Don’t limit your motorcycle auction to “local pickup only”. Limiting to local pickup will greatly reduce your potential buyer universe, which would potentially reduce your final sell price.

 

Make sure you clearly state how you will agree to ship the bike, what are the options and whose responsibility it will be upon the auction end. Usually sellers pass that responsibility on buyers by simply indicating in the listing that “Buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.”

 

There are many motorcycle shipping companies available to choose from: Allied/Federal Motorcycle Transport, HAULBIKES, Dependable Auto Shippers and others. An instant free shipping quote is available on each motorcycle eBay auction as a service to buyers.

 

If you leave within an hour or two from a major airport, offer to pickup your buyer from the airport (upon successful receipt of the deposit). Many car dealers that have been successfully selling cars on eBay offer this service. This option will add value to your listing since the potential buyer now does not need to worry about transportation from the airport and finding his or her way to your place.
