Be careful of motorcycle_recycle on ebay

[SophR so good]

Just a public service announcement now that my refund has come through, that these guys are basically Del Boy.

Couple of weeks ago I bought this https://r.ebay.com/ofjzS4 for £135. One of the mounts is broken so you can't actually fit it to the bike without bodgery (and fuck paying £135 for something broken). So I sent it back, got a refund and now they've relisted it for more money. It's still broken, it's the exact same listing and they're still saying it's in perfect condition.

Well, you got a refund. I can't say I'm impressed that they've relisted the item without comment but maybe a genuine mistake? Seems a bit pointless for them to have done it deliberately as when the next buyer kicks off it will cost the seller more £££ and hassle to refund again?

With a feedback rating of 99.7% (not bad for a scrappie, where there's plenty of scope for scams and cockups) on their last 25,000 sales, I think I'd still be prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt

How long was it listed before you bought it?

If it was fairly quick sale they know they didn't charge enough. Plus they've already lost out on one set of postage. Can almost guarantee some mug will buy it and not complain.

Bought many things from them over the years.

No problems, either bad luck or bad buyer. Either way, don't deserve a neg for this. They refunded you, put it towards a ViperPal and be happy.

Interesting that they've updated it with correct info and a lower price since I posted this. Are we being watched?

With 25,000+ feedback, they will have more than one person working the ebay account

someone lower down the food chain probably just clicked "Relist", before bossman gave them a verbal clip round the ear and sorted it out

I've used them before and I found them to be generally OK...?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Most bits I get from breakers are semi-fooked in some way, I thought that was part of the 'fun'.

I'd have got the new ones for £30 more It has to be a substantial saving for me to use a breaker.
