If it doesn't sell then I think you can list it again for free. |

Have you ever typed in "Ferrari" on ebay's home page? Millions of listings! People will go where they know they can find things. I do a search first on the home page and look for what is ending within the hour. Then I go to ebay motors and look and the same ending first page. Then I check "newly listed" That way I don't miss anything. People will bid. All my stuff sells every week! |

I understand that but I am just worried that I listed it wrong. I sold my '69 Camaro last year and if you typed in Camaro in the home page search box and it wouldn't come up. The only way I could find it was going into ebay motors and searching for it there. I don't know maybe I should just wait and see. Also I can't type in the link in websites because I am a business and websites don't like that kind of posts. Thanks everyone. |

Yes, Bob is right. Real bidders wait for the last minute. Alot of time the heading is important also. Be specific but be general at the same time...if that makes any sense. |

Jason, be patient. Real eBayers don't bid until 30 seconds before the item closes. You're nuts if you run up the bidding with 4 days to go on eBay. Oops, did I just give all my eBay secrets away?

My two big eBay rules: 1. Post a photo of the ACTUAL item for sale, not an official factory photo or a picture of a similar item 2. Start with a ridiculously LOW price to attract a lot of eyeballs. It will always get bid up to market value. As far as attracting eyeballs, parts like these will not attract that many, as there is a very limited target market (how many 360's are sold here each year? Without challenge grills?). Just be patient. It will sell... some people also wait to the very last minute to bid. Ernesto |

Well you have to take into account that a ride in an F-50 is going to attract alot of lookers just to see the details. It's a pretty unique thing to bid on plus several sites have posted links to it having people just check it out. Where do you have it listed at? If I were you I would go to several different web sites and put a note linking it to your auction. Like I said most of the people were probably just seeing what all the commotion was about it. If I had a 360 I'd definitly buy it though. |

I think I must be clueless when it comes to listing stuff on ebay for sale. I have had my 360 Challenge grille on ebay for 2 days now with on 69 people looking at it. Rumordude has had his F50 ride on for like 5 days to the tune of 21,000 people if I remember right. What am I doing wrong? I obviously need the traffic to sell these parts. Thanks. |
