Why Sell On eBay?
The World's Market place = maximum exposure
Ebay is by far the World's largest marketplace for anything you may ever want or need. Selling cars on Ebay has become very popular over the years and many people swear by it as a means to opening up their car to many buyers who wouldn't normally have seen while using a traditional advertising method such as local newspapers and cards in shop windows.
Some factual statistics for your consideration.
Ok, there are only two statements, but it's not about quantity, it's about quality. So in essence, your classified advert on ebay has the potential to reach 3 million people. An auction has the potential to reach as many people.
What will sell and how is it done?
If your car is something different or unique in any way, for example, a Ford Mustang, in the UK, this car is something different, therefore it'll attract a specialist buyer, more quickly than a Vauxhall Astra. One search for an Astra will yield a result of thousands, because the Astra is one of the most popular cars in Britain. on the other hand, if you do have an Astra and you are wishing to sell it on Ebay, you have to make the listing stand out in the crowd, or else you're going to get overlooked.
It's not rocket science
The trick is to make your listings stand head and shoulders over the rest, no matter what product you are selling. It's no secret, it says so on the Ebay site and they give some very good advice to Ebayers in order to make listings stand out. However, you still see listings with differewnt coloured text in hard to read fonts that look like a two year old has written without the use of spellchecker or any regard to the reader. They still wonder why they are not selling their product.
We recognise this, therefore, all our listings are professionally constructed, professionally written for each listing, not written from a generic template. This gives your item a better chance of selling.
Pricing
The price you are wanting for your car and the value of your car could be Worlds apart. We are here to help you with every detail of the sale. Ebay is the Worlds market place for people looking for collectors items, trinkets, household items and most of all, a good bargain.
When setting a price or a reserve price for your vehicle, you must have a lowest price in mind. When advertising your car in the local paper or autotrader, many people will set the price at £7,995 - However, they over compensate for the haggling factor in the hope of getting an offer of £7,500.
This is an audtion, so you need to have a think about the lowest price you will accept for your car. So you set the reserve to £7,250 for instance. Once the reserve is met, the car is on sale, therefore, you are contractually obliged to accept the figure at the end of the auction; your car is sold.
Please check our price guide for details of our fees and if you choose to use our services, please take our fees into consideration when setting the reserve price of your car.
