Default how easily will my car sell on ebay?

Im going to be selling my 2005 acura RSX (the non-S version) its got 27,500 miles on it and is in good condition other than some door dings. anyway, I really want to sell it as easily as possible and ebay seemed like a good answer (Im aware of all the scams and plan on using every precaution) how easily will it sell and about how much should I expect (and for that matter, how much could I expect from a trade in?)

Ebay is not really the best way to sell a car, certainly not if it's the ONLY thing you're doing. If someone backs out, you're stuck with the (high) cost of listing, and the (high) final value fees. Or you can be stuck with it. And then you have to list it again. With most venues, someone comes, they look at it, if they like it they buy it, if they don't, it doesn't have any affect on anyone else buying it. On Ebay, failed attempts mean most of the other bidders are basically locked out of the failed attempt, even if they would have actually gone through with it (there is "2nd chance" but by the time you get to them they may have moved on) and having a car relisted over and over again doesn't look good. Failed attempts can HURT future attempts.If you DO try Ebay, be aware of scams. DO NOT post your phone number on the Ebay listing, unless you like lots of 3 am calls from Nigeria via TTY relay. Also, list your car elsewhere. Craigslist, Auto Trader, your local penny saver or newspaper.

EBay does sell alot of their cars, make sure you put it in that you will ship anywhere at their cost, you accept Paypal and that you will take Best offer or put a Buy it Now on it.
