How do you sell a car on eBay?

Once you have chosen an item that you want to sell, check out what similar items have sold for recently by using the "completed listings" search feature.

This will give you an idea of how much you item might sell for or even if it might sell at all.

If you then decide to go ahead and create your listing (which is what they call writing your ad) take a very clear photo of the item and either save it to your computer or upload it to a host.

Log into eBay and select the "sell" tab and then use either the quick sell form or the advanced sell your item form. Write your listing (or "ad") and upload the photo or photos of your item.

You can preview your listing to make sure that you are happy with it. If it doesn't look quite right go back and edit it.

When you are sure that it is just as you want you will be shown the insertion fee for you listing. If you are still happy with things so far you can upload the listing and it will go live - this can happen within few minutes or it can take around 24 hours for designer items.

When the auction has ended (or your buyer has hit the Buy It Now button), they will pay you and you need to ship the item to them.
