@ thanks for the reply man I just started selling, I work in a body shop. Yeah way too high, I shipped usps and used the original box Honda shipped it in, it was definitely a big box. I did a Google and see that we have an ups location located within a local store, I’ll have to get quotes next time.

How does it work when you have freight on your listing? When they buy, do you have to then figure out who to use and get a quote? Does ebay give you a list of vendors to pick? How do you charge them for the freight after they already purchased the item. Ive been looking for information in a lot of plac3s but nobody really talks about the entire process, not even ebays FaQs answer any of that. And i heard you say you were going to make a video about it, but couldnt locate them
@streetriderscustoms
@streetriderscustoms 13 күн бұрын
What I do is find the company first, put in my package dimensions, and that way I can get a good idea about the shipping costs. I then put freight shipping on the listing with the price. I always list to contact me about the shipping price before hand to get an exact quote.
@spankymagee
@spankymagee 13 күн бұрын
@@streetriderscustoms thanks for that info. So how do you charge them even when you do know the price? Update the total of the listing price for them before they purchase, or ebay has has a spot for you to put the freight costs before they pay? It seems way more confusing than necessary.

The window fell out of the regulator and the tracks. With these Volvos its usually the clip that holds the window to the regulator that is broken. If you bring the window all the way up and then slide it down into the regulator you should be able to put a new clip in

Your throttle response should be better.?.? From my understanding the old valve cover baffle design allowed oil to pool, making for a oil broiler, steamer condition. It would delute oil quality prematurely along with other issues.

The throttle response in this has always been good, but this helped tremendously with burning oil
@JRS2791
@JRS2791 2 ай бұрын
@streetriderscustoms I will clarify. It might improve throttle/acceleration performance. The oil burning valve cover design creates cavitation in the pcv/crankcase windage flow, which leads to random moments of engine backpressure. Backpressure on the piston rings, makes for some high mpg chugging slugging.
