SELLER GUIDELINES

Create listings that sell. Build trust. Get repeat buyers.

Before you list: Verify your email address first, you won't be able to publish listings until your account is verified. After your first sale, funds are released to your Stripe account once the buyer confirms delivery (48-hour inspection window). Stripe bank transfers typically take 2 to 7 business days.

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
