eBay selling - explain it to me!

[Col]

I'm looking to sell some stuff via eBay in the near future. One is the car I've got advertised on here.
Can someone run me through the pro's and con's of doing this? I've only ever bought on eBay before.

Thanks

Still selling that bit of tat?

[Col]

Yep!
Great little chariot!

Totally agree with the above also ebay does, probably, give you the best chance of making a sale quickly. I've sold quite a lot on it but you do encounter idiots with stupid questions (some prospective buyers seem unable to read a listing) and even more wanting you to end the auction early for a miserable offer.

You could always put the car in the trader?

Autotrader could be a better option. They give give you a free valuation under their selling option and you pay by the time listed.

sellings cars on eBay is a minefield. We sold a mk4 golf a few years back.
Cost us £16 to list it and then I think another £16 on final listing fees.

The winner didn't even contact us. eBay refunded our final listing fees, but only after lots of hard work I got the £16 listing fee credited back to my account.

Yeah col, I sell loads on ebay and definitely wouldn't put a car on. Fee's will end up being loads.

I'd give gumtree and autotrader a try first. Also, facebook is becoming a great way to sell via selling pages.

I've sold several cars on eBay over the years and never any problems just list as a classified add, think its £15, if its priced and advertised correctly you will sell in a few days.
