Actually in ebay.motors it says
Free to list your vehicle*

• List up to 4 vehicles with no Insertion Fees
• Only pay $125 if you're successful
• Turn your car into cash

* Excluding feature fees

Insertion Fees Cut Dramatically

eBay Motors is eliminating Insertion Fees on the first four vehicles you list in a 12 month period. For a car or truck, this amounts to an upfront savings of $40 per listing compared with the old pricing plan. Starting with the fifth vehicle you list, the Insertion Fee is $20 (a savings of 50% compared with the old plan).

After 12 months, the counter resets and you get another four vehicle listings with zero Insertion Fees.


Only Pay if You Are Successful

A successful listing is defined as any one of the following:

• The listing ends with a bid greater than reserve
• A bid is placed on a no reserve auction-style listing
• A buyer clicks and confirms the Buy-it-Now button
• The seller accepts a submitted Best Offer

When one of these events occurs, eBay will charge the seller a Successful Listing Fee. In short, we only succeed when you succeed.

Also note, the Successful Listing Fee varies with the type of vehicle. Like the Insertion Fee, the amount charged depends on how many vehicles you list in a 12-month period. For example, with Cars & Trucks, the Successful Listing Fee on the first four vehicles is $125. After the first four listings, the fee drops to $100.


$0.15 is for other things . . . not cars . . .

So it looks like you can still get charged if a deadbeat backs out of the deal after winning.

Yup! that's the way ebay makes money!


I'll pass on the "Valuable Rare 300" and let someone else scoop it up!

I just looked at a very nice 79 300CD. I was getting very excited when I rolled up, but I could see light through the floor on the driver side. Deal breaker............No matter how good the rest was, its not worth $500 he was asking to me. as a parts car maybe, but who has time to part a whole car just to get my $500 back?

2001 Schwinn Grape Krate 10spd (if all else fails)

I dont know what you guys are *****ing about, If that car was closer I'd gladly pay the current price for it. $800... It has euro lights on it worth about 200, plus its apparenlty rust free. Sure it needs some work but heck we are all about projects on this forum. Restored it could be worth 4.5K.

Actually 3 people bid 11 times! an actual bidding war!

Second that.
It's impossible to judge from the pics what condition that car is in. If the mechanicals are good and body has no rust it would be a good project. Bet even that paint would look nice with a little buffing, appears just dirty and a bit dull.
