Hell...it's basically the same price to list a vehicle on ebay as it is the local newspaper or auto trader and you get 1000 times the exposure....
Oh....and as far as actual auctions that have went the distance on ebay and have sold through the actual auction....as of 04-08, there have been over three million cars sold through ebay!....thats a big ass number!

Point taken!....Yes, it is great exposure!.....But they sell outside of Ebay for far far less than the reserve price is set for!!
3 million cars is a false number!....It isn't even that large when you compare it to how many listings have been placed on Ebay!....How many times have you heard someone complain that the buyer was a deadbeat, didn't show up, etc, even after it "sells"?!....
I found one of my trucks from a local advertisement!.....I got it at a way better deal than it would have been on Ebay!...
