I just use the classifieds option at 15 squid, gets rid of idiots that bid and then dont turn up.

Selected accounts only.

Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Yes, I did. I would probably PX next time though.

Thought i saw this beaut on M3 cutters the other week, looked mint through and through and glad you got a headache free sale at the end.

Selling an expensive car privately is now nigh on impossible... Lease my car now far less hassle and I give the keys back to them after 2 years and pick up the keys of my new one.

I know it's obvious, but auto trader at £10 for 2 week advert.....had 125 views, reduced the price once, and had 5 people interested and one came to purchase......first car I have ever sold, as usually have PX as have negotiated other discounts from dealer.

I've tried selling several cars through EBay without success with the free classifieds of Gumtree to be much more successful.

Cocaine

Nice one OP, I am selling my camper when I get back off holidays, so this could save me a bit. heat added

£10 for 2 weeks! F OFF will ya, it's way more than that!

Seems invite only

not for me Unfortunately, this promotional offer is by invitation only.

Worked for me

Invite only, scummy feebay

why use ebay when you can sell it for free on gumtree - people seem to be a lot more reliable, although you still get silly offers

Not sure my classic 1996 Honda Civic with side panel dent, scratches and broken almost everything is worth £20!

All eBay deals appear to be selected accounts only, rather than across the board. I didn't get an eMail invite for this one, it just appeared on My Summary (under Selling). So it's worth looking there to see if you have the offer.

No, they have a cheap rate if the car is sub-£1000 and always have:
autotrader.co.uk/sel…ces

But selling a remotely expensive car is a totally different experience to selling a cheaper one, you can look forward to test pilots, tyre kickers, dreamers who haven't ever earned or seen that kind of money. Sometimes a garage is the best way, just to be done with it or at least using their brokerage services - but not Webuyanycar, just to test it out I got a quote and it was £6000 under book value and that was for 'excellent condition', what's the bets that gets dropped later...

Thanks Airbus330 :wink:

So when you buy a car you never lose any money? The car is worth the same when you want to sell it is that what you're saying? You should definitely post on lease deals on this forum, then again I'm absolutely certain you must have done. Word of the day : clueless.

I just worried that haven't got enough bubble wrap before I head down to the post office with my Ford Fiesta.

Auto trader still no 1 for selling. I've only ever px 1 car as dealers offers can be as bad as wbac unless you are putting 1000s on a new car. £55 for 5 weeks advert is best value. If it's a popular car in good nick at right price it will sell. If no calls it's probably priced too high but you know when price is right when phone starts too ring!! Unfortunately every car selling media will bring time wasters

Depends on what kind of car you're selling i guess. Personally i find Gumtree a pain in the neck when selling cars. All i ever get are people who can't speak English, wasting my time. (_;)

try reading it again you dimwit

Amount of idiots who buy your car, then... silence.. get an f'ing life people have s h t to do & now £20 in fees for nothing, serious idiots on eBay

あなたの車を買ってもいいですか？ :stuck_out_tongue:

Condition: Used. Some general usage marks.

But you are spending/loosing 6-7K+ every two years for the rental - cant see why people see the appeal unless a work perk. Far better off buying a vehicle used which has taken the grunt of new car depreciation and owning it. You would be unlucky to have to spend anything near what you loose on maint and still has value at the end when you want rid. Get people cant afford brand new cars outright...but sod keeping up with the joneses, plenty of nicer cars used to play with :smile:

I bet they won't give you the same offer when you have to relist it through timewasters. Classified anyday over auction.

Unlikely.

It's worth noting though that there is the option to do a fixed price listing (rather than just auction).

The posters reasoning has nothing to do with you, if someone wants to sell a car then that's up to them. They paid for it it's theirs to do as they wish.

For all we know he may have thought it was crap

waste of time on ebay as 99% of people just bid fo fun and dont turn up or if they come they haggle :disappointed:

thanks Op, clicked the link and signed up - no brainer :smile:

If you are selling privately, how do you guys accept payment ? I assume punters don't rock up with a carrier bag of cash ?
What's a safe method please?

Don't be too gutted...you can bet the "local lad" with the £31,400 would have called off later or, at best, turned up and found a couple of wee faults therefore £30k max for cash blah blah blah....
I got a guy who came and insisted on leaving me a cash deposit of £50...THEN NEVER CAME BACK!!! Weird!!!

Don't EVER sell to WeBuyAnyCar etc....offered me £1100 for my Ford Focus, sold easily privately for £3250 !!!

What type of cars have you listed and what price bracket?

I'm looking to sell a BMW soon for around £8k but not sure whether to list on eBay classified or auto trader..

Didnt get a single contact when I tried selling car on ebay - was waste of money !

Less hassle at We want Your Car

has anyone actually managed to sell a car on eBay ?

Nope. Gumtree is usually quite good, but be prepared for a lot of timewasters though!

wow oO one of the many reasons why i would never sell cars on ebay. sorry man

they're not a charity! :smile:

I've just started selling on ebay again, and had totally forgotten how depressing the fees are :disappointed:

After 6 years, you can spend £21k approximately on renting decent cars. Cars that aren't yours and nor can you put on a private registration.
People don't need new cars but are so desperate to show of a new plate that they'll fall for these lease deals.

£21k can get you a fully loaded used BMW 520d that would outlast those 6 years by far and it's your car forever. Also most likely a better car than the rented ones chosen over the next 6 years.

if it's your own money, buying a used 3 or 4 year old car that has been serviced properly over the years is the only way to go if you want decent value

nice low mileage BMW 3 series for £10K, that sort of thing

Easy tiger! You need to check your facts :smile:

TBF, its probably the widest audience you can get nowadays. I've sold 6-7cars over the years, most of which sold and buyer came no issues. Had one sell in 45mins on buy now and another i had to relist 3 times as auction due to time wasters...but even that sold in the end. Obviously get quite a few low offers but that's part of selling any car

£20 on fees is a complete bargain mind, be well worth the hassle

I'm selling my E92. 325i 07-reg, 78k FSH. Very very well looked after. See here e90post.com/for…307 and here gumtree.com/p/b…608

Summer is the market’s dog days as they say. I'm struggling to sell my 13 reg Honda Jazz with 65 on the clock.wasted money on auto-trader not had a single call, no luck with Gumtree either. At this price I may just give it a go I guess.
