The amount of unrelated junk that comes up in a search is why I stopped shopping for car parts on ebay years ago. Nobody's got time to dig through all that garbage.
I sold motorcycle & auto parts for years on ebay. Here in the U.S.A and overseas. thank you for reminding me of the green tags for tracking USPS. Ebay became FEEBay. Now it's Craigslist or Marketplace and No shipping. It takes longer to sell something but it's pretty much FEE free.
I know this doesn’t help this too much, but look into pirate ship (one word). I ship heads and parts from time to time and it’s about 55% less than UPS and way cheaper than USPS or FedEx.
Been on ebay since 1999, when I was 14 and they did no ID checks or anything. Paid with a money order, so I had to walk down the street to the drug store to get one and then mail it in. I used to sell on here until about 10 years ago, the fees and riff raff buyers that try to scam started getting out of hand so Craigslist or FB Marketplace only now.
I gave up on Ebay Motors a while ago when I purchased a part with a 1 year warranty advertised in the listing. It stopped working after 3 months. I sent several messages in 6 months to the seller, through Ebay, asking how to make a warranty claim. Never got a response!!! All done!!!
I only sell larger money items such as cars or motorcycles. The biggest problem I have is buyers that don’t follow up. eBay does nothing about them unless you put up a big stink. It’s about 50/50 on a successful transaction. Yes eBay sucks , but, for me at least it’s the flakey buyers who didn’t get their wives permission before bidding who are ruining it.

I'll search for something specific and I will get 100,000 results for led bulbs.

Yep, this is typical. So much stuff comes from overseas as well as international sellers jam the market.
@@HotRodReverend It was a US seller!
