anybody asked the seller a question?

This is all very motivating, not!

I have bought a few items already. But, never sold. Only have a "7" next to my name.

To be honest, I'd be weary of a new eBay user (with no feedback) from overseas sellings loads of expensive road frames.

Shall I build up a rep first? Say sell a few stems or skewers to get some points? The question then becomes: how many? Or the corollary: is 10 enough for example?

I *Seems popular on higher price item to request bidders have a minimum feedback rating.*

Never knew that you could specify that. Thats valuable, thanks

Yes it can be overdrawn if there's a reversed charge. What's worse, they'll try to charge your current account repeatedly (incurring bank charges) through DD if you established one previously to finance the eBay fees.

These are the dangers that I have made myself aware of and don't like to read.

The only solution I can see, is for you to sell your lovely italian frames to us on the cheap. Cuz you can trust us, cant you.
See, look, a smilie :)

I'm under the impression most members are looking for track frames. Get this idea when I rifle through your bike porn threads. Well, these aren't track frames

@jaw: yup its one of them

@BRM: bitching could be part of the process. I use it, successfully.

only send items using a service that can track it to the person front door.

*remember its a buyers market in that people can complain about the slightest thing and use feedback a leverage tool and they know it.*

setting up and closing paypal accounts is not the way forward and you will find problematic as the new account will have to be verified each time.

shipping to your sister will be fine but not every buyer is going to want to collect from your sister where ever she lives.

enormously concerning..and a basis for a buyer to do reversals.

Put an ad on here first and see how it goes. At least you don't pay the listing fee and you still have the PayPal protection.
The only advice would be to wait for the payment to clear (ie. is transfered from PayPal to your account) before you post. If the payment is made with the credit card (and not with a debit card) the buyer can always use the chargeback facility if they're dodgy under the excuse, that the item wasn't as described or they haven't received it.

Thats the part I dont get. Paypal protection as i understand it, is for buyers only.

The EC90 fork, and a new wheelset are burning my arse

Hi,
I've been reading some aweful things about selling goods on ebay. It sounds like sellers face a lot of risk; and there are a few stories of great loss. The compulsary regulations regarding paypal seem very problematic. Is it really just greatly exaggerated?
Up to now I have been purchasing quite nicely. I have only ever received decals because they can be posted in an envelope. Other items purchased, whether purchased on ebay, or my first item purchased here (an alter) are sent to my sister in Ealing. She'll bring it, when she visits soon, or I may ask some friend going on a trip, if its possible. I've somehow managed to accrue parts in the US, Germany and Austria. All in all, buying, doesn't seem problematic and paying with paypal is truthfully very simple.

Obviously, here at home, in my corner of South Africa, I've managed to amass a considerable collection. Introspection output = TOO much! Considering that I'm 6'7", some of the beautiful frames I have, are of no use to me. They have served only to satiate my want for a collection of beautiful Italian steel frames. Now, however, I labour for space and want to sell them. Although a feeble rationale, I also need to prove to the missus, that, I don't "have a problem" and "need to talk to somebody about it".
At the moment I've earmarked 5 frames and framesets.
Yes, I have tried to sell them locally. I follow similar frames on e-bay and hence am aware of values achieved. I haven't expected to duplicate that because its just a different market. But, regrettably I am unable to achieve a fraction of that locally. They are not as 'in demand' as modern frames and I am honestly not prepared to let something so precious go for nothing. Like every other cyclist, I'm already eyeing that beautiful wheelset or other latest and greatest, so I may as well make a decent sale.

So, I started to invetigate the requirements for sellers on e-bay. One week later, my head is still reeling. All the homework is done regarding logistic options and costs to various key Cities in the world. I also looked at the costs from ebay and paypal. Now, it alls come down to: Payment method and risk. This is the matter leaving me hesitant to take the first step.
Is it that risky?? Does it only have to happen once that your transaction is reversed?
Do I engage in 5 seperate transactions, 5 seperate efforts and 5 seperate risks?
Do I ship to my sister and insist on collection only?.. Which limits me to buyers in London only?
Are there any inside tips and tricks? Do I open an account to receive a paypal payment, clear it, withdraw the funds and close the account to ensure that it cannot be reversed? Do I do this for each transaction? Will this be difficult with first time seller rules?
pfff..I'm I supposed to adopt an attitude that this is like gambling and that if you loose you loose, and that you accept that even before you place the bet? I'm not prepared to take that chance to be honest. Does that mean that: ebay selling is not for me?

As a completely separate question: are there huge duties and clearance fees that will have to be paid when these frames reach British shores?

I'd really appreciate your help here. Please dont torch me, I just would like to dabble in this and if I can extract a good value through this, then that would be great.

How did you get the headtube to angle that sharply?

2wks old and already up for sale? Why did you build it?

FOUND* FOUND****** FOUND***
sought: 1" alter in any colour and would prefer 110-120mm. please assist.

I must confess that I have up to now been calling it a ZuNini. No wonder I have not found anything on google. Thanks for clearing that up.
I may add that there is the Italian wording: "Exclusivemente fati a mano" on the decal. and the edition for lack of a better term is the "airstream" on the decal of the top tube and is also embossed on the top of the BB LHS

bucket all

Veterans shrug their shoulders when I ask about this frame; and Google yields no results.
Please share any information that you may have about this frame or pics of others like it.
I can tell you that it has oval Columbus AIR tubing and a set of Campy DT Shifters which I have also never seen anywhere else. The gear cables run through the frame.

If you can assist in posting the pics, please do.

I wonder if anybody could share some info regarding this frame called: CORRADO. Its made of Columbus tubing, but as you can see in the pic the Columbus decal so shredded that I cant discern which type of Columbus tubing. It also has a BB with an Italian thread. The BB is however quite ordinary with NO cut outs or brazed cable guides. No embossing on the stays or crown. Fork and chain stay chromed.
Has anybody come across one?
Does anybody know who made it?

The seat post looks really strange on top. Is the saddle post offset in a larger seat post tube?

Err sorry had it explained.. going squnint...optical illusion, I think

Whoever leans a bike like that against a wall should be...

How is that a Cinelli track frame? Cinelli lugs, fork crown, BB cluster maybe? The world's gone mad...

Whats a "BB cluster"??
