Selling via eBay vs Autotrader, what do you think?

eidolon · 2 Oct 2013 at 13:17

I've just bought myself a Street Triple so my FZ6 is going up for sale.

eBay has a £10 listing fee, £20 final sale price plus another £7.99 if I set a reserve whereas Autotrader is £29.99 for 3 weeks.

Which do you think is the most likely road to a successful sale?

This time of year i don't think it matters tbh, tho ide be inclined to skip AT in favour of MCN as the last time i used them it was £20 for six weeks, as opposed to AT's 3 weeks for more money.

I would go for MCN and Pistonheads first.

I wouldn't sell a bike on ebay, i'd use MCN

I put it on eBay yesterday and it sold within 24hrs so I can't complain about that.

Did you put it on as a classified or an auction? Need to sell my SV650 sometime soon, as it's been replaced by a 749.

Classified with best offer. Got what I wanted for it so I'm happy

Personally, I've never looked for a bike on eBay, I'd much rather shop at somewhere like AT or MCN, but glad to hear you got it sold!

The last 3 bikes and last 2 cars I've sold through ebay. No hassle and was cheap.
