eBay Motors Payment Methods
eBay Motors has a lot of vehicles for sale, but there’s a bottleneck: the platform doesn’t offer a great way to send and receive large sums. What if there was a payment solution that allowed you to transfer up to $1M instantly with no fees?
Read on to learn how PrivateAuto Pay removes payment friction from vehicle transactions on eBay Motors—or anywhere cars are sold.
What Payment Methods Does eBay Motors Offer?
eBay Motors offers the following payment options for buyers and sellers. Each of these methods has serious drawbacks.
There is a better way to transfer funds safely, cheaply, and quickly.
•
PayPal and credit cards charge fees of 2-3%. They quickly add up to hundreds of dollars on car purchases, eating into budgets for buyers and profits for sellers.
•
Cashier's checks cause delays in accessing funds and are super old-school and clunky.
•
Bank transfers mean sharing financial details online with strangers, which raises major privacy and fraud risks for buyers and sellers alike. They also take time to clear.
•
In-person cash exchanges place undue security burdens and risks on both buying and selling parties when handling thousands of dollars in cash. It’s also inconvenient to withdraw and deposit large amounts of cash.
