HI all,

I am auctioning my deliver position on ebay. This is the second time around for this. No matter how I word the ad, everyone expects me to sell them the car for the bid amount, like $1000.

So I'm asking if you all would read the auction and tell me what is so confusing! I would greatly appreciate it!

ebay Item # 1834022354

Thanks so much.

PS, If you want the postition, just let me know. No markup, just recover my deposit.

 

I guess it sounds good, other than you giving up the car. The picture might throw some people. You may want to explain that.

 

I'd recommend you change the title of the auction to CLEARLY state that they are not bidding on the car, but the deposit.
Right now, based on the title alone (which is the first thing people will see, thus scewing their judgement), people will think it's the actual car. Maybe something like "2003 350z - Take Over my Pre-Order Deposit"

Also, like someone else suggested, change the image to a scan of your receipt, not a picture of the car. That's going to confuse people too. Include a link to some of the picture galleries on line, but no actual photos. It may not be as sexy but it's a more accurate representation of what they are physically bidding on.

 

Might want to post a date range....like August to October. Doubt anyone will see a Z in their driveway in August.

 

Thanks all, (and to all who will continue to make suggestions).

As I have received a bid, ebay will not allow any changes but if I run it a third time, all the above will be incorporated.

Thanks again.

 

What happened with the first one? Was your reserve not met or what?

 

You may want to mimic your language similar to this one posted on Ebay. This sellergot $6100. for his $1000 deposit. The auction has been closed so you need to go to auctions ended under 350Z .. Item # 1833432503. Good Luck.
