I forgot to mention that I did sell my wifes Saturn on Craigslist for $1000 more than we thought we were going to get. We put it on at 10pm on a Friday for a way higher price than we really expected to get. Some guy bought on Saturday for our asking price. We had two others say they were going to come over on Sunday. Pretty cool.

The listing fees and selling fees will add up quick on high dollar vehicles, then throw in PayPal fees :220v:

I can't access Ebay from work, but they explain it all on their web site. I can ck when I get home after 7pm AZ time or you can take a look. Theres a listing fee that is a % of the starting bid price plus how ever you set up your Auction. Then if you have a reserve price there is a charge for that. Then if it sells they get a % of that also. And if the winner pays by PayPal, then PayPal takes there cut also. :)

Well I just tried to post it on the classified section. I paid for the add, now it tells me i didnt. Although, they sent me a thank you for buying e-mail. Am i just stupid or am I missing something? Hell I cannot even figure out how to put a picture on my signature on the posts.

I take it this will be your first time using e bay.
That means you will have a zero feeback rating. I don't know if I'd bid on a big ticket item from a seller with no feedback.
just something to think about.
