Joe - you hit the nail on the head regarding Cars.com and AutoTrader on this, we saw this trend in the early spring when local dealers' inventory started taking precedence over the large inventory aggregator's inventory in the search engine results.  The difference to me is the HUGE amount of direct traffic that eBay Motors gets, which is significantly higher than Cars.com and AutoTrader.  Note also that eBay Motors has a HUGE amount of direct traffic looking at ~250,000 cars listed at one time vs. several million cars being listed on Cars.com and AutoTrader.  With all that said, selling on eBay takes a lot of work, and you will not be successful without giving it the focus and effort it needs.
