Hello Fred and Carly;

Can I keep my listing Regionally specific for pick up or delivery by any means other than in the listing write-up?

Hi Bud,

Great question.

During the listing process, under the "Sell-to locations" select if you would like to show your listing outside Canada (check the box beside the country). Next, under the "Pick up and shipping", make sure you select the option " Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping".

If you would like to keep it more regional than that, yes, you would have to specify this in your listing.

Let me take a second to pass on some valuable tips from other successful vehicle sellers.

Title - at a minimum make sure to include the Year, Make and Model. If you still have space, use a descriptive hook to encourage the eBay audience to look at your listing.

Description - Put as much information in about the vehicle as possible (you have lots of space, so don't worry about running out!). Include features and options on the car, specify if you can provide a service history and any other important information that a buyer would want to know.

Pictures - Provide a total "walk-around" of the car. Take pictures of all sides, the drivers seat, dash board, odometer, rear seats, trunk and tires. Additionally, try to include pictures of any damage on the vehicle. This way, any potential buyers will have a much better idea of the vehicles condition. Basically, the more pictures the better.

One last note, make sure to wash the vehicle before taking any pictures

Hi Everyone,

A little known fact about buying a vehicle on eBay is that, eBay offers a Purchase Protection program that protects buyers up to $25,000. For full details please see the following link http://pages.ebay.ca/ebaymotors/help/education/buying/purchase-protection.html

Let me also take a second to pass on a few tips about buying.

Questions - Try and ask all your questions before bidding. Topics of questions you might want to ask include the history of the vehicle, where has the service been performed and why the seller is selling.

Pictures - make sure you review them. If you want additional pictures or pictures from different angles, makes sure to contact the seller.
