Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I've just ordered a tank protector from Portugal via ebay. it was on offer so I thought I would give it a go to see what happens.

Postage has been listed at £5.00. The goods were listed at £22.80. The total price paid was £33.36. Estimated date for arrival 24 Feb. Originally it said it could be with me by this Saturday, so I presume that the expected delivery date changed once it clocked I'm in the UK.

I have noticed since the start of this year that there's more offers being made by sellers of products. I never used to get it before, I've had 3 so far this year on watched items.

I don't want this to be a political thread, there's a Brexit thread for that. I just want to post my experiences of ordering stuff from the EU, using eBay, the costs and the time scales. I thought it would be useful to share experiences, hints and tips.

I have never spent so much on Ebay since lockdown ,I have also had many watched items being offered at reduced prices

I rarely buy from eBay but certain items I'm ordering for work are seeing double or triple the lead times currently.

The world is running out of cardboard due to increased online sales ,I have orders for machines held up due to shortage in cardboard

It's marked as posted.

Due date any time between 15 and 24 February

It arrived today. 8 days. No other charges. Not too bad.

Bollocks!!!

I've heard some sellers of wind deflectors won't even send it to the UK

Those delivery charges
