    EBAY Advice please.

    Hello.

    I'm selling one of my cars on Ebay and i've mentioned in the description that it's advertised outside of ebay so may be removed at any time etc. Trouble is, if I do sell it before the auction's over I haven't got a clue how to pull the Ebay Ad!

    Its pretty easy, you need to end auction early...
    if there are bids, you need to cancel these first...It will appear clear once you start the process...
    It is easy enough to find.......
    in your 'My Ebay' look to the far right of your listing where you sell it... there is a drop down menu where you can select 'end item' (just to the right of 'time left')
    click this and follow the instructions....

        I sell a lot of stuff on eBay and find the best way to sell high value items such as cars ect is to list the item as buy it now or best offer. All you have to do is set the buy it now price at a level you are happy with and let people make offers. If you don't like the offer tell them to get lost. It cost's less than setting a reserve And I have had a lot of success in getting decent price's for stuff this way

          True, but selling cars in particular on the bay opens you up for timewasters and bad feedback on the smallest thing... also imagine the seller fees, especially if paypal payment...
          Best to use ebay as a marketing tool, and sell outside ebay...
          IMHO

            Good point. I aways avoid Paypal on any thing over £50. If you do sell that way go for cash on collection. And try and talk to buyer's on the phone first to get the measure of them, there are a lot of dreamers and muppet's on eBay.

              As a big fan of Kermit, I resent the way your remark implies that fuzzy felt creatures are in some way dishonest and/or unreliable. This attitude is just the kind of thing that builds prejudice against old socks that have been converted into puppets!

                Put your phone number on the listing and you will get enquiries and the chance to sell direct.
