So I'm looking for a new tail fairing

ebay hits return this seller.



His description
USED REAR FAIRING AND TAILLIGHT. IN GREAT CONDITION. NO PROBLEMS, NO DAMAGE, INCLUDES TAIL LIGHT. THIS PART IS FROM A 2002 HONDA VTR1000 SUPERHAWK

Now I could be wrong, but look at the upper right part of the pic....Toward the inside,,, Is that a hunk missing?

In your description it states in part USED REAR FAIRING AND TAILLIGHT. IN GREAT CONDITION. NO PROBLEMS, NO DAMAGE,

but in the picture you uploaded http://i18.ebayimg.com/04/i/001/2b/7f/4757_1.JPG

inside, left by the taillight it looks like a hunk of the fairing is missing. Could be the angle or lighting, but it appears to be damaged. Please confirm no damage and if it is not, could you provide a picture that shows that.
Thanks.

I hate Ebay with a passion. You can't bid on anything, cause you always lose, so you have to buy "buy it now" stuff. Then the quality of the product is always in question, and its up to the seller to make good on something you have taken receipt of, and he could be a total goof, or running off to sell his next assortment of stolen goods, and will ignore you if you have a problem.

I've been burned on ebay a couple times. Now they only take Paypal which I also hate, so I just try to avoid the circus altogether.

So many idiots on ebay, and I'm sure that's why he has a short fuse. I've been dealing with morons on craigslist all month that can't/don't read the ad. But still, if he had at least a shred of patience he'd sell more and probably have lower blood pressure.

What a tool. Doesn't mean he's not a legit seller, but I'd hate to be on the wrong end of a transaction with him! His loss.
