Anyone sold a car on Ebay?
I'm curious, is it worth the supposed hassles (dead bidders, etc)? Any experience would be great to hear.

well, it's a HypeR so you'll get a couple crappy bidders.
You could say "I will retracked all bids from bidders with negative feedback" or whatever...
overall it's not bad...I'd put a reserve on it though, and outline how you'll ship it or arrange pickup.

from what i've seen, usually you won't get what you are looking for on ebay (from selling a car that is). But hey it doesn't hurt to try.

Rob, I looked into Ebay when I sold #009. Honestly, it was not worth the extra expense to me. Ebay would have ended up with a decent bit of coin.
Just list it on Autotrader.com. $40 keeps it on there until it sells. Include a URL to a site of your design, and you're golden.

Re: Anyone sold a car on Ebay? (Ross)
I listed my GSR on there for a week...... 40+ bids, but I didnt get what I wanted. I forgot to set a reserve, so it ended up "selling" to chrisonepointsix 
Anyway, I was charged $80+
$40 to list
$40 for final transaction fee
I believe another nice chunk for a reserve?
Honestly, I shouldve riced out the GSR so it would have sold.

My friend sold his Bike over ebay. 1 deadbeat bidder. He got him kicked off ebay.
He said it's fine just as long as they pay and you let them take care of shipping it.

haven't sold a car on Ebay, but I BOUGHT my R through Ebay. 
Just letting you know there are some legitimate buyers out there.
good luck selling no matter which route you decide.

Re: Anyone sold a car on Ebay? (Rob :190:)
I've sold two cars and bought two on Ebay.
My advice is to set the starting price at what you want for the car, and forget about a reserve. Putting a reserve and starting it at $1 just attracts all the dreamers to the sale. Putting what you want to start with allows people to get their financing arranged ahead of time.
