I think in the last year or so eBay has become steadily more like modern Amazon: filled to the brim with pro sellers in China instead of normal people and small local businesses. It’s cheaper than Amazon so it has its pros, but it’s a damn shame.
Pro tip: there's an option in each search to set the seller type to "Private". Filters out all the Chinese crap leaving the second-hand local good stuff.
I pretty much gave up looking at motorbikes on eBay because there was just page upon page of pre-reg and demonstrator Harleys, Ducatis and Triumphs from the local dealers with the odd genuine ‘used’ bike amongst them.
