Default ebay or autotrader?

if you were going to sell your car, which would you use.

i've used autotrader for my grandpas car and didnt have much success but i dont think there is a high demand for Buick Roadmasters... i have to think that something like say, an integra, might have better luck...

never used ebay...

I sold my '99 Mustang GT on ebay. Both are pretty easy to work with. I think Auto Trader is cheaper though.

Putting an Integra on eBay will just be hassles. Youngins will probably bid then back out.

Go with Autotrader and save yourself money (eBay takes close to $60 to post a car there).

$40 to list $40 if purchased. Thats what it was when I sold mine. I needed a quick sell though and ebay was the best place to do that.

When I posted my mother's car for sale on eBay and it didn't sell, eBay was still coming around trying to get the money for the 2nd fee.

I just hate the amount of "dead-beat" bidders eBay is riddled with. Then when you do report them, eBay does nothing.
