Killerkawasaki

Ordered some polished alloy levers for my SV, he sent chrome. I asked him to refund me and was told I'd have to pay ?3-90 to return them to USA (He claimed in the ebay listing he was in Edinburgh, apparently all his items are shipped from the US), then said he wouldn't refund my original ?3-90 P+P charges either. So, if I sent them back I'd be ?7-80 out of pocket and have no levers - all this for a ?10 item. I decided to keep them as spares, just in case. Took them out to the garage for a trial fit and the clutch lever doesn't fit properly, the thickness of the chrome makes it too tight - out with the Dremel then.

When I buy something on ebay I always try to buy in UK or at furthest the EU because I don't like waiting long for stuff to arrive and returns can be handled quickly. These levers took 8 days to get to me. Wish I'd known they were coming from California not Edinburgh.

I gave him negative feedback and he retaliated by giving the same back, totally unfair and unjustified. Complained about this to ebay and waiting to hear back, but I doubt they'll do anything.
