This
sale is for a
PAIR of VW Poptop Strap Spool Restraints.
Please look very closely at the photos as they form an
inseparable part of the description. If you have any questions, please contact
me.
This is one of many items/accessories I am selling, following
the sale of our VW Campervan. All items are less than four years old and have
seen very little use.
These were made by a fellow VeeDubber for use in tidying up the
two poptop straps when the roof is down.
Simply thread the end of the strap into the spool slot and wind
it up like a cotton reel. The strap is then secured with the elastic
restraining strap (spares can be bought almost anywhere, they’re also sold as
elastic hair bands).
Each spool is green and black (the green shade does look bluish
in some photos but they are definitely green and were bought because our van
was green) and produced on a 3D Printer.
Dimensions are (approximately) 35mm diameter and 40mm end to
end.
They certainly smarten up your straps when travelling and have
attracted a lot of attention from fellow campervan owners.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask & I will
do my best to answer.
Happy bidding!
Some small print that needs to
be read.
This
year, I have been de-cluttering my house and selling unwanted stuff on eBay, at
car-boot sales and through private sales with friends & colleagues.
For some
strange reason, this year has also attracted that most unwelcome of eBay buyers
– those who seem to think that eBay is a free service or a joke.
It is
not.
Bidding
is meant to be fun, but remember that each bid you place enters you into a
binding contract. All bids are active until the listing ends. If you win a
listing, you’re obligated to purchase the item and make the payment in a
reasonable time (usually up to 48 hours).
I try to
make my descriptions as perfect as possible.
If there
is a known fault, I state it.
If there
is known damage, I state it.
If there
is a part or parts missing, I state it.
I take as
many photos of the item as I can (blatant lie. I get my husband to take as many
photos as he can) so that you can see the item from many levels and views.
These photos also serve as part of the description, so view them carefully. If
you need more images, contact me and I will endeavour to send you more than the
12 free images that eBay allows.
Your
options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why
you want to return it, and my return policy.
If the
item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it.
If you've
changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a
return, but I don’t have to accept it (eBay T&Cs).
I have
also had problems with the dispatch costs.
Before I
sell anything on eBay, I make sure I have something the wrap it in so that it
can be dispatched.
The cost
of my P&P is, therefore, a pretty good reflection of the cost of the
packing media (be it a box, an envelope or even a plastic bag), the cost of the
shock absorbing media to protect your goods during the journey from my home to
yours (I love bubble-wrap but stick with me here, it doesn’t grow on trees and
I have to buy it before I can use it), the cost of the paper I wrap your parcel
in and, finally (using the Royal Mail website to calculate the postage costs)
the cost of the stamp/service (usually, 2nd Class/signed for).
So, when
you see my P&P cost at £5.00 but spot a stamp for £3.50 only, don’t shout
at me or complain to eBay that I’m trying to rip you off, look at the way it
was wrapped, look at the cost to myself in terms of my time spent securely and
safely wrapping your item, the cost for me to travel to town to post it (some
of us live well away from major post offices, you know) and then consider the
justification for that £1.50 extra.
Finally,
my postage will require a signature; I have been ripped off too many times by
claims of undelivered goods.
Rant
over.
One final
thing and this needs large red print…
PLEASE NOTE:
I do NOT sell outside the UK. If
you are from outside the UK please do NOT bid on this item
