Over £600.00
5.25%of the initial £29.99 (£1.57), plus 3.25% of the initial £30.00 - £599.99 (£18.53), plus 1.75% of the remaining closing value balance

have a look on ebay sellers section,there are the fees listed for car sales.
its % of the total sale.
i think prob roughly the same as putting in auto trader etc...
HTH.

free car listing this weekend

It's not often you get something for free, but this weekend you can list any car (or other type of vehicle) on eBayMotors.co.uk for free using the Auction-style, Auction-with-Buy It Now or Buy It Now Only (Fixed Price) formats.

The normal Insertion Fee for vehicles is £8 each. Terms and conditions apply.

WE tried to sell our Citroen Berlingo a couple of weeks ago with a reserve of £2800 and it didn't go. Dh's theory is that Ebay is fine if you're looking to sell something that'll be a real bargain for someone, otherwise just use the local paper.

Ours was listed twice.

Anyone want a 2002 Berlingo btw?

we sold mg classic, and we had reverve and buy it now, it went up last minute sold it to abroad. depends what car, i think it cost the as advertising on auto trader.

I've sold two card via ebay - but off ebay !

Nothing naughty - I put reserves on both and neither met the reserves but came close. The high bidders emailed and made me a slightly higher offer and offered to buy that day for cash, so I took it - so I paid a listing fee but no % of selling price.

The listing price is cheaper than auto-trader and you avoid the interminable phone calls from trade mags wanting to advertise your car !

I would recommend it !

dh has sold loads of cars on ebay and bought a fair number as well.

they do take a bit in fees and I would avoid paypal payments for it.

Bobsmum I would love a berlingo but I need an automatic and I dont think they do one
