eBay Motors: largest reach, fee on every sale

eBay runs a Motorcycles & Powersports parts and accessories category with the largest buyer pool for used motorcycle parts available online in the US. For sellers without a store subscription, the final value fee is 13.6% on the total sale amount up to $7,500, then 2.35% on anything above that. Sellers with a Basic or higher Store subscription pay 11.5% on the first $1,000 per item, then 2.35% above. Both tiers carry an additional per-order fee. You list, photograph, and ship each part yourself, and compete in a crowded results page.

The reach is real. The tradeoff is that the fee structure eats into margin on low-cost parts, and high-volume sellers who can spread that cost across many sales get more out of the channel than occasional sellers.

MX Locker: powersports-focused, still commission-based

MX Locker is a US powersports marketplace that started in motocross and expanded to cover street motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, and gear. Listing is free. When an item sells, MX Locker charges a 10% selling fee plus a 3% payment processing fee, totaling 13% combined. The audience skews heavily toward powersports buyers, which can make it a better fit for brand-specific parts than a general marketplace. It is smaller than eBay overall.

For a seller already listing on eBay, MX Locker adds a focused second channel with similar economics. For a seller looking to avoid per-sale fees entirely, the commission model is the same fundamental issue.

Facebook Marketplace and motorcycle groups: free, but scattered

Facebook Marketplace reaches local buyers and costs nothing. More relevant for motorcycle parts are the brand-specific Facebook groups, where riders actively search for parts for their exact make and model. Harley-Davidson groups, Honda groups, and model-level communities can connect you to engaged buyers who are already looking for what you carry.

The cost is zero on listing fees. The cost in time is high: no buyer protection, no seller verification, and you handle every message, question, and negotiation personally. Craigslist follows the same model with a narrower audience.

AnyPartsHub: matched requests, flat fee, no commission

AnyPartsHub works the other direction. Instead of listing parts and waiting, you receive buyer requests. A buyer posts the year, make, model, specific part, and condition preference. The platform matches that request to verified motorcycle parts sellers based on the brands they carry, part categories they stock, and service area. You respond only to the requests you can fill.

Pricing is a flat monthly subscription with no commission on sales. A busy month with multiple deals closed costs the same as a slow one. Sellers build a verified rating over time, which affects how buyers choose between competing responses.

  • MX Locker: powersports-focused audience, 10% selling fee + 3% payment processing = 13% combined, listing-based.
  • Facebook Marketplace / groups: free, large brand-specific communities, no protection, high time cost per sale.
  • AnyPartsHub: buyers request, you respond, flat subscription, no commission, verified profile.

Which one is right for you

If you move high volume and can absorb per-sale fees, eBay's reach is difficult to replace. If you want a powersports-focused audience with similar economics and a smaller pool, MX Locker adds a useful second channel. Facebook groups work well for brand-specific parts and local buyers at zero cost, with the tradeoff that every sale is self-managed. A flat-fee, request-based platform removes the commission and the listing overhead, which matters most when you're moving higher-ticket OEM used parts where every percentage point of margin counts. Most sellers who run this as a real business use more than one channel, with a flat-fee platform as the anchor. See plans.
