I've sold several cars on ebay. Fees are high, and they're based in part on the final sale price. Expect the fees to be between $100 and $200. That said, you'll get top dollar on ebay, and don't have to deal with hagglers, tire-kickers, and joy-riding teenagers. The down side is dealing with a flaky buyer. Sometimes people will bid and win, but then change their mind or not have the means to pay. Now you're stuck with sales fees for something that didn't actually sell. (Ebay won't give you a full refund- they'll give you a partial refund, and only as an ebay credit, not actual cash refund).

To secure a high sale price, take lots of photos. Lots. From all different angles. These need to be good quality, properly focused photos with a real camera. Not blurry crap camera phone pics. Also offer to pick the winning bidder up from the local airport. Also, write up a detailed comprehensive description of the car and its major components, noting any major recent repairs or service.

As for payment, you can require a deposit ($250 or $500 or some such) via paypal at the end of the auction. The rest is paid by the buyer at pick up time. Unless they are paying in cash, do NOT give them the title when they pick the car up! Give them a signed notarized bill of sale, and a COPY of the title. Fedex the original title to them only after the check clears the bank. (Cashiers checks and money orders are too easy to forge these days). Spell everything out, all the details of the deal with the winner ahead of time, so there's no surprises or missed expectations. This is how I've always done it, and never had a problem.

Good luck
