James - don't waste time and money with ebay when selling (good) cars, use AT (and not the online 'dangle berries', the printed one)

Is it really any good?
for one thing, only people who buy mag are in market for new car ;)

If they want it they'll come to you.

I agree with Kevin, but would also consider this.

Anyone that wants you to do the running about, do the sums for the journey (both ways) add 10% and ask for that ammount to be paid up front, then if they still pi$$ you arround it was at thier exspence.

i've only ever advertised cars on ebay with a classified section advert, £12.99 for 28 days purely because ebay gets alot of viewing traffic and i use a secondary phone number, i wont travel anywhere with the car, if someone genuinely wants it, they can come to me to see it

Sorry to hear about your negative eBay experiences, James. But your tales do explain something that's always puzzled me a bit - why I so often get "rave" feedback from sellers. Just paying for stuff promptly when I've won it seems like a basic minimum to me, but it seems it's exceptional enough that sellers find it a welcome novelty.

As far as Auto Trader online is concerned, as a buyer I went out at my considerable expense to three cars that had the word "immaculate" in the description (backed up with verbal assurances over the 'phone) but were in fact utter piles of sh*te. So sellers can be wasters too.

Having said that, my current device came off AT online (described as "good condition") and it's a cracker. He sold it the second day it was up for close to his asking price and I got a good car at a price I was happy with. Buyer and seller satisfied. It can happen.  :y
