Selling a Car on eBay

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Selling a car on eBay is different in many ways to selling regular items there because of the amount of money and the paperwork involved. Sellers and buyers all want to feel safe making transactions on eBay, and with an item as large and expensive as a car, there are extra steps that you need to take in order to make people comfortable with doing business with you.

Before you list your car for sale, you’ll want to take as many pictures as you think would be necessary to show what the car looks like including different angles from the exterior and the interior of the vehicle. Does your car have any scratches or stains? If someone buys your car and finds it different from the listing, then you are going to have a tough time sorting it out with the buyer. In addition to this, your eBay account could be negatively affected through negative feedback or even a suspension of selling privileges depending on the seriousness of the situation.

When listing your car for sale, every detail counts. If the car doesn’t come exactly as the buyer sees in it your listing, then they will feel like they’ve been cheated. If your car has any parts missing, it would be wise to make a note of it in your listing. Mileage is also an important statistic to note on your listing. If you plan on using the car while people are still bidding, make a note of that too, otherwise the actual mileage when a buyer is chosen will be greater than the mileage mentioned in the listing. It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but if the buyer finds it to be a big deal, then you might lose the sale.

It doesn’t matter what you set your starting bid to. What really matters is how much you’re willing to get to part with the car. This is why you need to be careful when creating your listing. Don’t make the mistake of setting a low starting bid without also setting a reserve price. If your reserve price isn’t met, then the listing will end without a winning bid. Otherwise, if you don’t set a reserve price, your car could potentially be sold for much less than you had intended.

Make your terms clear in your auction about payment and pick-up. Obviously, a car is a huge investment and not everyone has a few thousand or more dollars lying around. Give the buyer a reasonable timeframe in which to either submit a deposit or to submit payment. You should specify whether the buyer is expected to come in person to pick up the car, or if the car is to be shipped somewhere. If the car is to be shipped, you’ll also need to specify who is responsible in paying the shipping fees.
