Just sold the Omega on eBay this weekend - it must have been the most hassle free and quickest transaction I've ever had; The auction finished late on Sunday night and by the time I got around to checking my mail at around 7:30 on Monday
morning the winning bidder had already paid and he hadn't even seen the car! Came and picked the car up last night, less than 24hrs after the end of the auction.
As a certain CC company might say .......
"1 1994 Vauxhall Omega Elite 3.0 auto saloon with 120K, new MOT and 2 months tax - £1200. A hassle free sale with payment and collection within 24hrs, priceless."

Not a consideration from your point of view - but you've got to wonder about someone who'll pay out over a grand for something they've never even seen.

I sold a 3ltr Omega Elite on Ebay a few months ago, got £710 for it, now bearing in mind it had 150k on the clock, needed a new heater matrix, Aircon recharging and the head gasket had just gone I think we got a good price for it.

I can beat that.
Posted listing at 6.30pm Friday; sold on 'Buy it Now' by 10.30pm. Buyer turns up on Saturday (from 150 miles away) to collect. It was a nice Merc and he was well pleased.

Careful. If he paid by Paypal then you are required to have - as a term of Paypal use - a track & trace number checkable online for the delivery service used. Personal collection does not allow for that. If you are unable to provide the track & trace reference, I understand that Paypal will make an automatic chargeback. No doubt this would constitute fraud, but do you want that sort of faff?
This is a frequent topic of conversation on the eBay chat boards.
Never ever accept paypal payment for personal collection.

Never ever use PayPal, it's an unnecessary rip-off. Cash on collection or BACS transfer - both free and more 'concrete'.
|
Careful! BACS transactions, like credit & debit cards have an indemnity so can be recalled at any time after the transaction up to, I think, 6 months.
Arrange cash and meet at your local bank and get them to pay the cash into your account so the bank can verify the notes.
A lot of faffing about but better saf than sorry especially where a couple of grand is concerned!
