The purchase of... not looking for recommendations on what to buy, just how you went about it.
Found the US ebay store, which weirdly won't display any items if I use ebay.co.uk, but will on .com.
The an additional $10 difference in price (a couple of quid I know) direct over the ebay total, is there any reason not to use their ebay store?
Noticed a poster mentioning he got away without any customs charges, which was interesting but is that an exception, rather than a rule?
I have just purchased a pair of 38mm wide from their eBay store. About two months ago I bought a 27/30mm combo. Very happy with them. Be aware that it's Chinese new year, so I'm not expecting delivery of the 38mm till mid March.
Same here, march 08th for dispatch.... Booo. Use ebay to avoid the PayPal fee they charge when going direct!.
Thats my though Gee76.. just wondered about any down sides to using ebay
As a buyer, I don't think there are any downsides. You'll be protected by ebay/paypal.
As a seller, there are quiet a few drawbacks.
I'd agree. Ordered both ways tbh tho and lb have been pretty good.
Only problem is the holiday wind down started this week (according to Carolina) so production not really a goer until march.
cheers, annoying that I've managed to pick the wrong time but hey ho I'm sure they'll be worth it.
according to Carolina
You should have dealt with Kartrin 😉

as mentioned, I can only see there items for sale on ebay.com, nothing appears on ebay.co.uk (even from a "saved seller")
Aye I clashed with Chinese New Year last year too, tried not to this year and when I googled I thought CNY was on the 28th and not the 2 weeks before as well. Ah well, didn't really put me off though. I've had 8 rims from them to date.
For Tape I went with this... 66m for about £10......
