I have sold 3 self-built kayaks. The first was a CLC Shearwater 17. I actually put it on eBay "buy it now", then cancelled the listing when I got someone interested enough to take a test paddle. I decided that eBay wasn't the way to go when I tried to sell another one there-you can plaster the listing with "LOCAL PICKUP ONLY!", but still get interest from someone in Missouri. The other two sold quickly & easily from Craigslist, both from my front yard, without even a test paddle. Every one was sold for close to the cost of building materials.
