Car Care Tip – How To Get More For Your Car On eBay Motors

Everyday more and more people turn to eBay to sell products online and eBay Motors, the branch of the company created to sell vehicles is no different. We at Car Care Company have bought and sold vehicles at eBay Motors and have had both good and bad experiences in the process. Here we will attempt to point you in the right direction to make the eBay experience a beneficial

There are a few things that one should do in order to get the best price when selling online however. First, you must detail the car so that it appears as close to perfect as possible and you should be up front about any flaws. This will circumvent any headaches later.

Don’t go cheap on your auction description and pictures. It is far better to take many pictures and put them up as a slide show than to put one picture and say email for more. Many people will not go through the trouble of requesting more photos.

From experience Car Care Company suggests that you take pictures of the following:

Start at the driver’s side and take a shot at an angle shooting toward the headlight but showing the entire driver’s side in the photo then move around the vehicle taking the side, rear, passenger, and then straight on front. Be sure to take close ups of any damage or flaws and point them out in your text as well. Next, take good pictures of the interior including the seats, floor mats and under the floor mats, the headliner, and the dashboard featuring the odometer to verify the mileage.

Next, you want to take pictures of the engine compartment which is why it is crucial that it has been detailed as well. One little trick we suggest to do that we haven’t seen many do is to also take the dipstick out and take a close up of the oil to show that is fresh and clean.

Lastly, this is something we learned from a shopper on one of our auctions. People want to see the underside of the car as well to be sure there is no rust or other damage so be sure to take pics of the underneath as well as the fender wells.

Be sure to answer any email requests promptly and courteously and include your phone number so people can call with questions.

Following  these guidelines Car Care Company feels you should get the most for your car.

   Looks like you’ve got it covered here. I can’t imagine ever selling a car on Ebay but I’ve heard that there is a car sold on Ebay every 1.5 to 2 minutes. The $’s are staggering. Great Post.
