&p. You pay 10% on £100. It is better to offer free post and put the P&P charge in with the price of the item.

Tank is mine. I'm kind of hoping buyers will just look at total cost to them and bid accordingly, I bung a lot of stuff on there always 99p start and let em run, sometimes good stuff goes for a song, sometimes somethhing I was going to bin turns out valuable, last time I put a tank up it cleared £100 but a good cylinder head failed to even get a bid and wound up going for £10 at a car boot. The problem for me is if you go doing the free postage thing and raise the start price, then you get into paying a listing fee for something that doesn't sell, this way I can list for free - I don't mid ebay getting a cut of a sale, but hate paying to list stuff that ends up in the weigh in pile. Obviously the cb550 bits are not at risk to weigh in pile but as prices are so variable I prefer to list them and let the bidding decide value as any sohc bits I sell I may well end up replacing off ebay in the future.

In case anyone was thinking of bidding on the tank or shocks, I pulled the auction as I decided I'd rather not be swilling out stale fuel to post the tank whilst on cruches - I fell off my 250 on ice and fractured my foot, not fun to move around like that and some stuff is just proving too difficult to get at. Cheers
