eBay Motors, a specialized section of eBay, is the world's biggest online—and one of the largest offline—automotive marketplaces. It consistently ranks as the #1 automotive site on the internet according to Nielsen/NetRatings, drawing more traffic than AutoTrader, MSN, and Cars.com combined. eBay Motors sees an average of over 12 million visitors each month, and since April 2000, more than ten million Items have been sold on the platform. A car is sold on eBay Motors every 60 seconds. Incredibly, more cars are sold on eBay Motors before 9:00 a.m. each day than an average car dealership sells in an entire year!
With 41.4 million unique visitors per month, Craigslist is the largest free online marketplace.
Simply put, Your car, boat, RV, airplane, or other motor Item will get significantly more exposure to potential buyers on eBay Motors and Craigslist than if You sold it through any other method. For instance, 75% of all Items sold on eBay Motors and Craigslist are bought by out-of-state buyers. Each Item listed on eBay Motors or Craigslist is viewed by an average of 1,200 people and receives an average of 8 unique bids. More bidders translate to a higher selling price for You!
In many States only a licensed Motor Item Dealer can sell a motor Item for You, so in select States or Cities we handle registered motor Items (cars, trucks, boats, recreational Items, motor homes, aircraft, etc.) differently from other Items that we sell for our Customers.
Our comprehensive motor Item listing service gives You a live, professionally-created eBay Motors Auction that will bring interested Buyers to Your listing. You then handle the rest of the transaction as a private Item sale.
We do not charge a percentage of Your Item’s selling price. Instead, we charge a flat listing service fee. You may pay the fee by MasterCard or Visa, or in cash. The listing service fee is:
| MOTORIZED VEHICLES & OTHER | FEES |
|---|---|
| Cars, light trucks, motorcycles and watercraft | US $200.00 - US $400.00 |
| Recreational vehicles and motor homes | US $200.00 - US $500.00 |
| Aircraft (under 4,000 lbs. max gross takeoff weight) | US $300.00 - US $500.00 |
| Other vehicles | Request a quote |
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.
| ITEMS | INSERTION FEE | TRANSACTION FEE |
|---|---|---|
| Passenger vehicles, Recreational Vehicles | US $40.00 | US $40.00 |
| Aircraft, boats, and most other vehicles | US $40.00 | US $40.00 |
| Motorcycles | US $30.00 | US $30.00 |
| Powersports (ATVs, personal watercraft, etc.) | US $30.00 | US $30.00 |
If Your Item 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 Item), eBay may also charge one or more of the following fees:
| OPTIONAL FEATURES | ADDITIONAL FEES |
|---|---|
| Reserve fee (refunded if Item sells) (recommended): | Passenger vehicles, Recreational Vehicles: 0.1% of reserve price ($5 min, $10 max) |
| 10-Day duration (recommended) | US $8.00 |
| Motors Pro Pack – includes Bold, Border, Highlight, Gallery Featured, and Featured Plus! (requires Feedback Score of 10) | US $29.95 |
| Highlight | US $5.00 |
| Bold | US $4.00 |
| Border | US $4.00 |
| Buy It Now | US $1.00 |
