    Human Being sends me Ebay I think but it's in Chinese, and I can't read it much less order. If somebody knows how to order from the site please send me the info. Far as I know they can't read English and the postal addresses would never make it. But I'd love to order from there they got a ton if not all my parts.

    Thanks,
    Stacy

    try using Chrome browser, which offers automatic machine translation.

    also, use MCM advanced search to find descriptions of taobaofocus.com, which helps you order stuff from Taobao (China's vast ecommerce site).

    Is it possible or worth a try to get somebody on Ebay to order and just relay the part to me for an added cost. A bunch of people on Ebay that are in the area that sells to USA. Anybody know someone that does that? Or maybe the company in Canada that sells Chinese parts, they are called China Parts Depot.

    Thanks,
    Stacy

    There's no point ordering anything from eBay shipped to China because it will take forever (customs issues. Both sides). I ordered a Boyesen water pump and IRP (or something like that) oil cooler from eBay for my previous bike, a copy of '06 Honda CRF.
    The water pump arrived in 2 months or so. The oil cooler arrived 11 months after I ordered it.
    Better idea: taobao.com (Chinese eBay, that is) is pretty easy to master.
    If you work - ask your Chinese workmates help you. They will most likely have taobao accounts so you could just give them money and they'll order for you whatever stuff you want.
    If you have a Chinese g/f or wife - ask them, they'll figure it out or probably already have.

    Tabao is great, we probably use it to buy some thing at least twice a week.

    I can spend hours on there, as before about translations, for Chinese to English, the best translator seems to be Bing.
    Manages with all the links most of the time.
