Answer 1

http://www.ebay.com/

Go there, and register with them.  Once you have your account, read up on the FAQ and just watch a while.  They also have a live chat if you have questions.

Be very careful buying a car you haven't seen.

Answer 2

You cannot trust.  Only 30% of cars bought on e-bay ever get delivered as buyer backs out or tries to negociate the price after he already made bid/offer.

Answer 3

ebay  is easy to use u find items you like bid or just can buy them. but some items cant be trusted some items that come from  Thailand, because there are some pirated merchandise from there. are car on ebay may not be the best choice because you never know what you getting until you get a test drive and get behind the wheel and know how it runs. you have to win the bid to get the car.  if you do decide your making a good deal then wait to the last minute to bid, so you get the last possible second to bid. you will get it on your credit card bill, but i dont know how you would get your car cuz obviously it cant be mailed. hope i helped!

message me if it works or doesn't

Answer 4

I can  only tell you about  things  Ive  bought,  coins  and  clothing.  BUT  I saw  court  case  of  a  car.  When  persons  went  pick it up it  ad  more  damamge that  was  not  in photos and  they were  suing  to get  money back or  some  money back.  I think they lost  due to how it was  described in ad.   So  take that in consideration. At some  point you would  need  meet  with  the  persons  to do paper transfer  of  title.   I  would  also contact  EBAY directly for  more info about this.  There is  a  live chat  link with E bay

Answer 5

Look this same car up on autotrader.com.

I don't trust EBay with high ticket items.

A lot of the cars on EBay are from dealers.

Just find the dealer or a better one and deal face to face.

Answer 6

Only buy cars on EBay that are from sellers with very high or perfect feedback ratings. I would not buy from people that have new accounts, poor feedback or no feedback.

The ad for the car you are bidding on should tell you how the seller expects to be paid. If it does not you can send them an email and ask them. Often people will ask for a deposit shortly after the auction ends and payment in full within a certain amount of time.

For instance one car I sold the guy paid a couple of hundred $$ to me on PayPal as a deposit then mailed me a Certified check. Since the check was from an out of state bank it took a couple of days to clear my account so I did not release the title (or car) until it had. On another car the person wired the total amount for the car directly to my bank account.

If the car isn't local to you then you might need to arrange for shipping so plan for the cost of that also.

Sometimes you might  find cars that are in your area.You can contact the seller to see if you can look at them during the auction to see if you like them. Some sellers will allow this others will not. If they are legit they should have no problem with you doing this.

Also some cars are listed that do not sell. I have contacted sellers after auctions like this and purchased the cars.

Answer 7

I would not bid on a car until I meet the car and the buyer
