DISCLAIMERS, PAYMENT, SHIPPING INFO. THIS APPLIES TO ALL PURCHASES.
ALL BUYERS MUST READ AND AGREE – NO WHINERS

DO NOT BUY MY ITEM IF:

1.      You do not agree with the shipping fee. (Check this before you buy. Shipping fee is listed.)

2.      You are not sure if this item will fit. (Check with your dealer to make sure - before you buy)

3.      You can't really tell if the item is in the condition you would hope for it to be in. (Ask me - before you buy - if you have any doubt that the item is in the condition you think it's in.) I describe everything the best I can but some buyers have given me negative / neutral / low DSR feedback because they assumed or hoped the item would be in better condition than they saw on the ad.

4.      You are new to using eBay , Email , PayPal.

5.      You do not have a confirmed / verified PayPal shipping address.

6.      You do not have a regular / standard mailing / shipping address or can even receive mail at said address.

7.      You recently moved and you have not changed your PayPal / eBay shipping address.

8.      You never leave positive feedback and a rating of 5 on all Detailed Seller Rating - DSR's. (meaning you are probably hard to please)

9.      You never respond to eBay email. Or your eBay email always seems to go into your SPAM box or disappears altogether.

10. You need something shipped immediately without contacting me first. Do not assume that all items will be shipped immediately. Contact me first if you need something shipped by a deadline.

***A “5” DSR (DETAILED SELLER RATING) IS WHAT WE STRIVE FOR***

WHY DO I LIST THE ABOVE ISSUES? BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST COMMON ISSUES THAT EITHER CAUSE ME TO GET ANYTHING LESS THAT A RATING OF 5 ON MY DSR OR NEUTRAL OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. I AM NOT PERFECT THOUGH. REMEMBER THAT.

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE MY SHIPPING AND HANDLING COST, DON'T BUY MY ITEM.  SELLING ON EBAY COSTS A LITTLE STORE LIKE MINE ABOUT $1,000 PER MONTH (NO KIDDING). EBAY AND PAYPAL AND SHIPPING SUPPLY COSTS TAKE UP AT LEAST 15% OF MY TOTAL COST.  AND THE MARKUP ON THIS ITEM IS NOT LIKE BUYING A WASHER/DRYER, SOFA, OR A DIAMOND RING WHERE YOU CAN GET 50% - 75% OFF.  THERE'S NO SUCH MARKUP IN MOTORCYCLE PARTS AND DVD'S.  I'M NOT SOME BIG-TIME RETAILER.  I'M JUST A SMALL OPERATION. SHIPPING ITEMS COSTS A BUNCH. USPS SHIPPING FEES ALONE ARE HIGHER THAN THEY USED TO BE. (REMEMBER WHEN YOU COULD BUY A POSTAGE STAMP FOR 28 CENTS? IT'S 32% HIGHER THAN THAT NOW) AND USPS COST IS NOT ALWAYS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SIZE OF THE ITEM, BUT ALSO THE DISTANCE THE ITEM IS BEING SHIPPED AS WELL AS HOW MUCH THE ITEM WEIGHS.  SO THE ITEM MIGHT BE INEXPENSIVE, BUT LARGE OR HEAVY - MEANING HIGHER SHIPPING FEE.

POSTING A MORE EXPENSIVE ITEM ON EBAY COSTS ME A BUNCH IN EBAY FEES. IF I AM TO OFFER YOU AN ITEM AT A DECENT PRICE, SHIPPING AND HANDLING CANNOT BE FREE AND CANNOT BE TOTALLY COMBINED AND CANNOT BE MERELY AT ZERO COST. I WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS IN ABOUT 30 DAYS IF THERE WERE NO HANDLING FEE.  YOU AS A BUYER MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH THAT BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT IS WITH ANY STORE ON EBAY (IF THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND A WHILE AND KNOW HOW IT GOES.)

IF YOU NOTICE, ON OTHER EBAY STORES, EXCESSIVELY HIGH SHIPPING & HANDLING FEE ON EVEN THE SMALLEST OF ITEMS.  I DO NOT GO OVERBOARD LIKE THEY DO.  THAT BEING SAID, IF YOU DO NOT LIKE OR AGREE WITH THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE OF ANY ITEM I AM SELLING, JUST DON'T BUY THE ITEM. THERE ARE PROBABLY 100 MORE ITEMS - JUST LIKE IT - RIGHT HERE ON EBAY. SO, IF YOU STILL BUY MY ITEM - AFTER YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW MUCH SHIPPING IS GOING TO BE - YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO GIVE ME ANY RATING OTHER THAN A 5 ON MY DSR BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNEW THE SHIPPING FEE IN ADVANCE. ALL OF MY ITEMS HAVE THE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEE LISTED.

THE POINT OF ALL OF THIS:  EBAY IS CRACKING DOWN ON SELLERS WHO DO NOT PERFORM WELL AND SELLERS WHO GET LOW DSR RATINGS SO I AM GOING TO TRY MY HARDEST TO ELIMINATE ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT CAUSE ME TO GET ANYTHING BELOW A 5 DSR AND A POSITIVE FEEDBACK RATING.

I AM AN HONEST SELLER. I AM NOT PERFECT, THOUGH. THINGS HAPPEN.

