Hmmm, the more stuff I buy off ebay, the more I am getting pee'd off with it too, I am starting to think it's better just to pay the money and get better stuff.

Wrong parts sent, parts not as described or different to the photos used, cheap parts that don't work or break after 5 minutes, parts that don't fit, 4 weeks for delivery when it says 2 days, fake SD cards from a seller with 100% feedback who then disappears, then getting refunds & replacements can be hellish, and ebay themselves are useless at helping in my experience.

I've got to do a 70 mile round trip to Leicester today to collect parts from a Parcelforce depot if I want to get them at all this week, because they've screwed up the delivery.

Support your local motorcycle dealers, at least then you take the product back in, stick it on the counter, and have someone to eyeball if it's not right.
