I've sold lots of cars on ebay. Sometimes with good results, sometimes not. It depends on the car and what the demand is.

i prefer autotrader. for $54 you can run it for 8 wks online and in the magazine. thats the route i have with my car. with your price it should go rather quick.

good luck with your sale man!

I used to sell cars on ebay for a living, as long as you describe the vehicle as best you can then youll be good, the problem is the buyers. Usually its financial problems, eyes bigger than their wallet, or they get extremely **** about stupid stuff after they take if over like all of a sudden we had an 03 cobras clutch go out with only 8000 miles on it and the guy was from hawaii. everything was fine when we had it and it was under factory warranty but for some reason he was blaming me. but a good 90% of the sales were easy and fast-hope this helps

Man Juan, if I could get someone to bite on my 01 Firehawk, I would be really interested in your car.

honestly it depends, I dont know all of the details on your car, but remember this, ebay started because you could buy something cheaper online than you could at a nearby store. so people that are on ebay are looking for a good deal, not an average one.

How much does it cost to sell a vehicle on ebay, or do they charge a percentage?

$50 to list and $40 after first bid past your reserve, or just first bid if you have no reserve.
Don't think they charge on the final sale price.

And I wish I could get into your hawk. My credit history is too short and not enough credit. I just started getting credit last year with a secured credit card. :sux2bme:

I used autotrader with my 95 Formula. Sold pretty quick for the asking price. Guy was a few blocks away from the 30th TA I wanted in lewisville. I liked how it shows online and on paper.
