Ebay bike sales

Anyone sold a bike on ebay? how did it go? I have advertised my sons YZF on there and this is the second time around with no sale and at £10 a pop it is not cheap to advertise (yet alone when they take their £20 fee on a sale!furious). I appreciate it is the wrong time of year to sell but money is needed for the DT!

Let me know if the AD looks ok or have i done something that is putting people off? It had 19 people watching last time and i had some silly offers for it! It would fetch £2000 easy in summer i think.

Why don't you just put it up as a classified ad? Costs £14.99 for 28 days last time I did it and it's just like an advert, have people to view it and take it down when it sells no final value fee

out of interest, say the bike did get to £2000, how much paypal fees/charges does the buyer have to pay on top?

Depends on category but last time I checked it was 10% for vehicles on the final value fee with a maximum of £40

So if it went for £2000 you would loose;

£40 final value fee
Insertion fee (let's say £2)
And if you wanted to pay by paypal it would be 3.2% + 20p so £64.20

So from the £2000 selling price you could only get £1893.80

Bit of a joke really? Would never sell a vehicle as an auction to be honest and would NEVER accept paypal payment for one. If purchased through ebay the buyer will never have to cover any sort of fee it's always the seller that gets royally done over.

Is it £20 because it's vehicles or is that new? Everything else is £40 iirc

Yeah It's a hell of a lot better - or just throw it on gumtree or similar sites for free

Good as well if someone messes you around you don't loose out on cash

again trader is good but whay pay for something you can get for free ? gumtree alone gets just as many hits and views ..

to check what site may have the best views or google hits just type. yzf r125 for sale . in to google and see what comes up as the top 5 ?

Got no idea. Don't think I was aware of these sites when I was selling my bike.
