I sell and buy a lot on ebay and I have never had to wait to have full access to funds from buyers.

I only bring this up so someone that doesn't know any better doesn't assume they have a delay as a safety net.

I guess I don't use it enough to be trusted. Thanks for the clarification!

Think the moral to this story is "Buyer Beware" when buying on evil-bay. Hope you get this sorted out though.

I really don't get why broken latches would automatically mean stolen? Relax, it's all good bro...

Several legitimate reasons there could be no locks. I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

I got my bags off a buddy who went down a few years ago. Insurance replaced the bags when there was nothing more than scratches to them. He just swapped the hardware and I bought that separate. Sometimes the back story is as simple as that.

Maybe the missing locks was the reason they were being sold in the first place.

Didn't you know that the bags you were buying didn't come with locks? Maybe the seller got new bags for his bike that didn't have locks so he kept the ones from your bags. Maybe they were special locks and the seller wanted to keep them. Maybe the seller sold the locks separately for more cash. What makes you think they might be stolen bags?
