Well, actually it's not paying off at all. I just 'sold' another car via CJ/eBay, and it's yet another bomb - I think I need to target a different class of consumer... ---- 1976 Holden Torana Sale price $AUD 2000. Commission $Priceless (only $10!)
Yes, i have experienced that too. Sold about two cars but only about $37 of commission. They are probably basing our commission on the reservation price and not the car price.
i think car auctions are done different I think people pay a fixed price no matter what the car is, or something like that
Yeah, I can't be bothered to look it up - but I'm pretty sure the commission payouts are calculated differently. So you get a better commission if you sell a $5000 pair of socks, than a $5000 car.
haha yeah thats true. I think the same goes for machinery as well. Need to find that $5000 sock niche now!!
There's this - http://affiliates.ebay.com/ns/Payout.htm Which is about as much help as a pair of $5K socks
eBay charges a flat $80 to list a car, so your commission is limited by that. Even if a person buys some listing options I wouldn't expect to see commissions for more that $50ish off of a car sale.
I just made a huge commission off of a John Deere vehicle. Woot http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sid=m37&satitle=260186664371&category0=&fvi=1
eBay Motors: http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/motorfees.html Initially you'll get 50% of the fees listed there, but you can end up with 55%, 60% or higher depending on your monthly revenue tier.
Actually it would be about the same because $5000 is the break point - if the car sells for more, then you lose out when compared to regular items, but if the car sells for less, then you're ahead. Example: I got a $45 commission on the sale of a $600 Oldsmobile rat rod.
