Car selling services - Scam?

Every since I listed my car on Autotrader, I have been getting 1-2 phone calls a week from companies that want to sell my car for me. They all promise to get me my full asking price with no hassle. One said that they were actually a finance company. Some of them are automated calls.

Obviously this is some kinda scam, but does anyone know exactly what the catch is?

Would I get a reacharound, lube, or just a high hard one?

Probably a scam, just sell it yourself for a little higher than the highest offer you think you can possibly get, then work your way down from there.

They could be legit companies. They sell the car for you (they do the advertising/listing, negotiating, paperwork, etc.) and you pay them a percentage when it's sold.

It's like those companies that sell stuff for you on eBay.
