eBay, Has anyone used it for selling cars?

It's 2024....is anyone selling New vehicles on eBay Motors? Any success, pros, cons, or just tell me to run far far away from eBay?
Ebay is mainly for USED vehicles. Sold three in the last two months in auctions but all ended early with Buy It Now. Love Ebay because you don't usually have to deal with customers wasting your time saying they will come look at it and never show, and if they do come, they are just joy riders. On Ebay you just have to deal with ONE customer, the winning bidder. Also their rates dropped from about $120 a year or two ago for a 10 day auction to $79 now, so listing some cheaper cars as well.

Cars & Bids and BaT have a limited audience. Some cars can bring stupid money, while most bring about wholesale. Had my 2019 Civic Type R listed on C&B recently that was bid to $25K. No sale. Listed it on Ebay a week later and sold it for $32K with B.I.N,

Dealers discuss whether eBay Motors is a viable sales channel, with most reporting they abandoned it due to high fees, time-intensive operations, payment issues, and competition from independents, though niche markets (high-end classics, specific enthusiast vehicles) and newer platforms like Cars and Bids and Bring-a-Trailer are seen as better alternatives. A few recent users report modest success selling used vehicles through eBay auctions at lower listing costs, finding value in dealing with committed bidders rather than tire-kickers, though results are inconsistent and often yield wholesale-level prices.
