Autotrade-it like ebay motors is getting more popular and everytime i search the site there seems to be more choice than previously before. The information available is sufficient and i believe ebay motors in time will be one of the biggest searh portals for used cars. www.autotrade-it.co.uk have unbeatable prices on used cars from traders, dealers and private sellers from all over the UK. It lists car dealers from all over the country and cars for sale from all manufacturers including Ford,... (read more)

I have used E-bay quite extensively for buying and selling cars over a number of years. I'm not a dealer, just a private enthusiast. I have to say on the selling side of things, it has been very successful indeed; Huge amounts of exposure over the whole country. I've had people travel a long way to collect cars. I've found the way you sell on E-bay is very important to the end result - the best for me has been making sure you have a very detailed and honest description, excellent photos (NOT... (read more)

Whilst we did sell our motorhome under classified ads fairly quickly, the actual site is terrible to use, and I don't understand why it's so popular. (read more)

I bought my BMW off Ebay Motors a few months ago. I was happy because I found a 1 Series Beemer available froma seller across town.
I like the layout of Ebay Motors. I've used some other ebay sites for buying things like a nintendo wii and a digital camera, so I understood the layout OK enough.
I'd recommend the site and will go back.

I've been using eBay Motors for a while now. Mostly I use it to look for car accessories, like sat navs or car stereos.
Searching can take a but of time, which can be really annoying. But with the amount of money people spend on cars and mods, I guess you'll be prepared to take the time finding what you need.

Whenever I go on the Internet, I think I will see what's on Ebay Motors UK, but after 5 minutes, I've had enough as I cannot get the search to pinpoint what I want. I'm fed up of spending hours trying to find one car. I race cars for a hobby, so Ebay could have a great deal of commission from me (as in this sport, you total a few cars) but their web page setup just means you can't find anything. (read more)

I used Ebay motors once and paid lots of money to advertise my car for 10 days only! It was a horrible experience from the begining to end. I found Super Auctions and sold my car within 2 days. Free car listings and great looking website. I think Ebay has lots to learn from them (read more)

Written on: 10/02/2006 by goldthorp
I have bought and sold cars on Ebay Motors UK. Buying I have always got in touch with the seller and actually gone and viewed the car first. Selling, sold one within 24hours on a sensible 'buy it now' price. Another didn't sell on the site, but the eventual buyer had seen it advertised on ebay.
I don't find navigation around the site a problem.

“Personally I wouldn't advertise another car with Ebay...”
Written on: 12/11/2004 by Cockneywolfe (1 review written)
Personally I wouldn't advertise another car with Ebay Motors UK. The process of placing an ad was long and complicated (especially for the first-timer) and many 'buyers' were unwilling to bid as I was a first time seller. This kind of snobbery isn't very helpful.
Their customer support is slow and it is impossible to talk to someone on the helpdesk. Their 'contact form' is not at all intuitive as you need to select your comments from a series of menus.
Overall, it's not the selling (or...

Pilotx's Response to pilotx's Review
Written on: 17/12/2008
Just a quick addition to my above comments; I believe the sale of goods act only applies if you buy the car from trade. However, if bought privately, trading standards say this:<br/>
Private sales... There are some situations where your legal rights will be reduced. The general rule is ' let the buyer beware 'when you buy from a private individual. It is up to you to find out whether the car is of satisfactory quality, to make your own checks on what you are told and to take responsibility for your choice, as the seller is not liable for the satisfactory quality of the vehicle. You are still entitled, however, to expect the car to be ' as described ' . If the advertisement says ' 2000 Ford Focus 'or ' excellent condition 'then it should be exactly that. It is important to remember that it may be much more difficult for you to enforce your rights against a private individual.<br/>
Whether you buy privately or from a motor trader, you are entitled to expect that the car is roadworthy when you buy it, unless you and the seller clearly agree it is to be sold as scrap. You should take note that a car sold with an MOT Certificate does not necessarily mean that it is roadworthy.<br/>
Hence, again I stress, if a seller describes their car in a particular way, please do check it when you go to collect the car - The words 'you bid your buy' in any seller's advert means nothing to me. If it is not 'as described', regardless of whether or not I viewed the car before the end of the auction, I wouldn't buy the car.
