Most would agree the best way to list a vehicle on eBay is on a Classified ad format.  The fee is a non refundable listing fee of £19.99 payable sale or no sale, and charged the second the item goes live.

 

Here's all you need to know about Selling with classified ads: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/listings/listing-tips/selling-classified-ads?id=4167&st=12&pos=1...

 

Use a laptop / PC and Chrome works well with eBay.

 

One tip , when making the listing check and double check all details / photos are correct.  Once it goes live,  it cannot be corrected or revised.

Classified ads on ebay are considered best (and cheapest) for vehicles.   It costs £19.99 flat fee and eliminates timewasters because you don't end it until the deal is done.   More info here:

You can only put contact in for classified ads.

If auction or BIN, you can't allow viewings.
