Why Sell Your Vehicle on eBay? 

eBay Motors, a specialty site within eBay, is the world’s largest online--and one of the world’s largest offline--automotive marketplaces.  It is consistently ranked the #1 automotive site on the Internet by Nielsen / NetRatings, with more traffic than AutoTrader, MSN and Cars.com combined. eBay Motors has an average of over 12 million visitors every month, and more than one million vehicles have been sold on eBay Motors since April 2000. An automobile sells on eBay Motors every 60 seconds.  And although it is hard to believe, more cars are sold on eBay Motors before 9:00 a.m. each day than an average car dealership sells all year!

What does this mean to you?  Simply that your car, boat, airplane, or other motor vehicle will receive much more exposure to potential buyers on eBay Motors fifth home than you would get if you sold it any other way.  For example, 75% of all vehicles sold on eBay Motors are to out-of-state buyers.  Each vehicle listed on eBay Motors is seen by an average of 1,200 viewers, and receives an average of 8 unique bidders.  More bidders means a higher selling price for you! 

How iSold It Helps You Sell Your Vehicle on eBay Motors

Because only a licensed motor vehicle dealer can sell a motor vehicle for you, we handle registered motor vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, recreational vehicles, motor homes, aircraft, etc.) differently from other items that we sell for our customers.

Our comprehensive motor vehicle listing service gives you a live, professionally-created eBay Motors auction that will bring interested buyers to your listing. (Click on the screen shot at right for a larger view.) You then handle the rest of the transaction as a private vehicle sale.

The iSold It Motors listing service includes:

• An objective assessment of your vehicle’s fair market value
• Professional photography of your vehicle, inside and out (typically 30-50 photos)
• Creation of an eBay listing with a self-running slide show and a detailed description of your vehicle’s features
• Launching the auction on eBay under your own eBay member ID

You are responsible for:

• Setting up an eBay seller account, if you do not already have one
• Providing an email address and phone number where bidders can contact you
• Answering questions from prospective buyers by e-mail and phone
• Collecting payment and closing the transaction with the winning bidder

iSold It Motors Fees

We do not charge a percentage of your vehicle’s selling price. Instead, we charge a flat listing service fee before we photograph your vehicle. You may pay the fee by MasterCard or Visa, or in cash. The listing service fee is:

eBay Fees

eBay Motors charges an “insertion fee” when your auction starts, and a “transaction services fee” if your auction ends with a winning bidder.  eBay charges these fees directly to the credit card or bank account you place on file with eBay when you establish your seller account.

If your vehicle does not sell the first time it is listed, eBay allows it to be relisted; if it sells the second time, eBay refunds the Insertion Fee for the second listing. 

Depending on the optional features you select for your auction (we can make recommendations for what is best for your particular vehicle), eBay may also charge one or more of the following fees:

Ready to Get Started?

Just call any of our stores at 972-991-EBAY at least 24 hours in advance for an appointment.  You will bring your vehicle to our store.  We will need 20 to 30 minutes with you, and another 30 to 45 minutes to photograph your vehicle.  Your listing will usually be ready to post on eBay under your account within one business day. 

Remember that your vehicle will look (and sell) the best if it is clean inside and out, including door and seatback pockets and the trunk.   Be sure that all owner's manuals and the original dealer window sticker, if you still have it, are in the glove box.  Also, bring all of the keys and remotes that you have for the vehicle with you so we can photograph them.
