Default Lol really?

Saw this up forsale bout a month ago was going to go take a look, for daily driver. But it got removed. Then guess what relisted a few weeks later for £195 more. Has someone really bought this to resell for £195 more

After paying fuel to collect, then ebay fees £150?

Ebay fees would only be £15.
They probably bought it for less than the asking price at a guess

Good point, so lets say got £100 knocked off £250 profit, still seems alot of effort for small return, thats if he sells it for that price, might end up having to take £1600 which means £150 profit.

I imagine the first dealer couldn't sell it so traded it out to the second dealer who's now trying to sell it.
It happens alot between car dealers, some dealers will struggle with one car which another dealer will sell easier. So said cars get moved on for a small profit to another dealer.

Yeah, some people dont search for specific cars online and just go into their local dealer and see what they have.

Ebay fees are set at around £14.99 I believe for all car listings.

if it wasnt, it would be ten percent like most ebay category fees, making it as Jay predicted, around £150.

Its the only good deal ebay do lol

You don't get charged fees for car listings on eBay, it's just fixed price at £15 for 30 day classified add.

Nice edit trinity.

Also to add
If putting on auction, it's £10 to list and the 1% fee, min £25, max £35 in fees

Interesting, but the 2nd person doesn't look like a trader, just some randon person trying to resell cars.

I think he was making an observation that there was a lot of effort involved, but it is always good to keep an eye on dealers as we know too well from the likes of Clive and Cheshire Performance.

Yup, 100%. He has other cars forsale on ebay too.
Proper a 'part-time / hobby' trader though.
