    when you listed your car, where there any "add on" services to your listing like pictures, escrow, insurance, transport, or especially any marketing programs?

    Grazie!

    No. Out of those options, the only one you can 'add' are photos/white glove services.

    Transport is on the buyer.

    I just wasn't sure how much they were trying to package 3rd party services with the listing. I bet they will eventually do that, I believe most Classified systems and inperson auctions have maximized these 3rd party offerings.

    I would guess their business model won't follow the other systems that push extras (assume the simplicity of BaT, from both seller/buyer perspectives is a large portion of their allure and 'transparency'). I may be wrong, but their ability to remove themselves from responsibility is part of their power, and adding services, even if third party, can bring on unwanted ammo.

    I agree with that, when I was operating FerrariChat solo many didn't understand my KISS approach. Many of those extra things are 10x the headache for 1/10th the benefit.

    none at the time

    they've added "shipping" since but they should be offering all of those

    they have also "partnered" with local sellers but that appears to be hands off

    The escrow system is a liability nightmare.

    they're odd too. I submitted a pristine set of 430 luggage to them and they declined it????? meanwhile they sell Ferrari luggage all the time on their site. I have a 5 piece 430 set in tan i may submit to them, but with their decline of my other set i am not holding my breath. They seem to have their favorites....
