Whilst 'googling' e-Bay I bumped into some links or contacts for people who offer exactly this service - USA e-Bay items forwarded to Worldwide destinations.
Sorry I can't point to exactly where but they're on the net or linked to an e-Bay page.
Try typing your request into 'search'. Good luck.

Tony, if it's a one off thing I'm sure I can swing it with my mate in Connecticut. I have a 'shipment' almost ready to come over so I don't think it would be too much hassle to add another box. Let me know pronto if your interested and I'll get him to wait till yours arrives  ;) shit, I haven't given him the courtesy of asking yet but I reckon he'd do it  ;) (if not there's a few people who I know from the yahoo forums that may help since it's a desperation type deal, these are decent people also)

Thanx a mil Doc, the item is a Leat neckbrace for $51 new   :)!!! (only 3 people bid) I am waiting to see if they let it go? but there was no indication of a reserve price. I won it this morning, and I think its in Mona, Utah. seller is tonyopen and the store is Sandsuckinparts/atv/motorcycle. I hope its all above board and not another rip off artist, he has 100% good feedback on 20 items. Can you let me know where I must get it sent to?

MMM never ever buy on impulse, a cockhead and his money are soon parted, I jumped on ebay and saw 12 minutes remaining on a $40 neckbrace, well I should have read more carefully, as its misleading , it is actually only the graphics for a neckbrace. I think this guy does it on purpose, as it is cleverly misleading. So Doc, I have some useless stickers for $51 forking dolars arriving at your mates place so, thanks for the offer to send my stuff to him, You may as well get yours sent as he can just throw my stickers in the trash when they arrive. I wont hold your shipment up with wanker rockstar stickers.
Thanks again Doc

Sorry to hear this Tony :( a real piss off when this happens and yes, clever wording does catch many out. I've been caught out before too on a similar issue and it's my one bad mark against me as I refused to play the rip off game on postage. A few words and a bad mark hurt me much less than losing $100+ ;)

Dont pay that forker. Anyone in US selling to Oz knows that you get hosed on shipping and bullshit all the time. I am so glad some dickheads continue to give us in the US a bad rep with this crap. Just makes ya wanna mispronounce nuclear or terrorist. Tony, if you need a USA contact for parts e-mail me.

Tony I'll fwd the stickers on to you regardless when they arrive, with many local kids now wearing these Leat neck braces someone will want them and you'd probably get some money back  ;)

Yeah, you have to read the fine print all right. My wife bought a Gameboy game going cheap from USA, it arrived no problem, wrapped it up & gave it to my son about 6 weeks later for his birthday. Needless to say my son was a bit miffed at being given a empty box & upon rechecking the add realised it was only an empty box that was being sold.
And good feedback had allready been given to the seller after it arrived.
Chalk up another one to experiance.

I agree with James, don't pay the guy. I'd also report him to eBay, even though they'll tell you you should have checked the item carefully before bidding. I almost got caught on a Webco camshaft and kit for my Ducati. It turns out that I was bidding on the installation paperwork and a sticker. Luckily I was outbid at the last second by somebody equally as stupid as me. That stuff up would have cost me $140us.
 Be careful out there kids, the world is full of bad people!

Tony, are the stickers on their way to Connecticut? If so I could ask Mr Buz to return them straight up to save some time ;)

Tony,
If you are stuck with them, I'll buy them.
My young one has been on at me for months about a kit for his brace and it's his b/day soon.
let me know.
