eBay Motors, a speciality site within eBay, is the World's largest Online - and one of the World's largest Offline - Automotive Marketplaces. It is consistently ranked the #1 Automotive site on the Internet by Nielsen / Net Ratings, with more traffic than Autotrader, MSN and Cars.com combined. eBay Motors has an average of over 12 milion visitors every month and more than one milion vehicles has been sold on eBay Motors since April 2000. A vehicle is sold on eBay Motors every 60 seconds. And altough it is hard to believe, more cars are sold on eBay Motors before 09:00 AM each day than an average Car Dealership sells all year.
That goes for Craiglist too. With 41.4 Million unique visitors/month, Craiglist is the largest free online market
What does this mean to You? Simply that Your Car, Boat, RV, Airplane, or other Motor Vehicle will receive much more exposure to potential Buyers on eBay Motors and Craigslist than You would get if You sold it any other way. For example, 75% of all vehicles sold on eBay Motors and Craigslist are to out-of-state Buyers. Each vehicle listed on eBay Motors or Craigslist is seen by an average of 1,200 viewers and receives an average of 8 unique bidders. More bidders means a higher selling price for You!
In many States only a licensed Motor Vehicle Dealer can sell a motor vehicle for You, so in select States or Cities we handle registered motor vehicles differently from other vehicles that we sell for our Customers.
Our comprehensive motor vehicle listing service gives You a live, professionally-created eBay Motors Auction that will bring interested Buyers to Your listing. You then handle the rest of the transaction as a private vehicle sale.
