As title, what's the best way to sell a car on ebay if you want a reserve on it. Bang it on as an auction that can only last 10 days and put a reserve on or put it in a classified for 28 days with a top price but open to offers? I'd want people to come and view but they would only be able to do that at night (dark) or weekend (max two weekends in 10 day listing).
Classified add is cheaper but do people look at these?

One way is a 10 day listing and start it on a Thursday, that way punters get 2 weekend to view and the auction will end on a Sunday(the best day)

classified a none genuine bidder can click an buy it then an leave you with ebay charges if they dont pay i.e say a ebayer with less that 10% feedback
auction they cant just win it an not buy an you can remove there bid if they not got 10% feedback
only say this as i sold a bike on ebay back in november an some knb head clicked buy it now an never got in contact so i launched an ebay thing an nothing ever happened apart from me having to pay over £50 ebay charges an since then i dont put buy it nows on anything

Make sure you list it in the evening i.e. around about 7PM time so it'll finish at the same time (I've seen many an item not reach the going rate as its ended either early morning or when everyone is at work)

Could also put in the listing that the car is listed else where - that way if someone on here wants to buy it you can pull it off
