You could be just unlucky or maybe time of year? If you post some details of the car you'll probably get a few opinions back

when l sell on ebay or autotrader (internet one) you have to have better ad than anyone else , ie loads of pictures , different colour text and so on , u have to stand out

only pay for one picture on ebay and the rest insert img links from imageshack or the same as

There are members here in the trade. You would be better to post an example of your ads and get an informed opinion on where you might be going wrong.

Autoexpress done a sell your car article last week. I think eBay came out quite well.

I believe they take 1% commission.

[oneman]

You say you had it listed on ebay, did you have any bids on it at all ?

What make, model, trim, year, mileage, condition is it in. I'll try and get you a CAP price on it.

Sorry, also need to know
- engine size
- fuel type (petrol or diesel)
- auto or manual
- and also Climate came in Style and Zetec trim.
- 56, 07 or 57 plate ?


Just to give you a rough idea. 1.4 Petrol Zetec Climate, 3 door. 07 plate with 59k on clock. In clean condition, dealer buying price is £2,575 and sell at £3,825. Obviously private prices will vary.

For Climate (No front fog lights). Forecourt Price / Buying Price
3 door 3695/2475
5 door 3950/2700

Zetec (With front fog lights)
3 door 3825/2575
5 door 4095/2800


As a rough guide, I would expect private sale to be around 10% to 15% lower compared to dealer prices.

As mentioned, location makes a difference and tbh the run up to xmas is not ideal as people make fewer car purchases. I would suggest stick with it, it may take a couple of weeks but it should eventually go.

If you are desperate, you can always try the 'we buy any car' bunch but beware, though they offer you a reasonable price online when you go to drop it off they suddenly start finding faults to knock the price down.

£1,500. They taking the p**s. They should know the real book value as they use CAP like most of the industry.
