The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Thumbs down e.bay beware

Hi just a word of warning for those of you who are putting parts on e.bay to auction, make sure of the person you are dealing with, ive just had a guy bid and win on two items but he discided he did not like the cost of the postage he cancelled his bid and gave me two negative feedbacks, and as a seller i could not even give him a negative feedback, e.bay policy .
I got in contact with e.bay and they told me there was nothing they could.
So if you ever come across this guy (a4zoom) take care he's a fraud. Skip

Open up an unpaid item case on both items. He will get 2 strikes against him, not much but its a little revenge and 1 more and Ebay will ban him.

Why not leave nutral feedback and say something in the comments box ?

You can also reply to his negative comments.


It's real issue when you work hard to get and keep 100% feedback for someone to hold you to ransom - Ebay need to address this.

I'd put two unpaid marks against him too.

I suppose it depends on if the postage quoted was reasonable, not just cost but the service you chose.

I object to having to pay First Class Recorded for an item of small value I am not in a hurry to get.

I also find some sellers look to postage for a huge profit. Sure they state what they want for sending it, but I have recently been charged £7.99 for a pre-used Jiffy bag and stamps under £1.

Where possible I 'recycle' packaging from things I have bought, and only charge actual post cost. I dont charge for a healthy walk to the Post Office and I list the package weight so they can check it out - and choose a different speed of service if they wish.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
