I have a car I want to sell on ebay and wondered if anyone here has done it? I've been an ebay member since January 1999 and 95% of my activity is selling so I'm no stranger to listing stuff, I've just never auctioned a car before.
My question is how do you accept payment and not get burned. I get most of my payments through Paypal but what is to keep someone from "paying", picking up the car and then 45 days later disputing it through Paypal? At that point, they have the car and potentially the money. I want to sell it on ebay as I think I'll get a little more for it and selling on craigslist seems so sketchy these days. The car I'm wanting to sell is a 1970's exact "splash" of a Meyers Manx with an aftermarket tube frame. Titled in my name for the last 30 years and through a California certificate of sequence, currently non-oped. Any insight? TIA |

I bought my 914 on eBay. I had the seller send me the title before I made the final payment with a certified check. FYI. Good luck with the sale.

I certainly would have never done that as a seller...
Ebay is different than decades past - I have bought and sold a few cars over that span of time and everything has always gone well. Ask for the funds to be either wire or certified check - do NOT send the title before receiving payment in full + clearing. Most transactions of any large nature end up completing outside the realm and reach of ebay - which is preferred. T I bought my 914 on eBay.
