    Do any of those High End exotics actually sell through Ebay ? Or do people just use Ebay as a support for their real ad/dealer ?

    I mean what if i were to put a car with a stupidily high BIN price just to get in touch with potential buyers by mail/^phone ?

    I'd say it's almost entirely for advertising purposes and to attract buyers. However, some (although a very few percentage of those advertised) do get sold directly online through the auctions.

    So people use Ebay as a secondary support for their ad when selling their Exotic but never really intend to sell them through Ebay ? How does Ebay see this ? Arent they suppose to take a % on each successful auction ? Or are they just happy with the fee you pay for the ad ?

    They don't take percentages of cars...$25 to list and $25 if it sells.
