I'm confused

Which bolt are they talking about?

Beware, even if you know which bolt they are talking about (and really want it) there is a $10.00 packaging charge and an unspecified shipping charge. This used, rusty bolt could cost you $15 or more.

Don't ya' jsut love Ebay?

$10 shipping for a bolt? The mystery bolt must come off of a mystery set of carbs and manifolds. Maybe it's the bolt that fits the stock clamps. That might cost .25 at a bolt shop or hardware store.

This assclown has had that p.o.s. bike listing up for months now. Basically what he is doing is using ebay for relatively free (listing fee for a $0.99 auction) advertising medium, then when somebody sends him a message looking for a part off the bike, he'll sell it to them under the table for an agreed upon price and dodge the listing fees.

I'm surprised he's gotten away with it for as long as he has. As far as I'm concerned, he's a thief.

I've seen similar done here in UK. Buyer and seller agree price then at an agreed time seller puts it on under "buy it now", and buyer grabs it.
Seller gets a definite sale, Buyer gets his part, Ebay get their fees.
Maybe not entirely "ethical" but Ebay aren't going to stop something they're still making ££ on.
