Can someone explain to me why people wait 6-8 weeks to list their cars on BAT or PCARMARKET? What is the difference between listing on those websites versus on eBay? Is it the potential of specific customers who only visit those specific websites?

It's all about the presentation and audience. With both of the aforementioned auction sites, there is a ton of pictures, video, and background on the cars. Personally, I don't trust eBay cars as I've just heard too many horror stories. Another thing with BAT/PCAR is that other keen enthusiasts are also viewing the auctions who can point out issues or ask the right questions, while receiving prompt responses from the sellers for everyone to see.
Beautiful car! Did they give you a time frame from submission? I submitted a car over 2 weeks ago, had professional photos taken over 1 week ago, and no sign of any immediate action from them. No listing agent yet etc. I Know they are slammed, but it could be a month from submission to listing for me.

I just sold my GT3T on PCarMarket, a very different experience. They followed up in 24h, had calls from multiple people to guide me through the process on their site. It took a few days to review photos & description and went live on my timeline.
BAT has a waiting list for certain cars from what i have read from people listing on BAT.....BAT wont list 2 of the same exact cars, which makes sense they dont want one car competing with another
I'm trying to reverse-engineer the comments in this 166-page thread to determine what makes a "good" GT3, setting aside all subjective taste (colors, etc) stuff and maybe could use some validation that I'm not missing something obvious. I'm looking for a CPO, sub $200k PDK .2 car, it seems that I should be looking for FAL, extended tank, full leather, and buckets. Any other configurations to pursue/avoid so I don't find myself with an odd-duck car?

you do not need the extended range fuel tank, for daily driving the normal fuel tank is large enough!

So it sounds like the Rennlist classifieds without the additional price tag. Most comments I have seen on these listing are not constructive.
Does BAT or PCRAMARKET actually inspect these cars and confirm that they are actually in the condition the buyer claims them to me in? I have heard that they do a photo shoot but is an actual inspection (at least a cosmetic one) done?

I haven't seen too many classified ads on RL that have wow'd me. The auction sites definitely don't inspect the cars, I'm sure they don't want the liability and simply act as a middleman. The photoshoot is at the seller's cost or you can provide your own pics. I guess the main appeal to list with them is the broad audience.
What do you mean by the +5K BAT? Does the seller pay BAT $5K or vice versa?
Plus if you ask me, this car had the potential to get at least $260K in the open market from the right buyer.
It is the buyers premium. The buyer is required to pay 5% of the hammer price to the auction house (BAT). It is capped at $5k so that is the buyers premium for this car.

Does BAT keep the $5K or does it go to the seller?
The marketplace, e.g. BAT or PCAR, keeps the fee. It's the same w major auction houses such as Sotheby's, Christies, etc. except they take 25-30%
Wow.
I guess I’m with KOTB. I don’t see the appeal of these two sites. And I just went through a few recent auctions and don’t see the sale prices as being remarkable, in general.
