Used Autos Services

Used autos

Used autos auctions can last 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. Bidding automatically ends when the auction does. The high bidder and seller should contact each other within 3 business days of the end of the used autos auction. It's a good idea to check your email or phone regularly after the auction. If you're the high bidder, and the seller can't reach you within this time, he or she may contact the next-highest bidder and sell the item to that person.

Contact the seller

You will receive an email notice at the end of the used autos auction if you are the high bidder. This email contains the final price of the item (not including any shipping charges) and contact information for the winning seller. You should try to contact the seller within 3 days. Just click on the "Ask seller a question" link on the item page to create an email.

How do you pay?

Buyers pay the seller the final price of the used autos auction, along with other specified payment terms (such as shipping). You do not pay eBay.

Payment

Some sellers require a small deposit from the high bidder soon after the close of the used autos auction. Check the item description for payment terms. Most sellers will expect payment in full before they will sign over the title. Be prepared to pay the seller by the method they have specified. If you are not sure, contact the seller.

If there is a lien on the vehicle or you will be using a loan to pay, the finance companies involved may have special requirements. Ask your finance company about these details, and check with the seller about theirs.

You can avoid the hassle and inconvenience of title transfer and vehicle registration by using escrow services.

 

Title Transfer and Vehicle Registration

When you pay in full for the vehicle, the seller should sign the vehicle title over to you. The vehicle title is the official document of ownership. This process varies from state to state.

Or you can contact the Motor Vehicle department in your state for instructions for the private sale of vehicles, including the process for title transfer and taxes.

Leaving feedback

Leaving feedback for the seller after the transaction is an important way to help other community members learn about the seller. If you have had a good experience, or a bad one, take a minute to leave your comment. The easiest way to leave feedback for a seller is to go to the item page for the ended used autos auction and click on the leave feedback link.

Used autos

So you decided to buy a car and went on on-line used autos auctions, for example eBay Motors. With a variety of items listed for sale on eBay you will most likely find something suitable. Maybe you will see a picture with the car of your dream (or at least maybe it is the dream of your wallet :). But something keeps worrying you - is it as well technically as it is visually, or even is it actually the picture of the car being sold? What is the technical condition of this vehicle?




Auto technical condition

So, what would you do without various services available on eBay Motors used autos auctions? Trust your luck? This is not the way to go in my opinion. There are several services there, which can deliver you complete information about auto you choose. When putting up a used auto for sale, a seller often uses a special service, performing comprehensive car inspection for mechanical condition and cosmetic appearance. Inspection Report includes up to 135 points, they will study all the guts of the car to make buyer confident in what they buy. And for your convenience those cars, which passed the inspection, are distinguished from the list with a special icon.

On the other hand if nothing with the icon appeals you, you may want to know better about the history of the car you plan to buy. Millions of used car may have billions of hidden problems. You may be interested in the matters like salvage history, odometer fraud, multiple owners, flood damage, major accident damage, fire damage - It isn't free but it may very well save you more money. This lemon check can be performed at your desire. eBay Motors doesn't directly guarantee the reliability of those services information, but, nevertheless, my experience says that some information is usually better than no information.

Listing Services

To make it easier for a seller to place an auto for sale there are listing services on eBay Motors used autos auctions. They do not directly involve you if you're a buyer but I think it's useful to give a clue about them anyway. If you're actually a buyer just pretend you're a seller for this paragraph :). It works the following way: you fill the registration form, where you provide detailed information about the car you wish to sell. After that, service experts can ask you additional questions via email or phone. Also you need to send one or several photos of your car via email. Then the service will help you to determine optimal price of your auto. The best part of it is the fact that the service takes all the responsibility for placing your car on Ebay Motors used autos auctions, and moreover at another specific showrooms to increase the probability of finding a buyer. Now turn back into buyer as I will give you a practical advice: if you have a choice - choose a car which went through listing service because it indicates that seller really takes care about his deal and usually means more reliable deal.

Escrow services

You make a bid, and if you're lucky or stubborn enough you win the used autos auction. But for the car to become all yours you need at least transfer money to a seller. Otherwise - no sale (actually, there will be a sale, and most likely to the next highest bidder after you, who was wiser to think about payment in advance). To make money matters easier and both sides less nervous about the result, there're on-line payments systems and escrow services. It is your guarantee to receive a car you paid for and seller's guarantee that he will get his money (I'm not talking about you personally but there're a lot of frauds surfing the net).

Here's where escrow services come into action. After you have won the used autos auction, you pay to the escrow service. They will notify a seller about the fact of your payment and then a seller sends you a car. Car receipt is controlled by the escrow as well. You have several days to test your newly bought auto. If it doesn't comply to the description claimed during sale, and you are lucky enough to discover it in time you can cancel the deal. Only after your acceptance, which you make public for the escrow service, money is sent to a seller.
