eBay Auto Auction: Motor Auctions
Motor Auctions: "Parts" Are The Safest Specialty Area For Motor Auctions
eBay Motor: auctions of cars, motorbikes and parts
eBay motor auctions are one of the most interesting, yet one of the most obscure eBay business opportunities. There are dozens, if not hundreds, offers showing up everyday – and while it's not much compared to the eBay bookstores, the amount of cash flowing through the eBay motor auctions (whether car, motorbike or spare part) is astounding. Even for this reason it may be a good idea to take a closer look at them and see if we can make some money out of them.
Cars & motorcycle auctions
The best-known, but the least (really!) profitable part of eBay motor auctions site are cars and motorbikes' auctions. * The risk of fraud is high
Problems during shipment are common
The profits are sometimes marginal.
It is, of course, possible to sell a car much above its value and make a healthy few-thousand-dollar profit, but such cases are rare and very often you will find yourself in a situation when you will have to sell a car for less than you predicted.
In short, unless you're a car dealer already, motor auctions per se might be too dangerous for you to get into. The level of your knowledge about cars is certainly a major factor.
Parts ... the great, but often forgotten business oportunity
However, there is a way to profit from eBay motor auctions that does not require owning a regular car dealing enterprise. It is selling car parts. While it might sound ridiculous, it is both much safer and easier to handle (lesser shipment fees and easier stockpiling of wares).

Not to mention the fact that, unlike in case of motor auctions, there are places of the world where some parts are much more expensive than in US and you will be able to make a healthy profit only because you sell stuff that is unavailable anywhere nearby.
