We are professionals at selling anything on eBay, Craigslist, Kuui and Gumtree. We have an established record both online and in our community, and base our business on customer service. We know how to photograph and describe Items to get our sellers the best possible prices. Buyers on eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji and Gumtree feel more secure buying from a business rather than an individual with only a few feedbacks or not at all. Of course, our service goes further than that, visit our Why Us page to find more amazing advantages that our company can offer.

Although we sell on eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji or Gumtree, the marketplaces are different. Craigslist, Kijiji and Gumtree does not have listing fees or templates to choose from, and the listings last between 7 and 45 days. Ads placed on web sites such as Craigslist, Kijiji or Gumtree, have fixed prices, so you cannot bid on them. The prices are the ones listed and are usually negotiable. In most cases, the shipping fees are already included in the sale price. That makes our selling policy different. Any item you are interested in, it is sold through our company services and both parties have agreed with the terms of sale, by simply click the Register button on our web site and enter the details requested on the Registration form. The price entered is different from the original Craigslist, Kipp or Gumtree sale price (normally after a re-negotiation between both parties). Sellers confirmation is needed before we start the transaction. If the seller response is positive, PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS will send an invoice with specific transaction information and payment instructions, needed to successfully complete the transaction. Upon confirmation, payment will be secured into one of our trust accounts and held there until the transaction is completed. The shipping process will start as soon as the payment is received and confirmed by our Financial Department. The item will be delivered within 5 days after payment confirmation. Note that, sometimes it can take up to 3 business days to receive the payment into our bank account. The 7 Day Money Back Guarantee period will start from the date that the Buyer receives the item and will allow to return it if he is dissatisfied with its conditions. If the buyer is satisfied, we will pay the Seller and keep our fees. Due to our “No Sale, No Charge" policy, the seller will not be paid until the end of the transaction. If the buyer is NOT satisfied with the purchase, a refund can be initiated by using our secure Refund Form. The refund must be requested during the 7 Day Money Back Guarantee period and will be processed in maximum 72 hours. The Buyer and Seller will be able to verify the transaction status in real time by entering their Transaction ID (#) number into the Check Transaction Status label, from our website. For more information about the process itself, check out our How It Works page.

To sell on PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS, you first make an appointment with one of our representatives to set up the terms of sale and to visually inspect what you are selling. To do that, you must first register as a Seller by using our registration form. One of our representatives will contact you to set up an appointment where our staff can visually inspect what you are selling and set up the rest of the transaction. Then, you can either place a selling ad, or make an offer on a wanted ad on eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji or Gumtree. Your selling ad is free until you complete the sale and you can sell multiple items, to multiple buyers, from a single ad. When a Buyer makes you an offer, PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS will send you an e-mail with the details and a link to your ad. If you like the offer and will accept it then the Buyer will issue you a purchase order (PO). Once you receive the PO, you will know that your money has been safely collected and verified, and we are free to ship the Item. Once the buyer receives the item as agreed, You will be able to collect your payment directly from your bank (minus the transaction fee, detailed in ‘Fees’ section).

PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS is always free for buyers. Sellers are charged according to company fees. Registration is required, but there are no entry fees, membership dues or monthly charges to use the service. Sellers pay no transaction fee for eChecks and a small transaction fee when they complete a sale via credit card, plus our normal commission, which depends on what you are selling and for how much. No sale, no charge! Credit card transaction fees are deducted when the funds are transferred to a Bank Account.

Yes, we sell on Kijiji and Gumtree too, but since Kijiji and Gumtree are eBay companies, we refer to it as an "eBay Marketplace".

PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS and PayPal are both payment services that can be used to pay just about anyone, anywhere online. With PayPal, the Buyer pays the Seller before they receive their purchase, and then wait for it to arrive. With PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS, the money is collected and held for the seller until the buyer receives the item. The seller is being paid when both parties are satisfied. PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS protects buyers and sellers equally from fraud.

Sure, you can! PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS is the safest way to buy or sell anything, to anyone, on eBay, Craigslist, Kijiji and Gumtree. However, the procedure is different from selling on Craigslist, Kijiji or Gumtree, since eBay is not a free classified web site. This affects our service fees, which are higher for selling on eBay. In addition, eBay is far more secure than Craigslist, Kijiji or Gumtree and both buyers and sellers can accept more payment methods.

No. PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS is NOT affiliated with any of these companies in any way, we are just using these marketplaces to sell our items, just like any other individual sellers or dealerships. PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS is not an eBay, Craigslist, or Gumtree Company.

Yes, you must register to use PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS, either as a buyer or seller. It is fast, free and user friendly. Do not worry; your privacy is important to us. We will never share your registration information unless you start a transaction. In that case, we are obligated to share your information to the other party because on any Internet transaction, both parties (buyer and seller) must be involved.

PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS ONLY supports sellers with valid Bank Accounts and buyers who have the ability to pay using the PLATINUM CLASSIC CARS system through its payment options. We offer our services ONLY in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, but upon request, we accept outside transactions too. In such cases, we ship worldwide but additional shipping charges will be applied and can vary from one to another transaction. If you are outside of those countries, please contact our Customer Support for a shipping quote before registering.

Invoices are usually sent within 24 hours from the registration time. If you do not receive the transaction's invoice within the next 24 hours, make sure you check all your e-mail folders, including spam, bulk or junk e-mail folder as our contact e-mail address is not added into your e-mail address book, and that could lead in non-delivering the transaction's invoice into the e-mail inbox folder. If the transaction's invoice is unreachable, you should contact our Customer Support Team for further assistance.

The Transaction 10 number is a unique number, generated and assigned to your transaction, which you can be used to check your transaction status anytime during the process. It is issued only after the buyer registers and the transaction is initiated by the seller.
