E Bay Fun Circus
Actually not fun at all......
Listed my car for sale here and had interest but no sale. Listed on E Bay last week and had strong bidding. Then, several bids in a row by a bidder with 72 auctions but no car activity ever and no purchases in two years. He bumps the price up to the point where he was the high bidder, and then continued to bid 10 times , against himself, and of course the high bid does not change. So he clearly is trying to uncover the reserve. He gets outbid, and then two nights ago he does the same thing , uncovers the reserve, and then retracts his bid. I cancel his bid, block him, and report him to E bay. Then last night a new bidder hits the reserve right off the bat. New user who joined yesterday, no auction history, and has not asked me a single question nor contacted me. I figure this is the same user who probably is using another new account, with the intent to screw up my auction. I messaged him, told him he is going to own it and to contact me. Crickets. My auction now looks like a shill bidding seminar, and if I were a bidder I would not feel comfortable. Last edited by 67BelAir427; 05-04-2022 at 03:39 AM. |

I think we all know lots of guys that have had issues with E-Bay and some of them quite serious.
Other options are Hemmings, Cars on Line, BAT (and there are also issues with them from what I hear) or bring your car to an auction in the U.S. Paul |

If you cancel the high bid, I don't see how Ebay could charge you final value fees.

How do all the sellers that end their auctions early "because the item is no longer available" get by with it ?
We see this all the time. The ad states they reserve the right to end early, as the vehicle is for sale locally. Do you have this disclaimer in your ad, or can you add it now and then end the auction ?

I used classiccars.com twice with awesome success. Hemmings provided me with photo collectors and Chevy "critics".

They are separate from Pay Pal now, and things seemed to have changed. On my third call to the E Bay offshore call centre is was determined that E Bay Motors does not ahve final value fees . Seems they think I was selling model cars ? Last edited by 67BelAir427; 05-04-2022 at 03:42 AM. |

Well, that really sucks. I haven't sold anything on stealbay for over 10 yrs because of their BS and I rarely buy anything anymore either. Sorry you have to deal with this crap from people who have nothing better to do than screw up others auctions.

Let the auction run to the end. File a non paying bidder when the time frame for payment has elapsed and get your fees back. The best way to sell your car is to post on websites and ask what its worth and that you are thinking of selling it. , cars have a better chance to sell when they arent advertised for sale, if that makes any sense . A shame you have to play the game, but it works People want to think they are getting something before anyone else gets a chance.
