HELPING
YOU GET STARTED
We want to make your experience with 2badmotorsports.com
an easy and enjoyable one by providing you with
all of the necessary tools and guidelines to help
make your sale be successful.
- Make sure that you prepare yourself with all
the necessary info about your vehicle including
the year/make/model and sale price of your vehicle.
Also, make sure to list all of the after market
parts, new parts, all services done to the vehicle,
and any buzz words such as "one owner. garage
kept. never dropped." etc to help attract
potential buyers. Remember though, please be as
brief as possible in your description, while using
correct spelling and full sentences when possible
to help the buyers quickly view your product.
In addition, be as honest to the best of your
knowledge.
- Having a registered e-mail address will ensure
a safe, quick and easy way of potential buyers
to contact you. You may also include your personal
number, but we recommend using an e-mail address
instead.
- To help sell your motor sport vehicle we allow
everyone of our customers the opportunity to post
up to 5 photos of your vehicle!!!!! Photos are
not necessary but will definitely help show off
your item; many buyers do not contact posts without
pictures. Make sure that your
photos meet these requirements:
-Image dimensions are 640x480 or smaller. Images
any larger may not appear on the site.
-File size should be under 100 KB, any larger
and the load time for a potential buyer may be
obnoxiously long and they may never see your item.
-File formats in JPEG format only(Johhny, please
include here what this means and why it should
be in that format along with reformatting and
naming convention instructions...all things I
do not have the knowledge enough to write about)
Once your photo meets these requirements, it is
time for you to post your photo ads. Please follow
these instructions when doing so. (Johnny, again,
I am unfamiliar with the style or program you
are using for pic uploading, so please give detailed
instructions on how to do so here.)
If you are prepared with your contact information,
detailed description of your vehicle with year/make/model
and price, and your photos meet all requirements
then you are ready to post!!!!!
Be completely confident when using your credit
card on this site, for we use(Johnny, place the
credit card service provider you guys use here)
and secure your information on the web. Have fun
and good luck!!!!! Fraud
Awareness
Because there is no foolproof way to prevent
fraud, awareness is the best defense. Please
review our tips below, and use your best judgment
in all transactions. As in all consumer transactions,
there is no substitute for a healthy skepticism
and your own good judgment. Remember, if a deal
seems too good to be true then it probably is.
Beware of overpayment or other complicated
payment schemes
Beware of an offer from any buyer who proposes
to send you a check for an amount greater than
the selling price and then have you wire the
balance back to the buyer or to the buyer's
agent. This is a scam. No one who proposes a
legitimate transaction will ask you to wire
excess funds anywhere. If you fall for an overpayment
scheme, the check you deposit will be counterfeit
and even though your bank may initially credit
your account, it will hold you responsible when
the bogus check fails to clear.
Always know who you are dealing with and understand
the offer.
The deal is made between the buyer and seller.
All action is between you and the seller. We
take no part in the transaction. Don't respond
to any email that appears to come from 2BadMotorsports.com
(for example, by displaying our logo) and urges
you to complete the sale or purchase of a motorcycle,
car, truck, ATV, dirt bike, watercraft, aircraft,
or snowcraft listed on our site. Such emails
are a sure sign of a scam. 2BadMotorsports.com
doesn't guarantee or endorse transactions, and
we don't have preferred or pre-approved buyers
or sellers. We'll never encourage you to buy
any particular motorcycle, car, truck, ATV,
dirt bike, watercraft, aircraft, or snowcraft
listed on 2BadMotorsports.com or to sell your
vehicle to any particular buyer. If you receive
a suspicious email such as the ones described
above, report it to us and to law enforcement.
Escrow.
An escrow service provides protection for both
buyer and seller so the seller shouldn’t
have a problem using this service. An escrow
service can hold your payment until you receive
the item you have purchased. For a fee, an escrow
service holds the buyer's payment until the
seller has delivered the item purchased. However,
scammers often set up fake escrow services.
They claim an affiliation with well-known companies
like 2BadMotorsports.com and Bad Ass Riderz
LLC to create a sense of security. Remember
these tips before you agree to use an escrow
service. If any escrow-related email or website
implies an affiliation with us by displaying
our logo or by other means, report it to us
and law enforcement.
Guard your personal information.
Online fraud often begins with a spoof email
requesting financial information. These spoof,
or scam, emails often impersonate a reputable
company such as 2BadMotorsports.com.com or Bad
Ass Riderz LLC by illegally displaying a company's
name, logo or trademark.
The intent is to deceive customers into revealing
information such as:
Username, Password, Social security number,
Bank account number, Bank routing number, Credit
card number
The only time we'll ever request your credit
card information is when you're in the process
of purchasing an ad on our website. We will
not take down your listing because you don't
provide account information. If you receive
an email that asks for the kinds of information
listed above, don't respond. Instead, report
the email to us and to law enforcement.
Inspections.
A vehicle history report can provide useful
information, such as who holds the title to
the motor vehicle, watercraft, aircraft, or
snowcraft and whether the motor vehicle, watercraft,
aircraft, or snowcraft has been in an accident
reported to authorities. You'll also find out
whether the motor vehicle, watercraft, aircraft,
or snowcraft was ever reported stolen, salvaged
or damaged. In addition to a vehicle history
report we suggest you have any vehicle inspected
by a qualified mechanic and always conduct a
test drive. Ask the owner for all service records
and any other paperwork they may have on the
car. CARCHEX will give any automobile a 55-point
pre-purchase inspection almost anywhere in the
USA. Whether it is across the street or across
the country their qualified, professional staff
performs most inspections within 48 hours and
can often provide same-day service.
For Buyers – please do
not forget to secure title to your new car,
truck, ATV, dirt bike, watercraft, aircraft,
and snowcraft.
For Sellers – make sure
the check you receive for payment is genuine.
For both Buyer and Seller –
make sure you exchange all the proper contact
information.
