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 |

Require small deposit via PayPal (state non-refundable) with remainder of payment via money order, cash, certified check...and hold the title until payments are final.

I've seen auctions that required a deposit that was non-refundable but does that hold up with Paypal? In other words, if I state in the auction that the deposit is non-refundable would paypal deny a claim based on that? |

So did you just state in the auction that it was non-refundable or is there and ebay or Paypal "setting" for that? Thanks again. EDIT: I am going to fully disclose the issues with the car so as long as the buyer isn't a dirtbag it should be all legit |
