- Before listing your vehicle for sale on eBay, have all of the important information regarding your car ready, including vehicle history, vehicle identification number (VIN) and vehicle title information.
The description of your vehicle is your sales pitch: do it well and you will have greater success in selling your vehicle. In it, include everything you know regarding the vehicle's history, such as any accidents and whether you are the original owner. If you have maintenance records or if you've recently replaced parts, be sure to note that as well. Most buyers are interested in well maintained vehicles rather than one without maintenance information.
Be sure to mention any defects on the vehicle, particularly if they are not evident in the photographs you provide, so potential buyers have a better idea of the vehicle on which they will be bidding. - Provide plenty of photographs since it is unlikely buyers will see your vehicle in person before placing a bid. Show the vehicle at all angles so buyers know what they are bidding on. eBay Motor's vehicle sellers guide says about a dozen photos of your vehicle will suffice (see references).
In the photos, include every angle of your vehicle as well as the interior and the engine compartment. Don't forget to include close-up shots of any dents or scratches so potential buyers feel fully informed. - Include your email address and phone number in your listing or eBay profile so potential bidders can communicate with you. Anyone seriously interested in your vehicle will be more apt to bid if you respond to their questions promptly.
An open line of communication applies both during the bidding process and after a bid has been agreed upon and you reach the final payment stage. It also goes a long way when it comes time for your buyer to leave feedback regarding the transaction. As a responsive and honest seller, your buyers will thank you in the form of positive feedback.