THE ABOVE MIGHT SOUND HARSH, BITTER, COLD TO MANY BUYERS.  I'M SORRY, BUT, MANY BUYERS HAVE DONE THE ABOVE ISSUES AND SAID ISSUES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD THEY JUST NOT BOUGHT MY ITEM. I WOULD RATHER LOSE THE SALE THAN GET LOW DSR'S OR NEUTRAL / NEGATIVE FEEDBACK. AMAZING, MAYBE, BUT TRUE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WAS PUT ON A 30-DAY EBAY "RESTRICTION" BECAUSE OF THOSE ISSUES (THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED) AND I WAS LIMITED ON HOW MUCH I COULD SELL.  BELIEVE IT OR NOT, EBAY DOES HAVE THAT KIND OF POWER.

ALSO, I HATE TO BE A HARD-CASE BUT I DO NOT TOLERATE DEADBEAT BIDDERS.  IF YOU BID ON THIS ITEM, EXPECT TO WIN IT, PAY FOR IT, POST FEEDBACK AFTERWARDS. I DON'T ACCEPT THE "ACCIDENTAL BID", FORGOT-ABOUT-IT-BID, LOST-THE-MONEY-BID, ANYTHING OTHER THAN A COMPLETED TRANSACTION IS ALL I WILL TOLERATE.  IF YOU HIT BUY NOW, BID NOW, WHATEVER NOW ON MY ITEM, PLAN ON COMPLETING THE SALE.  I GIVE BUYERS ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE, SEND THE MONEY ORDER, COMMUNICATE WITH ME AND ALL THAT.  IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE EBAY, PAYPAL, EMAIL, ETC. ETC, DO NOT BUY MY ITEM.  PRACTICE ON SOME OTHER STORE'S ITEMS FIRST.  SORRY TO SOUND HARSH BUT I HAVE HAD TOO MANY NEW BUYERS WHO JUST DON'T SEEM TO KNOW HOW EBAY / PAYPAL WORKS GIVE ME EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK WHY THEY CAN'T COMPLETE THE SALE.  ASK A FRIEND, IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS.  I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAPPEN BUT IT COSTS A HECK OF ALOT OF MONEY TO HAVE A STORE ON EBAY (OVER $1,000 A MONTH - BELIEVE IT OR NOT). AND MY STORE IS NOT EVEN THAT BIG.  IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION, I JUST LOST MONEY.  I HOPE YOU CAN ALL UNDERSTAND THAT.  THANKS FOR YOUR COOPERERATION.

PAYMENT & FEEDBACK: If you do not plan to complete the purchase process and pay for this item (preferably using the amazing PayPal), including posting appropriate feedback after the sale, PLEASE do not waste everyone's time and money. It costs money to place ads on Ebay (weather the item sells or not) so if you claim that you are going to buy this item and you back out on it, you just wasted my time and money.  It is a direct violation of Ebay policy to fail to complete the purchase once you have commited to buy. We do not tolerate deadbeat bidders! We prefer PayPal customers who have confirmed shipping address.  We have had several packages go "missing" because of unconfirmed addresses.

SHIPPING: We typically ship, depending on the size of the item, via USPS (Postal Service) First Class Mail (for small items), and Priority Mail for larger items or multiple items that weigh more than 13 ounces.  USPS picks up for free, ships for free on Saturday, is very dependable, pretty doggone quick, not very expensive compared to UPS or FEDEX. HOWEVER, it does not offer live tracking of your package. It is extremely reliable though. So, make sure your shipping address is verified on PayPal so no packages somehow end up stuck at your post office. That has happened before. UPS actually charges me $4.00 just to come pick up your package - because I do not have a daily UPS pickup. And UPS is SOOOOO SLOW shipping long distance.

COMBINED SHIPPING: See my other listings for many more motorcycle items. We discount shipping costs (on some items) if you purchase several items within 3 days. DISCOUNT mind you. The Shipping Calculator will automatically discount the shipping rate for you when you purchase. We cannot afford to completely combine all items and then just charge you only for one item's shipping, handling, Ebay fee, PayPal fee, blah blah blah and lose money on the costs involved with selling the other items you might buy from us in the same purchase.  You can thank Ebay because of their insanely high fees for this. We do discount the shipping though. The automatted shipping calculator with handle that for you.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: We gladly ship overseas and international as long as the item is not too large. Most small items (DVD's, Shirts, Small clothing, Small tools, etc.) will ship via USPS International Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope. Other regular sized items will ship USPS International Priority Mail. Other large items can only be shipped to Canada via UPS Standard To Canada.

MORE SHIPPING INFO: We try to box and package your item the best we can for the safety of your item. It is very rare that an item gets damaged in shipping from us.  It can happen though. If your item arrives in a damaged box, please keep the box, photograph it AND the damaged item and contact us immediately.

If your item arrived in a specific manufacturer's box for the item, please keep that box until you have used the item to verify it is working properly.  If, for some reason, the item does not work and you need to return it to us (very rare), we will need the original manufacturer's box in order to return the item to the manufacturer for exchange. It's no different than if you tried to return something to WalMart and you did not have the original box/packaging,  WalMart would probably not accept your exchange/return. Keep all original packaging until you have used the item.
