How Affective Is Ebay At Selling Car Parts?

[Kaido_RR]

Hi,

Im looking at putting some of my second hand and brand new parts for sale on ebay. but before i go ahead and do so i was wondering how affective it is? Some of my parts (the brand new ones) have RRP of over $500 which means ebay will take

5.25% of the initial AU$75.00 plus 2.75% of the remaining closing price (AU$75.01 to AU$1,000.00)

also if i set a buy now price ebay will also charge d something like $3.50.

Now i dont mind to pay those pricers if my items are going to sell but if they dont sell im going to start losing money (not alot but thats not the point)

So who here has sell items on ebay and how affective was it?

Thankyou Michael

ive sold a few things on ebay, but this was few years ago....im pretty sure if you dont sell, you dont pay?

those prices you got are for items sold, not items listed

nah you still pay, they give you a chance to put it up again, but after that you pay the full amount.

Ebay can be effective, but you still need to follow the normal basic rules of selling. Demand, is it a popular part that is going to create interst? if not dont waste your time, but car performance parts generally create alot on interest. Price, even though they are brand new, dont set the price high cause no one is going to pay rrp, and generally it has to be quite a bit cheaper than rrp because people take the postage cost into consideration, which most of the time is 20 bucks in itself. Try sticking them up on the forum first, but all in all, ebay isnt a bad tool
