Last time I needed to sell a car I went via EBay
Sold first time but the buyer never bothered to get in contact with me (sold as an auction)
I then got in touch with the person who had the second highest bid against the car, he decided he wanted it, but couldn’t make his mind up when he wanted to collect (3 weeks passed with no firm commitment) so I relisted
I got a message around midday on a Saturday from a potential buyer – was I in and could he collect today
He came round that afternoon with a trailer and took the car away (car was a running MOT failure)
Once it had sold I got loads of messages ‘was it still available’, ‘I really wanted to buy your car’ etc. I have no idea why these people hadn’t bothered to get in touch earlier.
At the time (not sure if this still is the case) but if you sell on an auction via EBay for a car and the buyer doesn’t complete the transaction then you can’t reclaim the fees
