WHY SELL YOUR VEHICLE ON EBAY AND CRAIGSLIST?

eBay Motors, a specialty site within eBay, is the World’s largest Online--and one of the World’s largest offline--Automotive Marketplaces. It is consistently ranked the #1 Automotive site on the Internet by Nielsen / NetRatings, with more traffic than AutoTrader, MSN and Cars.com combined. eBay Motors has an average of over 12 million visitors every month, and more than ten million Vehicles have been sold on eBay Motors since April 2000. An Automobile sells on eBay Motors every 60 seconds. And although it is hard to believe, more Cars are sold on eBay Motors before 9:00 a.m. each day than an average Car Dealership sells all year!

With 41.4 million unique visitors/month, Craigslist is the larges free market online.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

Simply that your Car, Boat, RV, Airplane, or other Motor Vehicle will receive much more exposure to potential Buyers on eBay Motors and Craigslist fifth home than you would get if you sold it any other way. For example, 75% of all vehicles sold on eBay Motors and Craigslist are to out-of-state Buyers. Each vehicle listed on eBay Motors or Craigslist is seen by an average of 1,200 viewers, and receives an average of 8 unique bidders. More bidders means a higher selling price for you!

HOW WIDE Marine & Automotive HELPS YOU SELL YOUR VEHICLE ON EBAY MOTORS OR CRAIGSLIST?

Our comprehensive motor vehicle listing service gives you a live, professionally-created eBay Motors Auction that will bring interested Buyers to your listing. You then handle the rest of the transaction as a private vehicle sale.

  • Launching the Auction on eBay or Craigslist under your own eBay member ID
