Berkeley Motor ltd in Birmingham 55 berkley road east birmingham. The sellers are not genuine car sellers just sham. I brought a car this month with no service or no fsh part documents or given a receipt. The car was faulty eg the engine light came on and shaking when driving . The seller refused to take any liability of the fault or it is fit for purpose to drive. He suggest if car is brought sold as seen and refuse to exercise a buyers right to a refund , exchange or part refund under the 3 months warranty ( The Consumer Rights Act 2015) please DO NOT believe the sellers intentions are good eg ad “”YOU CAN BE SURE YOU'RE IN SAFE HANDS FROM START TO FINISH “. “ALL OUR CARS ARE READY TO DRIVE AWAY” This is just fake ploy to induce you to car that is not fit for purpose and sell as sold as seen. I reported to eBay but they refused to take any action or address the seller as fake and bring the advert into dispute with their advertising guidelines . Also the seller traders under 2 names.

they will outbid everyone and then when they turn up they try and knock you down

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, Renault, Peugeot, Toyota, Nissan, BMW, Audi and many more. Unlike ebay motors private sellers can sell there car for free on Autotrade-it and you can access a full directory of car dealers in the uk.

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 from a camera phone), and price wise all my auctions start at next to nothing with no reserve. This way, only 1 out of about 20 cars has not reached what I saw as a fair price (it was really worth a lot more, but as I say that was the only one I was disappointed in). Keep it honest, look out for the obvious scammers and all should go well.
As far as buying goes, 65% of the cars I've won the bidding on have been great - as described or even better, genuine cars and decent, honest sellers. These have pretty much all been a real bargain too, winning the bidding for a lot less than the average Auto trader asking prices. However this leaves 35% of cars I've won the bidding on which have been a problem one way or another. Mostly, I've traveled to collect the car, only to discover that a sparsely detailed advert was for a reason - the seller didn't have anything good to say about the car they were selling. I look at it that significant information being withheld from the description still deems the car as 'not as described'. All the ones like this I've simply told the seller I'm not willing to complete the purchase on these grounds, and every time if they had been honest about the car, it wouldn't ave made the money it did in the auction. More worryingly, quite a number I've won the bidding on have come up as having been written off previously in their lives - none of them stated this in their adverts. Again, on discovering this I simply contacted the seller and explained I was not willing to go through with the sale. All denied knowledge of the writing off. So, make sure you HPI check car you 'win'.
Finally, people stating in their adverts 'if you win the bid, you win the car no excuses' and such like... rubbish. They cannot re-write the sale of goods act or E-bay rules. You are obliged to purchase the car ONLY if it is 'as described'. When I sell, I state on my ads that if the car is not as described, the winning bidder should walk away and I'll be perfectly happy for them to do so. Any truly honest seller should feel the same.

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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 buying) experience it's cracked up to be.
I ended up selling my car on Auto Trader's website, which incidently is very good!
