FAQ

Everything you need to know about MotoStaq.

Buying

Use the Year/Make/Model dropdowns on the Browse page to filter parts that fit your exact bike. You can also search by keyword, category, or condition.
All payments go through Stripe — the same system used by Amazon and Shopify. Your money is held securely until delivery is confirmed via tracking. No PayPal Friends & Family, no Venmo, no sketchy transfers.
Buyers pay a small transaction fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per order — this covers secure payment processing through Stripe. It's added at checkout. No hidden charges beyond that.
Message the seller first to try to resolve it. If that doesn't work, open a dispute and MotoStaq will review it. If the item was misrepresented, you get a full refund.
If the item doesn't match the listing description, absolutely — open a dispute for a refund. For buyer's remorse (you changed your mind), returns are at the seller's discretion.
Sellers choose their shipping method: free shipping, flat rate, or local pickup only. Tracking is required for all shipped orders — your payment isn't released to the seller until delivery is confirmed.

Selling

Click Sell in the nav, fill out the form with photos, description, Year/Make/Model fitment info, and your price. It's free to list — you only pay when it sells.

Connect your Stripe account in your Seller Dashboard under Payouts. Once delivery is confirmed, there's a 48-hour inspection window. If the buyer doesn't open a dispute, funds are automatically released to your Stripe account. Stripe then transfers to your bank on their standard schedule (typically 2-7 business days).
