I want to sell my car this month and wondered about eBay motors. How much do I have to give them after it sells? I want £5500 for the car and I guess it would take 500 to 700 of me? Selling little bits on eBay is simple but cars are more risky

It won't be nearly that much!

you normally ask them to pay you a £100 deposit or whatever amount you want. You then only have to pay them a % of the £100 not the £5500, they then just need to pay you the remainder of the money in cash or bank transfer when you exchange the car/money

Just checked up on the fees, anything over £3500 you have to pay £35 final selling charges.

check this link ---- http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/sell/motorfees.html

So if I say 200 deposit I get the charge off that and the remainder 5300 is mine?

 

[djgregory]

yes correct, however if you click the link above then ebay only take £35 for a final sale so you may aswell list it for the full price, just make sure if the person buying is using paypal that he adds the fees on

 

[liverpaul]

Ok thanks mate cleared that up a lot. Never do paypal with that amount only cash

Cars should be listed as classified ads. and you shouldn't be charge final value fee. but from experience, ebay is not the best place to advertise a car on. Auto trader is miles better
