Selling Cars on eBay -
Drive Yourself to More eBay Auction
Money
The other commercial arrangements are simple. You could work on a
commission, where you get a percentage of the sale price. Or you could
agree a price which the dealer will accept for the sale of the car,
and anything you can get above that price is your profit. This would
work particularly well if the dealer has had a vehicle for some time,
and is losing interest in it!
The best types of cars to sell on eBay are those that are unusual for
one reason or another. It might be vintage or classic vehicles, sports
cars or high value models. You're best to avoid what might be termed
"normal" cars.
One of the major potential problems is easily handled. You can't
expect the dealer to cease trying to sell a vehicle which you have on
eBay auction. In every auction you run for a car, you state that the
vehicle is also on sale in other ways, and that you reserve the right
to withdraw it before the end of the auction period. You will see such
statements on many eBay car auctions.
Incidentally, this idea doesn't have to be limited to cars. There are
big ticket item opportunities in several categories. You're looking
for retail outlets which tend to concentrate on local advertising and
local trade. Examples of this would be jewelers, antique traders and
real estate operations.
With big ticket items, just one or two sales per week could make a
significant difference to you.
Worth thinking about!
