NC for this. Has anyone had any experience of selling or buying - or trying to - a used car on Ebay? What are the pros and cons for selling? Any tips? Any dos and don't? How do I minimise fees but safely? It can't be test driven but should we allow home viewings? We have an MOT failure car and it needs too much work doing for us to want to take the time and money to put it right. It is a make attractive to enthusiasts and a friend has suggested we auction it on Ebay for spares or repair or for use on private land. It is too good to scrap although having done that before we would get around £300 that way and it would be by far the quickest, easiest and safest option. It would be good to get as much as possible for it though and to think someone would appreciate it. Although it starts it would need to be trailered away not driven or towed as it has no MOT, is now SORN and all wheel drive (like 4x4). I feel cautious because at hundreds of pounds it is a higher value item than I would usually sell - just a very small-scale seller of our preloved items but with 100% feedback over the years - and two re-listings I saw mentioned 'the usual Ebay timewasters' who I assume just didn't turn up to pay after the auctions had ended or then refused to pay despite the condition being fully described and photographed in the listings. Any advice welcome. Thank you.
