all i ever got out of ebay on truck sales are dip-*****s that will bid to hit the reserve, retract the bid and bid $1.00 under. i guess to impress there looser friends. craigslist on the other hand ive done great. sold four vech. on there. and three did a direct deposit to my bank account for me to hold it. ill never try, or even think, of selling a vech on ebay again.

Just out of curiosity, was the direct deposit a down payment, then they transferred the balance into your account when they picked up the vehicle? I am just trying to learn for when the time comes for me to sell.
An option that has worked well for me on CL is a sizable PayPal deposit. Sure, it costs you a few $$ but get a sizable deposit. Then it is cash on the balance at time of delivery or pickup.
Yeah, CL has been good for me.
Edit: I sold a motorhome on ebay classifieds a few years back, no problems.

I've bought and sold a fair amount of stuff, both big ticket and small, on eBay and only had one slightly bad experience from a total **** but I got it straightened out with the guy fairly quickly. I've also sold and bought on CL without a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky.
I did have a second experience with eBay. I sold a cab to a guy in another state far away and got full payment. We communicated regularly about pick up of the cab for about a month but then the guy stopped responding to my emails. I called and left messages and even sent a registered letter, no response so after 3 months I sold the cab to someone else.
My son has used CL and a few times. One of the first times he was walking out the door to go check buy an item and luckily I asked where he was going. He was looking for a part for his car and a CL seller just happened to parting out the exact car. The seller was in a very dicey part of town, a place from my experience, where you wouldn't want to go without an armed guard. We live in a small town and my son is a little naïve and doesn't know the city. I checked CL and found numerous ads with the same format but with different cars. I emailed the seller asking for his phone number but he never got back to me. I wouldn't let me son go. Another time my son had a potential buyer for his car answer his CL ad. My son said he didn't feel comfortable about the guy when he talked to him on the phone. I told him to arrange the viewing in our local police department's parking lot, he did and the guy never showed up.
