Why Do Almost All Ebay Auto Auctions Fail?
Few get relisted. It seems that either most cars are sold ouside eBay (circumventing the feeback mechanism) or get sold locally (making eBay nothing more than an advertisement).
What's up? It sounds fishy. A dealer can offer a few creampuffs and get great feedback but list most cars with inflated prices only to offer them cheaper outside the confines of eBay. Is this what happens?

Dealers use eBay as an advertisement, not as the only way to sell their cars. If they do sell a car from their lot that is also listed on eBay, AutoTrader or Cars, they have to take the listing down. There is also an idea that every car must get sold if it is listed on eBay. That is very far from the truth. Though alot of cars are sold through them, most dealers don’t sell any.

some of the best car manufacturers have their own training programs. In European countries their school programs work differently, by high school age kids have chosen a specialty and they start training with specific companies. I believe BMW has a training program where they take students at high school age and start training them to be engineers. I'm not sure if they have similar programs if you just want to be a mechanic but its worth investigating.
You might go to some local high-end shops like a BMW dealership. Ask some of the mechanics what route they took. Ask an owner or manager what they would look for when hiring new mechanics.
Good Luck.
