eBay Motors and the original eBay marketplace have plenty of things in common. First, fixed price buying and auctioning are offered. These bigger items on eBay Motors are also subject to bidding wars just like sought after items on eBay.

Your description is what will help you attract more people to your vehicles. With a car, the investment is huge. Spending $40,000 on one car is nothing to sneeze at. Buyers want to know the features before they throw down that much cash.

How to Begin

Use the eBay Sell your Vehicle Checklist. This ensures that you cover all of your bases when preparing your vehicle for action. The checklist asks for the same information you will use to create your listing.

EBay Motors charges fees similar to the other eBay. For sellers, there is the Insertion Fee and the Successful Listing Fee. The Successful Listing Fee is charged when someone bids on your item for sale. Everyone is charged an Insertion Fee just for listing the item with the site.

Bidders will ask about the history of the car. You wouldn't believe how many people try to sugar-coat where the vehicle has been since it left the factory. It is like one of those Carfax commercials with the car made from two separate cars listed as new bodywork.

Transferring vehicles in the same state and between states are governed by a set of laws. Know the laws for yourself and for the person buying your car. Title work, licensing and emissions need to be investigated before selling the car.

EBay Motors has selling policies also. You don't want to run afoul of the system by doing something that you are not supposed to. Follow the rules and avoid black marks.

There is the all-important question of shipping. How will you get that car to its new owner? Invest money in working with a shipping service that will pick up and deliver the vehicle door to door.
