Paypal and Ebay notice for tankrings and handlebar risers

Hi Friends;
As many of the members of this forum knows that I have been making tankring to use Givi Tanklock tank bags on GRiSO (also Breva, Norge, Sport, Stelvio and V2) and handlebar risers for GRiSO since one year.
Many of you bought these items from ebay paying by paypal.
I have to inform you that, paypal will end its operation in Turkey by june 5th, 2016 because they could not get a licence from Turkish Banks Auditing Commitee.
This means that I have to stop selling these items in ebay because I can not accept paypal payments and transactions. I am working hard to find a solution but I don't think I find a solution in the near future.
All my listings in ebay will be stoped by june 5th. So, if anybody thinks of getting one these items, you may buy from ebay until june 4th. Here are the links:

Well that's pretty rotten! Can any of us help in any way? I could run it through this my account and then send the funds on to you, as could anyone else. Thing to do would be work out where is cheapest to send money to Turkey. My guess would be that Oz wouldn't be top of that list.

Anybody else got any bright suggestions?

Pete

Is there anybody who has a power to change Turkish Banks Auditing Commitee? It will help a lot

If we can help we will, the tank ring and the givi bag are one of the best add ons for the GRiSO i have bought.....that and petrol

Thanks

There is an eBay alternative, Bonanza.com but PayPal seems to have its hooks into that auction site as well as a method of payment but it may have alternative payment methods also. Not sure and I have never used the site.

Onur,
the tankring I purchased from you is quality kit.

I am guessing you dabble in making the tankings and bar risers etc as a side earner/hobby? If you are setup with your local financial institution as a credit card merchant (so you can accept credit card payments direct) you could consider a sales site like etsy.com that appears to permit users to pay directly using their credit card. Again I haven't used this site either but it may be worth looking into.

Hi Onur,
I to have bought two tank rings from you.  
Shame on PayPal   and your Turkish banks   you have to stop your helpful business.
Is there a way I or somebody else can help you from the mainland Europe?
Do you have contacts in the Netherlands, Germany or Belgium? Or else in Europe?
If you have ideas   , contact me, I want to help if possible.  

Hope to hear from you.
Ad B from Holland (Netherlands)

looking at the risers right now. 15mm or 20mm???

Thanks Ad B,
My cousin lives in Germany. I guess you think of opening an account in paypal for the name of contact (cousin) and continue selling in ebay.??? Well, this is one of the options. I am also checking the possibilities of hacky's advices. Preparing my own website is another option. How about Western Union? Let me get to work. I almost finish second version of side bar for Givi 3d600 panniers. First version had some mistakes.

Papa Lazarou; I am using 20mm. If you have long arms, 15mm would be preferable.

Cheers

Onur

Bought, with thanks.

Reserved barkod, will be sent tomorrow morning. I guess you receive it in 2 weeks.
Thanks
Onur

How about something simple for credit card processing like Square (available here in the US, but Turkey? I don't know...)

Make a simple website like Mark's for the Beetle Maps and receive payment via CC. It would be a shame to lose you as a source for nice things Guzzi...

Hope it works out. Just ordered your risers, MUCH nicer than the top mounted ones!

Good Morning;
I am not going to anywhere. I'll continue creating things for Guzzi and find a way to you to have them.
I 've been wondering...
What do you think about Guzzi stoped producing GRiSO and what is your opinions about V9? Is it a suitable replacement of GRiSO?

Good luck on sorting this out, Onur. I just picked up the ring and the bag.

I didn't see that GPS mount that you had available some time ago anywhere among your ebay listings- is that sold out? Seemed like quality kit.

Thanks for you order Ron,
Your items shipped. I sent you tracking no. via paypal and ebay which is RR260321396TR
GPS Mount (you mean hang bar) I still have it, if you like I can send it for $55 including shipping. I changed aluminum bar to stainless steel, also mounts are changed. Now it is lighter and easier to mount. As you know, I can not sell it in ebay with paypal payment any more. I think the best way for the payment now is Western Union transfer. You may send $55 transaction fee included. Just send me transaction number. My Full address for Western Union : Onur Kuraner -Uskup Cd. 5/4 Cankaya 06690 Ankara -Turkey and phone number +90-532-3366700
I guess you receive your items within 2 weeks. I hope you like the bag. Anyway, it is handmade
Cheers
Onur

No. Well, no. It's not.

While the engine and motive package used in the V9 is interesting it is still in a horrible 1970's frame with primitive suspension. No way in the world is it a replacement for any of the CARC bikes.

I am 10000% agree with you Pete

As I wrote yesterday, Givi 3D600 Pannier carrier is finished.
Material :
Arms : 6 mm 5754 Aluminum with black plastisol covered (Plastisole is very strong and durable material specially recommended for outside usage. Gives high resistence to water, dust and even acids and known corrosives. It is covered in special 300C oven on any metal. Finish looks shiny paint)
Bars : Stainless steel
Next, I will try to mount C-Bow carrier on this arms to carry Hepco&Becker C-Bow side bags. In this case 2 different brands in one solution will be available.

Received the bar risers today. They look good.

I'm a complete Newbie to Guzzi, and think they are making a mistake by discontinuing the GRiSO. The market Niche (what I will call the performance standard) it fills is just starting to rev up and they should develop and improve on the recipe, NOT discontinue it. Take the VMAX for example. I dont like what Yamaha did with it, but they kept this great platform going..... Same with the 1220 Sport and V11 they discontinued. I just saw the V9 yesterday, NO WAY it is a replacements for the GRiSO. Looks to be a 70's retro rehash.

That's because that is exactly what it is. 1950's/60's chassis technology with a fuel injected 1970's motor in it. The powerplant I can live with, just don't judge it based on its swept volume. The chassis is unforgivable.
