does it annoy you when people bid before viewing and then complain when they come to look?
and then they weasel their way out of it?
This happened to my dad. He got really irritated about it. In the end, he got a better job and didn't have to sell the car. The guy that had snubbed him previously decided he now DID want the car, 3 months after saying it was rubbish and we wasted his time.
I answered the phone and told him where to stick it
yeah, it does my head in, Im just selling one now, but I'm gonna be annoyed if people all start bidding and then change their mind when they see it. Ive described it the best I can without going over the top. Im gonna just try and see how many people want to come see it, if someone wants it for the right price I'll sell it before the bidding ends, just dont want loads of people bidding and the winner backing out when I could of sold it to the next person!
I never use EBay to sell cars or buy them. There are much better ways online to sell or buy cars in my view.

If there were a cheaper alternative to Ebay.com and Amazon.com would you sell online?I've been using both Ebay and Amazon for several years now and have found the fees to be outlandish. This fees take a rather large chunk out of my profits! Does the fee structure of these two mega sites inhibit...
