What You Need To Know About Buying A Vehicle On Ebay And Shipping It Overseas

The Growing Popularity of Buying Cars Online

These days most Americans have bought items through the popular auction site eBay, and although it might sound risky an estimated 450,000 vehicles are sold per year on eBay Motors. They also have a very high satisfaction rate, especially with international buyers and sellers. In fact, international car buyers and sellers are the largest growing group of users on eBay Motors.

Many buyers are turning to eBay to purchase a car for a number of reasons. The selection is far greater than most dealerships, and you can also find phenomenal deals. Additionally, users do not have to worry about sneaky salesmen trying to get you to spend money on upgrades or features you do not even want. You can communicate directly with the car seller, with the knowledge that your transaction will be protected by eBay.

Conscious Buying

Although there are thousands of great deals and cars on eBay Motor, you should always use caution when making large purchases online. Buying a vehicle on eBay might seem intimidating at first, but as long as you are a conscious buyer you should be able to avoid any serious issues. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while you consider buying a vehicle on eBay.

1. Ask about the car’s history, some sellers may even provide you with a report on the vehicle containing information about its accident and damage history.

2. Use a fax machine to send agreements back and forth, with clear terms and legible signatures. Agreements made orally or via e-mail do not usually hold up as well in court, should you run into a problem with the vehicle.

3. Check the sellers’ ratings, all eBay sellers should have an average rating score, and a number for how many sales they have made during their time as an eBay seller. Never buy a car from some one with low ratings, or no sale history to speak of unless you have genuine evidence to back up the sellers’ statements.

4. Read, and re-read all documents pertaining to the vehicle sales to make sure there is no fine print that you accidentally missed before.

Make a List

Be sure to write a list of questions to ask the seller about the vehicle and its condition. Remember, since you cannot look under the hood of the car you are considering you want to find out the details about it before you buy it. If the seller is legitimate then they should have no problem answering all of your questions.

Shipping

It is important to note that although you can buy a car on eBay from anywhere in the world, there is no standard shipping charge for shipping a vehicle. Additionally, the shipping is usually your responsibility as a buyer. Luckily, there are many auto transporting companies that can help with the shipping of your new car.

Choosing a Transporter

Any qualified car shipping company will have experience shipping cars purchased on eBay. However, as with selecting a car to buy, you will want to use caution finding an auto transporter. Take the time to get quotes from multiple companies, and then research any you are considering before signing any agreements.

Keep the Seller in the Loop

While making arrangements to ship your vehicle, you will need to keep the eBay seller you are purchasing the car from in the loop. The auto transportation company may have some preparation standards and paperwork for the seller, and they may need to help coordinate a pick up or drop off of the vehicle.
