Promoting car sales on eBay is really paying off!

    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... :p

    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.

    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.

    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.
