AutoTrader.com, the number one automotive classifieds site, announced the launch of its new Auction-Style Listings product for private sellers.

AutoTrader.com's Auction-Style Listings encourage local market bidding, giving sellers more flexibility to sell vehicles both online and offline. Unlike existing auction-style sites, AutoTrader.com does not charge a sell fee, so buyers and sellers do not have to transact online. Additionally, since mainstream car buyers strongly prefer to see a car before buying it, buyers are able to bid on conditional auction-style listings, which allow the winning bidder to inspect the car before completing the purchase.

AutoTrader.com first launched its Auction-Style Listing product earlier this year in a version designed for dealers.
