Ebay is paradise compared to gumtree.

Never had a positive experience buying or selling through it.
The Internet - It has proven to be worthless, and is nothing but a repository for perverts.

I sold my MX bike through ebay the ebay charges would have been £6 -700 if memorie serves so my asking price reflected that and no one was interested except one guy who suggested going outside of ebay.

I got my money he got his bike no ebay fees and every one was happy! i did the same with a set of rugby final tickets.

So when i wanted to buy my touring i called the sellor proposed a deal out of ebay and happy days i got my touring at a good price!

P.S. Verd
Again Many apologies i should have done my research on welding the wheel before paying deposit i was fully expecting you to keep the deposit You are a gent for the refund! Did you manage to sell them?

No no not at all phil, this wasnt aimed at you and I should have made that clear, I do appologise, dont mean to come over as a dick. That was just one instance, fair enough you maybe coulda researched a little better but its not your fault and if you wernt gunna be able to use em, I wouldnt want you taking em. It was the fact a couple other people did that that day aswell but for no good reason...just stopped contacting me. Some with car bits and some with bike parts. Ended up reasonably far up shit creek haha.
