How many of you have actually had a succesful sale from selling your car on eBay??

Thinking of putting the astra on there, would it be worth my while you think??

Cheers

one thing i will say start the bidding at what sort of price you want for it rather than a reserve kus if the car doesnt sell you stil have to pay fees if you have a reserve price

well atleast you used to

Not actually sold one one ebay but a very good advertising source, have had more interest than AT; people call after or durring the auction to enquire about a cash buy

Cost me £6.50 for my corsa and had loads of pics etc. You only pay an additional fees if your car sell. I.E meets its reserve

The last 3 acrs and 1 motorbike I bought cash sale but via an ebay AD.

Ebay is very strange... some cars are total bargins like I paid £800 for a M reg fully loaded Calibra, and just bought a S reg Corsa Sport for £1150 boh cars could have sold for double on autotrader but they might have took a while to sell.
Some decent damaged cars... a 206 GTI went through for just over 2K only needed a door spaying and bits of plastic trim.

PS2's are at the moment selling for more than in the shops, unbeliveable!!!

Some people get there hats nailed on and others don't and other make lots of money.
