Like I said I dont think it was a bad idea. Just impossible to police.

....I think you are the only guy (so far) who doesn't think it's not such a good idea. :happy2:

I dont think its a bad idea, but like others have said impossible to police, seller could sell for £50 and state £75 as sold price if he wanted :grin:
Regards Fee-pay I sell on there regularly and the fees that they charge and paypal charge are simply added to my selling price, if people are stupid enough to buy from Ebay and pay them 15% more rather than buy at 15% less from a direct website who am I to stop them (More money than sense), for me Ebay is a way of introducing new buyers to our website, once they bought once they get told about the website and the price difference and most buy from there instead (you always get some idiots who prefer to buy from ebay as they think Ebay offer them "Protection" which they dont, its only paypal that do that and our website only accepts paypal anyway!!
Regarding sales on forums, I find its exactly the opposite as someone else stated. I list things for a fair price and they dont sell on forums (not meaning this forum as not sold on here before), then you get sick of either no offers or people low-balling you so you stick it on Ebay for 15-20% more and it sells within a few days :happy2:.
Had an item for sale on 2 forums for 2 weeks at £55 shipped and had several offers of £30-35 shipped which I was not going to entertain, so after 2 weeks stuck it on Ebay at £75 shipped and it sold within 6 hours :signLOL:
Yes Ebay/paypal charge a lot (15% in total unless you have a 25% discount for volume sales) but they have Ten's of Millions of buyers rather than a few thousand members :happy2:
I still offer stuff for sale on forums on the off chance, but they account for about 0.5%

If I can, I much prefer to sell on here than I would on The Devil's Junkyard of feeBay - I like to feel that goods are going onto cars which are appreciated and that it contributes (not financially) to the benefit of members of this community.
Andy:
think the idea was a good one but sellers and buyers like myself want to keep the transaction private :happy2:
RedRobin:
^^^^
I guess that I'm someone who favours more transparency. I don't feel the need for transaction privacy in the context of buying and selling car stuff. But, as ever, ETTO :happy2:
wigit:
i think i is fairly obvious on this forum something is priced too high as it simply does not sell very quickly
for me going down the road of but so and so sold his for XX blah blah blah is just a backward step given circumstances come into the sale
for me the price agreed for items remains the business of the seller and purchaser
