Used Cars For Sale On Ebay

Posted by admin at 19:55

There are thousands of used cars for sale on eBay every
single day. In fact, eBay Motors is the most profitable
sales division on eBay and simply there are many
entrepreneurs who are curious in jumping into this
market. For instance, eBay claims it sells an Suv every nine
seconds and is the biggest online car dealer in America,
exceeding the primary car companies. In fact, there are
15 million cars sold over the Internet each year - and
growing.

The new rapid increase of the consignment enterprise model
has made the used car shop even more enticing. Many
sellers are able to sell cars they have never even seen and
with no more risk than the cost of the auction listing. Some
negotiators even persuade the car owner to pay for the ad,
thereby risking no more than their time.

The biggest single issue for this enterprise model is the
trust of prospective buyers. After all, paying thousands or
tens of thousands of dollars for a car sight unseen is an
awesome leap of faith. Even buying for a plane mark to go
see a car before paying causes buyers to be uncomfortable.

The best way sellers can overcome this fear is to use an
escrow service. Ebay has a favorite service, and it's
easiest to use that one.

An escrow service acts as a neutral third party. In an
exchange of merchandise, the buyer sends his money to the
escrow service and the jobber ships the product to the
buyer. The buyer usually has two days to recognize his
purchase, and if he is happy, he notifies the escrow company
who releases the money to the seller, minus its fee. If the
buyer is dissatisfied, he returns the undamaged merchandise
to the seller, and after the jobber receives his merchandise
back (in satisfactory condition), the escrow service returns
the buyer's money. Thus both sides in the transaction are
protected. The buyer almost all the time pays the fees for this,
although sometimes buyer and jobber split the cost.

eBay's offers a "Vehicle Services Division" specifically for
dealing with the used cars, trucks, Suvs and almost anything
else with wheels and a motor. The buyer can ask a 160
point inspection performed before according to the purchase.
This is an reasonable service and de facto will save the
purchaser many headaches.

* The buyer pays a 5 fee that is non-refundable

* The jobber is contacted and the inspection is carried outv
* The buyer receives a reportv
* The buyer chooses to go ahead with the buy - or not

Another option for the buyer is to deposit his payment with
the escrow service and then take delivery of the vehicle.
The jobber ships the car after he knows the money his
secure. The jobber must provide tracking information, which
is then verified.

The buyer has in the middle of one and 30 days to wholly inspect
his new buy (the duration is negotiated in the middle of the two
parties ahead of time). If this time expires and the escrow
company has not heard from the buyer, it assumes he is happy
and gives the buy price to the seller.

The buyer may return his vehicle if he isn't happy and
sometimes buyers and sellers work out partial payment
agreements, the buyer being satisfied with some parts of the
transaction, but not with others. If a dispute arises, it is
settled by the American Arbitration Association.

The fee for this service is:

* - ,500 = value of vehicle: 5

* ,500.01 to ,000: 0

* ,000.01 to ,000: 0

* ,000.01 to ,000: 5

* ,000+ = 6% of the value

Once both parties have agreed, the title change process
begins and the escrow service will guarantee this too, for a
fee of . The fee, naturally, doesn't include any transfer
costs - it is only assurance that the title will be
expedited to the delight of both parties.

eBay's escrow service also offers a service that will ship
cars almost anywhere in the world and will gather an auto
history report to acquaint sellers if their new chariot has
been salvaged or stolen, suffered flood or hail damage, been
in a fire or accident, has had an odometer rollback or has
been used as a police car, a rental or a taxi.

Anyone considering offering used cars for sale on eBay would
be well advised to wholly learn the escrow services
available and offer those to prospective buyers. The trust
factor will skyrocket and your chances of completing sales
will dramatically increase.
