I sold on BAT.
A few things you should know.
BAT is the forum, auction happens and BAT gets paid before connecting buyer and seller. They don't really care if buyer walks away at that point. Their job of selling is done, not yours.
Lots of buyers have multiple accounts, they will very skillfully trash cars in comments section before bidding gets too high hoping to get a deal. "I saw this car last summar bashed up, must have been cleaned up quickly for sale" or "these have that pherabolic engine problem blah blah" to spook and create uncertainty. BAT will not remove any comments no matter how unverified. I have seen buyers boasting of a 'score" by doing this.
So while buyers can post and keep anything they want, BAT will rewrite your ad to make sure your claims are all substantiated. In the end the wording is theirs, not yours and you just get to approve it.
Finally auction goes on whey they want to, not you. The slot you in around other auctions so there are not 3 similar cars on at once, but it's dealers who sell many cars through them will get much more control.
They also set the limit, and you agree to them. They want cars to sell, not advertise but it is a little frustrating
I sold one through them, it went fine but would not do it again. I sold another through eBay, went a lot smoother but different kinds of cars so apples and oranges.
