Well folks I placed my first order this morning with Taobao for several parts including the 13 tooth C/S and then some possible replacement parts for up the road, things that I may need and can't get from my deal (no spare parts in stock here), just do it myself.:clap:
I set up an account with http://www.taobaotrends.com/ as per SpudRider's comments and one with http://www.engtaobao.com/ as per (???) can't remember his name :doh: but thanks for the information. Setting up the account was easy with both and I was going to place the same items in both account shopping carts so I could compare the item price and shipping costs but...
The engtaobao went just fine, copy and paste the item url and all very easy but they only accept a Visa or MasterCard for payment and I had wanted to use PayPal.
With Taobaotrends setting up account was easy and copy and paste the URL and then I got the notice (as did the other member that mentioned engtaobao)
"CAN WE Appreciate if you make payment by Western Union for the new orders, pls Click here for the information by Western Union .
The bank agree to integrate the Credit Cart payment function to our site, but they ask us build a shopping cart at www.taobaotrends.com, the products at our site are only for exhibition.

Well that's a pain. I'd have to go into town about a kilometer (not bad) but filling out the papers and the hassle :tdown: it is to go through that just isn't easy, they are very slow at the Western Union branches, not that "easy, shop at home" that I wanted (lazy me) :zzz:.
So now I'll wait and see how it all goes and give you an up date.
Now I need to get into the city this week and see if I can locate a 46 tooth rear sprocket or I'll order it on eBay.
Thanks again to all of you that have provided so much valuable information on all of this. Knowing about Taobao will be a big help to me here in Iloilo, Panay, Philippines. As I've mentioned, my Motorstar dealer has no stock on hand and if you order something they have no clue as to how long it will take to get in; absolutely terrible customer service. So with you guy's help and Taobao, heck, I can order just about any part I will need and this will make my ownership of this RX3 more pleasurable:clap:.
:thanks:
