Lets get one thing straight...
Until it is paid for and the item is gone it really hasn't sold.
It's that simple, No payment, no sale.
I don't care what anyone else said.
There is also quite a difference nowadays, every car is unique... Not like everyone wants what you have, matter of fact most cars today appeal to a small crowd, your best bets in terms of all-around appeal would be SUV's and pickup trucks followed by 4-door sedans and such, even then you will find a narrow market...
Once we get into sports cars and 2 doors the market narrows further, exotics would be for a truly narrow demographic and replicars? Who knows... It is a beautiful redhead that one, probably based on a Fiero, who knows, they did a good job but it's not a true Italian automobili either. Certainly looks sell but would it sell in a car and would it really do better on CL or FB?
You may wish to read up on ebay motors guidelines and specifications, ebay is not like anything else, selling a car on ebay is an art form in its own right. I have sold cars on auto trader magazines, ebay, cars.com, in-person auction, couple of other ways, they each encompass their very own art form.
Unfortunately since neither of us sell cars for a living we only get so many whacks at it, and in each trial there exist lessons and trifle and tribulation, it seems we get few chances to learn what the right way is and then they change the rules just to confuse us laymen some more.
Comparing ebay motor sales to anything else is apples and oranges, this is a unique platform, most everything else is too... If you have better luck elsewhere then by all means but don't bash one because the other works better for you.
So, to actually consider a car sold this has to happen:
The buyer needs to hand you the money in exchange for:
The car, the title, and the keys.
And if you can't get the basics of selling a car down then there will be no sale.
May want to do some reading, we're not selling a household item like a couch or a refrigerator.
It is a car, it comes with legal ramifications and is surrounded by regulation, adhere to the rules and you should do just fine. I've sold two cars on ebay.
One I got quite a bit more than I was hoping for, the other quite a bit less.
Then I had to pay fees, but both vehicles sold first try and within 7 days (plus a few more because both buyers were out of state) the vehicles were gone along with the title and the keys and I had my money.
You have to understand, having a car sold in 7 days is a RECORD for me.
I have sold cars in the past it took so long that 6-12 months later the blue book value had dropped!
So, if you can finagle out the right way to sell a car on ebay you may in fact see it gone asap.
You might consider some of the above when it comes to price as well, you get what you want or you get it gone, there does appear to exist a fine balance.
If not, then ebay motors may not be for you.
Happy selling.
