I've actually already done one... I did it the 3rd day of owning the bike back in august.. To get the idea of it... The camera was in my helmet touching my lips so my voice is all... Podgey (if you know what I mean)... Decided not to add it
I will have to have a nose around everyone's blogs and see how they all are

GRRR RARR RARR!!!!
I ordered my GOPRO HD 2 from a lovely EBay seller in Americana... It was picked up by USPS from him on the 7th (Have tracking formation).... Then there was NO tracking information until the 17th of Feb after I asked him to get in touch with them and find out where it was....
If I revceive my GOPRO with some USPS's testicles on my SD card then I won't be best impressed!!!

Be careful, because he can just say, he's gave you all the tracking information so it's up to you to track, if it's not received within the dates thats been specified then you get intouch with the seller.
UPS have a great tracking service & is by far better than Parcel Force & any other leading courier, I'd also give UPS a ring just to comfirm it was collected & received in the sorting hub before taking it up with the seller atleast then you know what the seller is telling you is the truth or not.
I deal with this type of business everyday, delivery couriers can be a pain in the a$$ when wanting to get intouch.
Cover all options make sure you have plenty of information to back up what you say just incase he throws a curve ball.
Hope it arrives soon!

If it doesn't arrive, it doesn't matter what he says. Under distance selling regulations the onus lies with the supplier to deliver the item purchased.
Had an ebay seller try to fleece me once saying I didn't pay for the insurance. He's right I didn't because the insurance is for the sender not the receiver.
Made a paypal dispute, got my money back. Sorted.

Isn't UPS... its USPS
I got in contact with the seller saying that it hadn't been tracked since the 8th (It was tracked as USPS picking it up from him) but nothing after that.
He replied saying that he would get in touch with them and find out what was going on.
Later that day it had been tracked across 3 hubs lol. It has been updated since and is awaiting leaving New Jersey... its just annoying that USPS hadn't moved the damned thing from their initial hub between the 8th and the 17th.... GRR RARR RARR!!!
Hopefully it will be here soon... and customs won't attack me

But USPS is only a sub contractor isn't it? I've bought tonn's of stuff from US & Parcel Force, Royal Mail, DPD, City Link have delivered it, I think it's whichever service picks it up within UK borders.
Also would you get custom charges as it's still within the country not being exported? or is it different between states?
Insurance is covered by both parties, if the receiver wants extra security on his/ her parcel they have to pay extra. Parcel Force only cover items upto £90, Royal Mail only cover up to £40.
A sender sends it by who he or she pleases unless the receiver specifies what courier in that case he or she pays more.
Extra insurance can be added but is rarely added because of hte mark up that a product eventually costs.
Manufacturer - $100 - Trade - $120 - Retail - $140
So what they retail at, they make profit on postage. So they can afford to post it on a cheaper & less insured rate than a standard rate.

Shipping is from New york - England... Sometimes Customs is already sorted... sometimes it isnt..
I ordered a cable (Just a simple 3.5mm jack to dual 3.5 female sock cable) from america (As they don't sell this particular type in the UK) $27 for the cable, $5 postage.... Parcel force charged me £11.50 for customs charges (That was a £3.5 customs charge and an £8 Parcel Forced Handling Fee)
DOH!!!!
That £8 handling fee annoyed me!

A receiver does not need to pay anything additional to guarantee delivery of a product. (not talking about custom charges they're different)
Distance selling regulations put the onus on the supplier to provide the service which was paid for.
Insurance only allows a sender to recover their own losses should the parcel be lost in transit, they still have an obligation to provide you with your goods.
Therefore all this bollocks on ebay about paying for insurance is only for the benefit of the seller, not the buyer. It's a very common mis-conception.
