Keep seeing cars on ebay with no swop wink wink...

What does this mean? is it monty python related? am I just out of touch? All I can think is the cars are full of drugs or something and the car is just the carrier...

Maybe ebay don't allow swapping, but this is peoples way of getting round it.

Not very indiscrete though!

Just a guess, probs a million miles off.

EBay is like any other business, it makes cash for selling your product.

To list a car is about £6. You pay this just to place the advert or enter the auction depending on what way you look at it. Then they make there biggest percentage on the final valuation fee. I think on that it would have cost around £60.

So if you use eBay to advertise and sell/swap out side of it they don’t collect
Same reason they don’t like selling outside of eBay.
