Most sites trying to sell 'everything' are very noisy in this way. ie- if I am only looking for Ducati parts then Harley ads/sales etc are pure noise and get in the way.

I don't know where you plan to get revenue from but it would have to play nice with ads or whatever your revenue model is.

Oh and 'pizzaz' was mentioned earlier...images! Feature a cool bike of the week or bike features. We are visual creatures and like eye candy....which could help drive traffic to you and generate more business.

...but what do I know I am just another guy chomping peanuts in the gallery.

Best of luck!
Bryan, there is a feature on the site that does just that. If you're logged in, go to My Account. You'll see a feature called "my listing filters". It will email you when something with your criteria has been added to the site.

We're torn between simplicity and eye candy. I'm sure we'll find a balance eventually

Ad revenue will happen in the future, with luck.

Kim, scooters are within the Street Motorcycles section. We won't be offering new parts, but someone may offer a used Aprilia scooter battery at some point

When looking for a bike for my son the one thing I noticed missing in the listing is a HP rating. This is the Australian Bike Sales website;

Used Motorcycle For Sale - Buy and Sell Motorcycles Australia - bikesales.com.au

Send a message via Yahoo to 12own911
Question: Why is it that when I try to send an email about the product to someone else, if I make an error in the security part it removes my Name and Email address?

Also, is this correct?

Features:

Lexan polycarbonate shell in one size

    We are live as of yesterday! Thanks all for your very helpful and insightful suggestions

    12own911: I think we've handled both of those issues.
