UK Business Buyers Registered for VAT

If you are VAT registered in the UK, the price that matters to you is the net price, because you reclaim the VAT. Compared with a seller who cannot issue a VAT invoice, our net cost is frequently the lower real price, even when the advertised price looks higher. A full invoice is supplied with every order; for UK VAT-registered buyers it shows the VAT for you to reclaim.

Buyers outside the UK: this applies to UK VAT only. If you are buying from outside the UK there is no UK VAT in your price for you to reclaim - your order leaves the UK as an export, and any VAT or import charges that apply are those of your own country, collected at checkout or on delivery, not by us. VAT-registered businesses outside the UK: if you want to recover the import VAT in your own country, make sure your registered business name and VAT number are on your eBay account and on the delivery address you use at checkout, so that the customs declaration and the courier's paperwork are in your company's name rather than your own.

Price including VAT: £59.00 · Price excluding VAT: £49.17

Condition and Honest Appraisal

Where Our Tyres Come From - And Why It Matters

Not all part-worn tyres are equal. Everything depends on where they came from, so here is where ours come from.

Most of our tyres are removed from nearly new vehicles going through professional crash repair. UK repair standards mean parts are replaced as a precaution, regardless of condition. A common example: when a stolen vehicle is recovered, tyres are routinely replaced as a precaution, whatever their condition. Nothing is wrong with them. That is how a tyre with only one or two thousand miles on it, sometimes effectively new, ends up with us.

Compare that with where part-worn tyres usually come from. They come from end-of-life vehicles at breakers' yards, which means old cars and old rubber, often from vehicles involved in serious collisions. Or they are trade-in tyres from fast-fit tyre chains, removed because the customer judged them worn enough to replace. Both are legal and both are sold every day on eBay, but both are, by definition, tyres at the end of their life. Ours were at the beginning of their life.

What that means for you: newer tyres, deeper tread, recent date codes, from vehicles that were driving normally - not written off in major accidents. Check the date code and tread depth in our photos: we show them because we can.

Do not take our word for it. Read our tyre feedback. Buyers regularly tell us the same three things: our tyres arrive faster than expected, newer than expected, with deeper tread than expected. The words "like new" appear in our tyre feedback again and again, and because of where our tyres come from, many of them effectively are like new.

Our regular tyre buyers have understood one thing: a recent date code with good tread is better than an old "unused" tyre every time. Rubber ages whether it is driven on or not. A 2024 tyre with 6mm of honest wear is a better tyre than a tyre that has stood in a yard since 2019. Check our date codes in the photos. They are recent, and that is the point.

Before you buy any part-worn tyre from anyone - check the seller's feedback for the word "tyre." Tap our feedback score at the top of this page and search it. Then check the same for any other seller you are considering. We are happy to be compared.

Every tyre is inspected before we put it up for sale. Date code, tread depth and any marks are shown honestly in the photos - zoom in. If we would not use the tyre ourselves, we do not sell it. It goes for scrap instead.

Why Buy From Us?

Anyone can put a part up for sale on eBay. You are also buying the care and experience behind it: who selected the part, how it was checked, how it is packed, and what happens if something is wrong. Here is how we do it.

Four generations in the motor trade. The family firm C.E.J. Haime & Son supplied and repaired vehicles in the early 1900s, when motoring itself was new. Four generations later, the same family still trades in car parts. This is not a hobby that somebody started last year. It is our family business. You can read the full history in the "Our Story" section at the bottom of this page.

We have already solved the supply problems, so your order does not suffer them. Every parts business meets the same problems at the start. The spare part that looks identical but is not. Packaging that is too weak to protect a headlight. A carrier that is reliable with small parcels and rough with large body panels. A pallet left standing in a courier depot over a public holiday. A supplier whose stock turns out to be scrap from end-of-life vehicles. We have had all of these problems over the years, and every one of them changed the way we work: which bodyshops we buy from, how each type of part is packed, which carrier we use for which parcel, and delivering into the courier hubs ourselves instead of waiting for a collection. A seller who is new to this learns these lessons on your order. We already learned them years ago, at our own expense.

Packed to survive the journey. Headlights, painted panels, wheels and small electronic parts each have their own packing method, developed over many thousands of parcels. Fragile parts are boxed so that they withstand handling by couriers who do not know what is inside. This costs us more in materials and in time. It also prevents damage in transit.

We describe honestly and photograph properly. We photograph the scratches and damage as well as the good side, and we describe plainly what the part is and what it is not. If a part needs cosmetic repair before you fit it, we say so in the description, so that you are not surprised when you open the box. We would rather lose a sale by being honest than make a sale and then deal with a return.

A free fitment check before you buy. Send us your VIN (chassis number) in an eBay message, and we will check this part against your own vehicle, including the trim level, the factory options and the paint code. Those are exactly the details that eBay's own compatibility tool does not check. This service is free, you are under no obligation, and it takes only a few minutes.

We have a large stock of parts, not just a few single items. Our supply comes directly from professional bodyshops and it arrives continuously, so this part is rarely the only one we will have. If you are rebuilding a vehicle, the next part you need is often already in stock, or arriving this week. Please ask us.

A registered UK company. C.E.J Haime Group Limited is registered in England and Wales, and it is VAT registered. Trade buyers and VAT-registered buyers receive a full VAT invoice with every order.

If something does go wrong. Every order is covered by the eBay Money Back Guarantee, exactly like any other purchase on eBay, and we accept returns. Send us a message and you will get a clear answer from the people who packed the part, not an automated reply from a call centre. Solving a problem quickly has always been cheaper for us than arguing about it.

Four generations later, this company still carries our family name. We intend to keep its reputation intact.
