eBay Experts / Selling a motorcycle
I have bought and sold a bunch of items over 12 years on eBay but never anything like a car or a motorcycle. I have heard of the pitfalls of where someone lists a vehicle and then the buyer never pays and they have to start all over again.
So I am looking to the PY eBay experts to help me out a little to see if eBay is the way to go for selling a motorcycle I have. The bike I have is one I bought new in 1999 and is still in great shape today. I am struggling with selling on eBay because of the fees and not knowing what they will be. The flip-side is that it seems that there is more exposure rather than going to CL and there are zero flunkies showing up needing a "test ride" potentially running off with the bike or worse wrecking it. If you have some advice I would love to hear it.

I seldom look at or buy off of eBay any more. My company had 35,000 feed backs at one time and eBay made it all about the fees and let the Chinese list things that were misdescribed.
I'd put it on Craigslist myself. You control any rides. Personally they'd have to give me the money before they got on it.

Between eBay fees, Paypal fees and Paypal buyers' bias (too often sales are reversed over non-issues when the real issue is buyer's remorse), eBay is a losing proposition for sellers. You are better off using Craig's list.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
