baron_ Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 Seems silly. What will ebay do? Whine and cry if you don't pay or get screwed? For me, ebay has been very little help when there's a dispute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 not a bike or car, but have sold some big stuff on Craigs List. I sell on there all the time. I find it's way better as it's cash in hand face to face. ...using ebay, or off of craigslist but using the ebay protection thing or whatever. i have been talking to people who are selling bikes, but they all want to use ebay "for our protection". i dont know much about this. any info would help.

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 I sold my bike on ebay. Difference with my sale was that I sold it to a guy I knew from another forum who lives in Indy and he wanted to use his credit card to buy it, so it was the easiest way. I just set up a buy it now and he went right to the auction and purchased it. Buying a car or bike on ebay would probably be something I wouldn't feel very comfortable doing. I'd probably get the seller's info and talk to them on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheetz31 Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 i hope to do face to face cash in hand. but i kept hearing from four different peopl with a bike im interested in that ther wanted to use ebay, so i was skeptical...thats why i came here.

badasskylark Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I've bought a Turbo Van, Suzuki Samurai, and a neon on ebay. I would prefer not to go through ebay just a cash deal cash and face to face. Id have to really really trust the seller. I bought a 92 Achieva SCX W41 on ebay in New york and flew to pick it up I would not have done that if I didnt see many pictures beforehand and a video of it running and driving, but If somthing would have went wrong I wouldnt expect ebay to do a thing. Basically ebay is just an added hassle to the buying/selling process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
