Can anyone give me any advice on listing a bike on eBay.
Believe you pay an initial fee for the listing followed by a percentage of what the bike sells for.
Bit reluctant to use Ebay but it seems a lot of people do so can't be all bad.
If you dont want an auction, you can sell a vehicle for a fixed price on an eBay "classified ad", which last time I used it, was £14.99 and still is by the look of it.
Its worth at least an attempt on the free sites before shelling out on adverts, ive sold many of my bikes (and a couple of cars) on the likes of gumtree and my personal fave, Pistonheads.
Just be mindful you will get timewasters contact you (mainly be email/message) and scammers of course, I just ask for all serious enquirys to call, rather than email, helps sort the wheat from the chaff.
Already used MCN,no takers this time so that's £40 down the swanny.Used MCN in the past with various degrees of sucess but never give eBay a try so thought I would give it a go.
Thanks,so bank transfer before paypal if I'm lucky enough to sell.
Fraudsters round every corner.
Paypal will have a surcharge (think it's 3%) so either allow for that in your price/negotiations or get buyer to pay it.That's why I prefer bank transfer myself.
