SELLER GUIDELINES

CLEAR PHOTOS

• Multiple angles (front, back, sides, close-up of any damage)
• Good lighting — natural light is best
• Clean background so the part is the focus
• If fitment matters (like fairings), show how it sits on the bike
• At least 3 photos minimum. More photos = more trust

CONDITION DESCRIPTION

• New — Never installed or used. In original packaging if applicable.
• Like New — Minimal wear. Almost indistinguishable from new.
• Good — Some wear, scratches, or minor marks. Fully functional and safe.
• Fair — Visible wear, scuffs, or small damage. Still works as intended.

Be honest about condition. Buyers check photos and will dispute if condition is misrepresented.

FITMENT INFORMATION

• List the year, make, and model it fits (e.g., 2019 Yamaha YZF-R1)
• Include OEM part number if you know it
• If it fits multiple bikes, list them or say "fits models 2018-2020"
• If fitment is uncertain, say so explicitly
• Never list "Universal" unless it truly fits any bike

DAMAGE DISCLOSURE

• List all known damage, cracks, dents, or missing parts
• Describe how bad it is (cosmetic vs. functional)
• Take close-up photos of damage
• If damage is major, lower the price accordingly
• Never hide damage — it shows in disputes and kills your seller rating

FAIR PRICING

• Check similar parts on eBay, CycleTrader, and other marketplaces
• Factor in condition, age, and rarity
• Price OEM parts lower than new (they're used, after all)
• Price rarity and scarcity higher if the part is hard to find
• Don't overprice — buyers will report or move on

SHIPPING WEIGHT & BOX SIZE

• Estimate shipping weight and box size realistically
• Overestimating weight hurts your listing (shipping shows too high)
• Underestimating creates surprises when the buyer gets charged more
• Weigh and measure before listing if possible

SHIP PROMPTLY

• Ship within 2 business days of the sale
• Use a tracked shipping method
• Pack the part safely to avoid damage in transit
• Upload tracking immediately so buyers see proof it's shipping

COMMUNICATION

• Respond to buyer messages quickly (within hours if possible)
• Answer fitment questions honestly
• Send tracking info as soon as you ship
• If there's a problem, communicate early

WHAT BUILDS REPUTATION

• Accurate descriptions and photos
• Prompt shipping
• Good communication
• No disputes or very few
• Satisfied buyers = repeat business and positive feedback
